Atheism/secular humanism masked by an appeal to "tolerance," i.e. speech-suppression intended for the benefit of you know who.

The who being today's version of the NSDAP-wedded to "religion," and not the kind practiced by Christians or Jews, and heartily endorsed by the EU, UN and other anti-Western bodies.

I agree with Ron Paul's critique of the Huckabee campaign-his attempt to turn this race into a contest for Preacher-in-Chief is not only obnoxious, but disturbing-but as usual, his painful inarticulateness mangles the message he's trying to convey.

Plus, it is an apocryphal quote, which Lewis never uttered.

Doesn't matter. What matters is Ron Paul used it to smear Huckabee and, by extension, Christianity. It could have been uttered by Donald Duck and the facts would be the same.

It could have been a completely made up quote by Ron Paul and the facts would remain the same.

Paul is a fool. Paul was wrong for saying what he did. And you, and others, are looking foolish for defending him.

True enough. The Sinclair Lewis Society says it gets at least one inquiry a week on this. It's like that one attributed to Ben Franklin but which was only in a book he published.

Even so, it hardly rises to Huck's level of claiming a theology degree he's never earned.
