What is it with the New York Times pushing this stuff? Makes as much sense as the NRA coming out for banning handguns or the National Review calling for tax hikes.
Once again, I'm thankful a Republican or Christian conservative did not write this stuff. The New York Times would have savaged him or her.
I am surprised that they let William Safire stay around.
For the same reason they printed Yasser Arafat's ghost-written op-ed without allowing anyone from the Israeli government to have the opportunity--if it was even offered (which I doubt)--to either respond or write an op-ed on the same day for balance. Their leftist bias is omnipresent.
