I see that your posting has hit a nerve with some. I have watched Glenn, and when he talks about politics, I have much in common with him. On the other hand, when he crosses over into areas of religious thought, I have little in common with him. Even before I learned that he was Mormon, there were many troubling aspects of his intertwining of political and religious ideologies. He often speaks of the US Constitution as if it were divinely inspired and the Founding Fathers as if they were prophets from God. It is very dangerous to invoke the “God is on our side” view when it comes to politics.

You completely misinterpret what Glenn expounds on -- when Jefferson wrote "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor" did you think he meant that it was all happenstance or that those men came up with their ideas and ideals all by themselves?
