Yesterday’s e-mail from Tony Perkins‘ Family Research Council laid the blame for the weekend’s tragic shootings at a Colorado mission and church at the feet of the dreaded secular media. “It’s not hard to draw a line,” Perkins wrote, “between the hostility that is being fomented in our culture from some in the secular media […]

THINGS YOU NEVER LEARNED ABOUT CHANUKAH FROM YOUR HIPPIE RABBI.
This newsflash popped into my inbox from one Rabbi Yehuda Levin (on the Christian Newswire no less!), claiming to speak on behalf of the Orthodox Rabbinical Alliance of America: Chanukah was historically and remains a celebration of the victory over Hellenistic Jewish social liberals and the homosexual agenda. There are a lot of theories about […]

ROMNEY’S GODSTUFF.
I’d like to second I’d like to second Ezra’s sentiments about Romney’s speech. It was, at its core, as anti-Enlightenment as Rod Parsley’s most recent book, Culturally Incorrect, which pointed to the Enlightenment as the root of all of our current problems. Romney posited that Americans believe that “liberty is a gift of God, not […]

ACCOUNTING FOR HUCKABEE’S LACK OF INTEL ON THE NEW INTEL.
Following up on Scott’s post, Mike Huckabee’s ignorance about the NIE actually isn’t that surprising. His shoestring campaign, to my knowledge, doesn’t have any foreign policy advisers, and Huckabee is more interested in reaching out to apocalyptic end-timers like Kenneth Copeland and Tim LaHaye, for whom the only sound Middle East policy is found in […]

Why the GOP Won’t Get Behind Huckabee
Why hasn’t this charmer with a perfect record on the right’s core social litmus tests not already wrapped up the Republican nomination? Look no further than the uber-conservatives who are spitting mad that he’s too nice to poor people and foreigners.

TO ANSWER MY LAST QUESTION…
Perhaps an endorsement from Lynchburg is not far behind? Jerry Falwell, Jr. endorsed Huckabee this morning. Also, for the first time, Huckabee is ahead in Iowa, according to a Rasmussen poll, three points up on Romney, 16 points up on Giuliani, and 17 points up on Thompson. –Sarah Posner

HUCKABEE ON THE TELEVANGELIST CIRCUIT.
Mike Huckabee is appearing all this week on televangelist Kenneth Copeland‘s Believers’ Voice of Victory program, and in the first two episodes, there was a lot of discussion about “character,” “integrity,” and “excellence.” All that talk didn’t move Copeland to mention either Sen. Chuck Grassley‘s probe of his ministry or the Oral Roberts University scandal, […]

TOM DELAY: “THE LEFT HAS SURPASSED US.”
That’s the rallying cry behind Hot Tub Tom‘s new venture, the Coalition for a Conservative Majority (CCM), a political advocacy group designed to unite all those fractured conservatives around the cause of out-mobilizing Democrats. “For six years now,” reads CCM’s opening salvo, “former leaders of the Clinton administration have studied and surpassed the conservative grassroots […]
