One theory I have&#8230; and I welcome others&#8230; is that he doesn&#8217;t take religion seriously at all&#8211;not just for himself, but in general. It is only something to be exploited. Therefore he thinks the words of Jeremiah Wright are &#8220;just for show&#8221; and he is free to cherry-pick what he wants and finds useful. Simultaneously, he doesn&#8217;t believe Ahmadinejad or Hamas, thinks their religious principles are baloney, just like Jeremiah Wright&#8217;s, and that they are simply exploiting them. Since it&#8217;s all a schuck, the Islamofascists can be reasoned with. I couldn&#8217;t imagine a worse man for our times.]]>Fri, 09 May 2008 09:17:59 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
