  So he is the Catholic that all those Protestants were so afraid of in 1960.

  'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'" Ronald Reagan

  Is "the public square" part of that JFK speech? Because if he didn't pull it from that text it made no sense. I understand what he trying to say about objecting to the absolute nature of the discussion but he sure doesn't articulate it for people outside of his base.

  Of friggin course someone's religion is going to color their political philosophy to some extent, the scary part is if they base their philosophy totally on their religion.

  There is a huge difference between separation of church and state and having one's beliefs influence one's opinions.

  The GOP big tent now is the size of a pup tent, its floor splattered with guano.
