He's a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction. Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home. The chronicles of Logan.

"Please give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it."

George Will does get it right, on occasion. And, no, he didn't give us that quote, in fact, he has nothing to do with it. But, if any of you get the Post-Bulletin or happened to find this in another place, good for you, you might have just read what I did.
"Some Christions should practice the magnanimity of the strong rather than cultivate the grievances of the weak. But many Christians are joining today's scramble for the status of victims. There is much lamentation about various 'assaults' on 'people of faith.' Christians are indeed experiencing some petty insults and indignities like restrictions on school Christmas observances. But their persecution complex is unbecoming because it is unrealistic.....(He goes on to cover how popular Christian movies, books, and other media are today.).....Religion is today banished from the public square? John Kennedy finished his first report to the nation on the Soviet missiles in Cuba with these words: 'Thank you and good night.' It would be a rash president who today did not conlude a major address by saying...something very like 'God bless America.' Unbelievers shoud not cavil about this acknowledgement of majority sesibilities. But Republicans should not seem to require, de facto, what the Constitution forbids, de jure: 'No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust.'"
George, good work. This will serve as the premise for the essay I will eventually get to. Maybe tomorrow evening. For now just digest that 'cause I have a couple tests to take.

Awesome! Where'd you find that article? I want to print it off and give it to a friend of mine who is the biggest conservative I know. Though he's annoying, I must respect him for sticking his ground in the midst of a sea of liberals...even when they were all seniors and he a little sophomore. I do enjoy reading George Will from time to time. He did a comparison last year of the Nuremburg trials to the trials of officals in Iraq I think. Mr.Martig went on and on about Mr.Will and how he was just an amazingly intelligent conservative. hmm...at anyrate, awesome finding. I really would like to give it to a few of my conservative buddies.

I found it in a newspaper, some of us oldies still read those. It is most likely somewhere on the internet, he should have a website at least. You respect him for being either dumb or brainwashed?
