Gravatar Good catch, Deborah. I had exactly the same reaction as yours when I saw this quotation over at Political Animal. Steve Benen missed it but Kevin Drum never would have.


Gravatar I love how Goode trumpets his support for "Judeo-Christian" values. The fundies seem to have glommed on to the Jews as their new best friends of the moment, but I doubt he would hesitate to throw them under the bus if he needed a different religious bogeyman. Anyway, he probably just wants to get them all back to Israel in order to bring on Armageddon, after which any who remain unconverted will die a fiery death. With friends like these...


Gravatar Interestingly enough, the government has already been infiltrated by a religious group. Of course, Virgil's not bothered by it since it's not a problem if the US gets molded into the image of his religion.

(Sorry for the blog-whore; just thought it was relevant )


Gravatar Kathy,

These Christians have no respect for Jewish values, nor indeed any real knowledge of what those values are. They use the phrase "Judeo-Christian" as a gloss so that they do not appear to be favoring establishment. As long as they include Jews, they are not trying to establish Christianity as a State religion. Yea right sure.

Fact is, there's very, very little that qualifies as "Judeo-Christian" besides monotheism and the Pentatauch. Everything else is different. And of course, the interpretation of the nature of both monotheism and the Pentatauch is different. It's a bullshit phrase.
