Here is your answer. Be sure to pass it along.

I found this great quote via Andrew Sullivan. I think it really gets to the heart of the issue of why some are so desperate to mix conservative politics and religious fundamentalism.

It's from Philip Wentworth's 1932 article on how college destroyed his faith:

It is no accident...that the groups which are demanding ever more stringent laws to regulate our private lives are identical, almost to a man, with the religious groups in the population. It makes no difference whether they are Protestants clamoring for stricter enforcement of prohibition or Catholics agitating for stricter legislation regarding the dissemination of birth-control information. In both instances increasing pressure is being brought to bear upon government to take over the practical functions of religion--and for the obvious reason that religion, in its decay, is no longer able to do its work in the world. (Emphasis mine).

To me, this seems exactly right, but I wanted to consult with the SiftMind to see if I (or Wentworth) are off base.

Well, my predictions here about the last major primaries turned out to be pretty good (especially the bit about the crotch grenade). So, I thought I'd venture a prediction about Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary.

I think the "bitter" controversy and Obama's debate performance really stalled his momentum. Given that most of the "undecideds" are demographically favorable to Hillary--I'm guessing that they are going to break for her 65/35--that stall is going to prove decisive.

Unfortunately, I think Hillary wins by 12 points.

What do y'all think?
