Ralph Reed, then executive director of the Christian Coalition, basically conceded defeat in the Culture War. Said the "Christians" (meaning HIS brand of Christians of course) had pretty much lost and should disengage from politics and concentrate on, I don't know, saving people's souls or something.

But then we all know what happened. I think we just have to keep working our asses off to keep them from enacting their views into law. A dem president appointing people who aren't religious zealots to the various federal courts would not only be a good start, I think it's actually pretty damn urgent at this point.

And while I'm here, I might as well engage in some gratuitous nader-bashing: Anybody who thinks there's no real difference between the D's and the R's is plainly ignorant of the importance of judge-made law in this country. 4 more years of Bush appointments to the federal bench means that in 10-15 years none of us will recognize the America we grew up in. You can take that to the bank.
