More Golden Mean pandering.

LOL, that’s a new one.

I wonder though… why would you pander if you’re not a politician? Wallis isn’t trying to get elected to anything.

“The country isn’t hungry for a Religious Left to replace a Religious Right. They don’t want to go Left or Right, they want to go deeper, to a moral center.”

More Golden Mean pandering. Most people agree with liberal/Left/progressive policies. The infectious blathering of hate radio has made the label distasteful to the disinterested middle, but not the underlying concepts. The only way conservatives can stay in power is through emotional terrorism, and when even that doesn’t work, by scaring the brown people from the voting box.

I agreed with him so much that I honestly didn’t realize he was a believer.

Thanks for posting this – I’ll be blogging it myself with a link to this site. Not only was it great to see a well balanced Christian political perspective (which is something of a rarity in the US), but it was also great to see Stewart taking the interview seriously and ask some genuinely good questions that weren’t good just for comic relief. All the best

I saw the interview the other night and thought of you, Mike. I was impressed with him and enjoyed the response by the crowd.
