Not in Derb's GOP!
What religious problem could a magazine started by a faithful Catholic possibly have? Two words: John Derbyshire.
John Derbyshire really doesn't like those conservative Christian zealots who make up a significant part of the GOP base. The 'Derb', as some call him, relentlessly attacked Ben Stein
here,
here, and
here over Stein's excellent documentary
Expelled. Stein was equated to, among other things, Islamo-Nazis and Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Now
'the Derb' has set his anti-religious gunsights on Louisiana Gov. and rising conservative spokesman Bobby Jindal. Why? Gov. Jindal has the audacity to believe that
there is such a thing as evil in world.
Thankfully, we have
Kathryn Jean Lopez on the scene to set the ignorant Derb straight.
"Bobby Jindal wrote that article years ago, in a totally appropriate
forum. News flash: There's evil in the world. We already learned long
ago that Jindal has committed the sin of being, like most of America, a
believer. Considering you gotta have a high dose of faith to have a
shot at cleaning up Louisiana, I'd say his past experiences provide
good armor."
