Crunchy Kuo revisited

Posted October 30, 2006 - 8:54pm by Joseph Knippenberg

I finally finished reading David Kuo's book today, having said harsh things about his book promotion campaign over at THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR ONLINE a little over a week ago.

I guess I still disagree with many of Kuo's practical political judgments and regard the timing of his book rollout as not the least political move a person has ever made.

But it's not my place to question the sincerity of his faith or his convictions about what his faith calls him to do.

Not Going To Play the Game, Going to Change the Game

As anyone who knows me can attest, I am and have always been a very idealistic person. I can remember in high school and college people telling me that I am too idealistic and assuming that it would wear off with age. Well, it hasn't. I'm in my mid-30s, married with two children and as idealistic as ever. 

So you can imagine my dismay at many of the cynical reactions that I have received in response to my article about Ann Coulter. I guess I expected better from people in the conservative movement. I'm not sure why.

Huge Gaffe from Harold Ford Jr.

While I am disturbed at the suggestion that some would do away with bringing their faith into political discussions, I am also concerned when people use their faith to demogogue. Harold Ford Jr. stepped way over the line in a remark this weekend and may have put a serious dent in his campaign.
