in Ideology in Your DNA? Not Quite. on The Washington Independent
The notion that we're born with political leanings is nothing new. 126 years ago, Gilbert and Sullivan had a guard outside the Houses of Parliament reflect,

"I often think it comical
(Tra la la la, tra la la la)
That nature always doth contrive
(Tra la la la, la)
That ev'ry boy and ev'ry gal
That's born into this world alive
Is either a little Liberal
Or else a little Conservative."

in Immature Media or Mature Faith? (by Diana Butler Bass) on God's Politics
I had the pleasure of meeting Diana Tuesday night at Christ Church Episcopal in New Haven, where we exchanged a few words about the Compassion Forum. I share her feelings about the shocking contrast in tone and content between Sunday's event and the debate in Philadelphia.

I'm new to the blog (although I read the book God's Politics when it came out), so I don't know the personalities here. (Although I can tell by his use of the term "drive-by" that Moderatelad is a Limbaugh listener, and thus his name would appear to be a misnomer.) But it's interesting to see readers who are presumably Christian so willing to judge Barack Obama for his acquaintance with a former revolutionary. I wonder how you would feel about someone who chose to befriend prostitutes, tax collectors and other sinners?
