Vive La Resistance

Dick Armey unloads another barrage:

"Freedom is a gift from God Almighty, and we have a responsibility to protect it. Christians face a temptation to power when we are fortunate enough to have a majority of support in Congress. But government can never advance a faith that is freely given, and it is corrosive to even try. ... And so America's Christian conservative movement is confronted with this divide: small government advocates who want to practice their faith independent of heavy-handed government versus big government sympathizers who want to impose their version of 'righteousness' on others through the hammer of law."

It's great to see a Republican call it like it is - for the sake of politics, and for the sake of religion. I'm beginning to feel what may be a sea-change out there. I guess this election will either confirm or refute that.
