From The Revealer:

As do a new generation of Christian conservative leaders who look at Pat Robertson in his dotage and Jim Dobson in his proud fury and D. James Kennedy in his absurd, shellacked hair dye, and decide to plot a more subtle course. That means theological and political adjustments, But liberals and newspaper reporters shouldn’t mistake those adjustments for a fundamentally different relationship of Christian conservatism to power; indeed, it remains constant. National preachers do what they need to do to stay close to the muscle in American life. There are no “good” preachers and “bad” preachers at that level, there are only power preachers, some smarter than others. (Revealer)

Word. Beware the fundamentalist bearing a message of tolerance, for his goodwill is as thin as nonexistent underwear.
