The main focus of this article is David Kuo’s book, “Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction.” It has brought the very suspect alliance between evangelical Christians and power hungry neocons back in the spotlight. A few sips: ‘…liberals who care about the poor should be less squeamish about building stronger alliances between government and religiously based social action work. Government can do things the religious and community groups can’t, but the religious and community groups can do things government can’t.’…’When Kuo says there’s something wrong with “taking Jesus and reducing him to some precinct captain, to some get-out-the-vote guy,” he sounds a trumpet that makes you want to follow him into the battle.’..BS
