…superstition takes his place. Including things like the climate-change religion.
I think it was Chesterton who said that when people cease believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing, they believe anything. This is why, despite my own lack of belief, I think that attacks on organized religion by the Left (as engaged in by people like Dawkins and Dennett) can be disastrous. Like death, God serves a useful societal purpose, if not for every individual, whether He exists or not.
This idiocy can’t end soon enough. Fortunately, even the state’s idiot electorate has finally seen the light.
Why he isn’t President Romney. Mitt was a good businessman (and a good man, among the best ever to run for president), and the country would be in much better shape, both domestically and overseas, if he had won. But he had (and has) no discernible political principles or ideology, and cannot fathom anyone who does. The electorate could tell, and they wanted something more. [Update quite a bit later] I’m having serious link issues today. Fixed now, sorry. …is sounding both partisan and senile on Fox News Sunday. No one is accusing Clinton of a crime in Benghazi. Her crimes have to do with her handling of email. But that’s no excuse for the Democrats to pretend that there’s nothing there, and run interference for her. This has been policitized, but as always, it’s politicized by Democrats who refuse to hold members of their own party accountable for anything. Won’t face any charges for her crimes. Of course she won’t. They protect their own, as long as they’re loyal. Hillary’s five biggest lies. And the bad news for the Democrats is that she is now really inevitable. My prediction: The FBI will recommend prosecution, Justice will ignore, than a steady drip of leaks from the FBI all the way through election day, and the administration won’t be able to do a damn thing about it. More thoughts on my USA Today piece, over at Ricochet. Matt Ridley: Its benefits could easily exceed its costs. That seems likely to me. A new paper from Mercatus, citing me and the book. In fact, I used the FDA as another example of a risk-averse bureaucracy in the book.Mitt Romney
