This display of double standards is amusing but nothing new.
Most liberals who claim to favor a high wall between church and
state are perfectly comfortable with liberal religion. It's just
conservative religion they don't like. When religion can be used to
justify wealth redistribution, environmental regulations, or just
being non-judgmental it is a-okay. And Rev. Pat Robertson
running for president is scarier than Rev. Jesse Jackson
doing the same.
Growing up in Boston, you would sometimes see the same liberals
praising the moral authority of the Catholic Church when it opposed
the death penalty or a welfare reform bill, and then condemn the
theocratic implications of the Catholic Church opposing abortion or
same-sex marriage.
