Quote of the Week: Prof. Jeffrey Stout
FP has been reading Princeton Prof. Jeffrey Stout's wonderful 2004
book, Democracy and Tradition, which we highly recommend. The book
explores a number of key issues in the debate about the role of
religion in U.S. politics. But it also answers a question that has
long troubled me: why do many conservative Christians ignore American
policies that run counter to real Biblical values and instead concern
themselves with nonseense like the phony war on Christmas?
Jeffrey Stout answers our question with one of his own in our quote of
the week:
"The Republican party and the Fox News Network tell American
Christians on a daily basis that they are a beleaguered minority in an
evil, liberal order. Why confront the fact of being a majority
