George W. Bush & Karl Rove Are Right

David Kuo, the former deputy director of the White House office of faith-based initiatives, maintains in his new book, Tempting Faith, that Bush and those around him regularly mock and make fun of Christians, especially Evangelicals. For example, he quotes Karl Rove as saying Evangelicals are "nuts." It was quite common, according to Kuo, for Bush and those around him to look upon Christians as useful idiots. End

Neoconservatives have a long history of allegedly mocking Christians. It was, after all, the pro-Israel lobby that coined the term "useful idiots" - their term to describe pro-Israel Christians. Christians, they maintain, are good for money, votes and soldiers - but that's about it.

"If you must debate a Christian idiot, take a good book, low expectations, food, and something to drink." - Moshe Dayan
