He's a political operative, period. FeloniousMonk, I'm sick of your constant harrassment. Secondly, I don't care about your stupid RfC. He's not a theologian, and neither are you. This article is nothing but a bigoted, hate-filled polemic. Widely respected by whom, Leftists. This is a highly biased article that doesn't conform to NPOV standards. The only consensus here is a consensus of one, you. I reject the RfC as nothing but harassment.
