There is, however, a fine line in this separation of church and state issue with which we have to deal. I do, however, find a difference in what Lieberman is doing and what the Christian Right represents. The Christian Right would like to impose its religious beliefs on all of us. This is a difference with a distinction, but it is unsettling nevertheless. There can be a campaign of regaining that undefinable moral ground without testing the precarious waters of separation of church and state.
Religion is an extremely personal circumstance.
It is not campaign material. In 1960, in answer to inane concerns that he would be a tool of Rome, John Kennedy did his best to separate his Roman Catholicism from his political career. Presently, Joe Lieberman does. It troubles me. Howard Kleinberg, a former editor of the Miami News, is a columnist for Cox Newspapers.
