Theologically and politically, Romney parted ways with LDS views on Islam and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“Good with money”? Really?

Will Romney want to talk about LDS Temples being modeled on Solomon’s?

Liberalism has many strengths. It brought God into the world. It allowed us to value the natural order and value human intellect as a way of thinking theologically. But, liberalism is a philosophy of history as progress and harmony—and that’s untrue to the nature of the Fall. Why I use the term “progressivism” instead is that progressivism is movement-based. Progressives are more communitarian, they’re not as individualistic; they have a far savvier sense that history is struggle, and that the world does not want to be changed.

Forty-four percent say they don’t know what his religion is.

Haidt’s primary point is actually a good one: people on all sides of the political debate ought to listen more carefully, and try harder to understand one another. He correctly identifies a cardinal sin of so many liberals and lefties: failing to give conservatives an honest hearing. But it’s lousy strategy. If you want to win, you’ve got to have the best possible intelligence about what the other side is up to.

But offers no real answers.

How dare they pick the Muslim version of me?

“I have to have the help of a lot of good people.”

Romney’s Hannity talk.
