When last we greeted Goldsmith's
prophet at the fair, trading the
of Republican tax reform, we had
no idea he would pop over to Las
Vegas in the same weekend, to en-
joy another neo-Confederate dose
of creative religion. If, in his
country, you may assert religious
freedom to believe anything, you
may call treason a noble cause,
you may call human slavery a bi-
ological obligation, you may call
highway robbery a reform in tax-
ation, and you may call a reck-
less distribution of arsenals a
Constitutional right. It isn't
that religion requires bigotry.
It's that casuistry requires re-
ligion. So again, we play poli-
tics with its mantra, that guns
do not kill, naughty people do -
agreeing with every word of it.
