Leonard Wieseltier, literary editor of The New Republic, explains why he doesn’t read blogs — and consequently explains why I don’t enjoy reading Leonard Wieseltier.

Ye cannot serve God and Mammon. Persecuted hegemons. The Lunachicks! “But if you’re not doing anything wrong, what are you worried about?” New Jersey dodges a bullet. Personal testimonies in Grand Rapids. The Pledge of Allegiance is creepy.

You may approach the bench. Evangelism is hospitality. “Sousveillance” and school lunch. Stupid questions. An unjust law. Wolf Blitzer’s teachable moment. Taking God’s name in vain.

Tony Perkins opposes gender integration and women’s empowerment. He opposes protecting the rights of women and he opposes women having any right to reproductive health care. He claims that he opposes all of these things based on his opposition to abortion, but that train won’t get him there. He got there all on his own. Concern for the rights of the unborn had nothing to do with it.
