Last updated on: June 25, 2012 at 7:55 pm By David French

My continuing series of posts about young evangelicals, post-partisanship, and social justice has drawn some interesting responses — some thoughtful, some not.

However, the biggest issue is not whether this was an intentional double entendree or an accidental gaffe.
