From Common Dreams: The Evangelical Rebellion

The rise of Mike Huckabee as a presidential candidate represents a seismic shift in the tactics, ideology and direction of the radical Christian right.

I read "The Evangelical Rebellion" from Common Dreams. I would be very interested in reading an objective analysis of this subject, but by the time I got to "George Bush is a happy stooge", I realized the lack of objectivity in this article.
I suppose some people read this article and believe it to be an objective article. But for me, I would also prefer to see what the other side thinks about the Huckabee influence, from their point of view.
I consider myself to be in the political center as your describe in your book "Neither Liberal or Conservative Be". The problem, however, is that when I read something that is, to me, as biased, slanted and unobjective as this article is, it is hard for me to imagine myself under the same umbrella. In other words, to me, this article is very polarizing, not for what is said, but how it is said.

Jim,
I appreciate your comment.
The article referenced definitely has a point of view. Most do.
I'll try to find one that expresses the other side's point of view. You may also want to look yourself either by using a search engine or using the list of web sites I have on the side. I'd be happy to look at any recommendations you have and consider posting them here.
