Okay, the other day I asked if anyone on the &#8220;pro-family&#8221; social Right would apply those principles to the whole Rifqa Bary sitch.  I am pleased that, in fact, someone has.  Better yet is this line: &#8220;Please recognize that the Lord is not so powerless as to need people to hide information, to embellish facts, or to give false witness in order to advance Christ&#8217;s kingdom.&#8221;  And this not from some squishy Lefty Christian (like, some would say, moi), but someone with solid evangelical credentials.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unscrewingtheinscrutable.com\/blogs\/jim-downey\/you-gotta-admit-man-had-style\">You gotta admit, the man had style.<\/a> &#8211; Very cool.
