It's Finally Over

Or at least <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Wallis">Jim Wallis</a> of <a href="http://www.sojo.net/">Sojourners magazine</a> says so. He was interviewed by Jon Stewart on <a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/">The Daily Show</a> the other day and declared that...

"The dominance of the religious right over our politics is finally finished".

He was also plugging his new book, <a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9780060558291-0">The Great Awakening</a>, but that was the takeaway quote. I really really hope it turns out to be true.

I am ashamed to admit that I don't watch The Daily Show every evening. I wish I could but Una and I chose not to have cable - it's expensive and we hardly ever watch TV since the internet is so much more interesting. So I heard about this from <a href="http://revolutioninjesusland.com/index.php/2008/01/23/its-official-jim-wallis-said-it-on-jon-stewart/">Revolution in Jesusland</a>, an great blog by a liberal guy who writes about a great awakening among religious conservatives that will hopefully bring some fresh change to our culture and politics.
