Soros Evangelical Russell Moore, president of something called the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, hasn’t done much for religious liberty, but he’s recently done quite a bit to push the Flu Manchu panic, not obviously a religious issue although it is certainly a fashionable Ruling Class cause. He’s all in for masking and myriad experimental vaccines, and adds this touch to get white conservative Christians on his side: He calls the jab and wearing a mask a “pro-life issue” [

big mac freak. jim, how you doing, man? doing well. how are you? we ve been talking about mitt romney, tough week. first critiques over his campaign from people in his own party, from conservatives, and then this yesterday, the back-and-forth over the situation in libya. how bad is the damage here if there is some? it s been a terrible week, arguably the worst as a candidate certainly as a general election candidate. a lot of people on the right are saying he s getting a raw deal. a lot of people in the romney campaign feel like the media is out to get him. but what s different about this week is it s not the media, it s republicans day in and day out going on the record to openly critique him. think about monday. monday was the wall street journal, the weekly standard, trent lott, many many republican voices saying he doesn t have an agenda. tuesday, rush limbaugh, sean hannity, laura ingram saying if he can t win in this election, republicans should disband as a party.

romney was right, let s give him the benefit of the doubt. his reaction was appropriate and that politically it will play well. look at the backlash that s coming from republicans, not just democrats, republicans on capitol hill who think he did the wrong thing. peggy noonan, you just showed a clip from her, peter king. there s been a lot of people who have come out that said he shouldn t have said what he did and how he said it. you have three straight days of republican critiquing him which speaks very fundamentally to the issue that he has, is that republicans don t like him that much. so they re ready to pounce on him the minute that he doesn t do what they think he should do to beat barack obama. jim, does the romney campaign feel like this is just beltway banter from some members of congress but also from pundits, or do they feel like they have a real problem here this week? i think they re clear-eyed that they have a real issue here and that they re at a point not a tippin
