I'm not troubled by the retirement of John Paul Stevens but I'm struck by the fact that with his departure from the Supreme Court the nation will suddenly be without a single protestant justice. Whatever happened to protestantism in the public square? The Supreme Court is populated by six Roman Catholics and two professing Judaism. The Speaker of the House is a Roman Catholic as is the House's minority leader. The Vice President is a Roman Catholic. The Senate Majority leader is a mormon. Of course our president is a protestant but a maddeningly amorphous one. There are fewer and fewer protestant conservative voices as well. Newt Gingrich, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham - all Roman Catholic (that's just to name a few). Mitt Romney and Glenn Beck are Mormons. It's no wonder the public discourse is lacking simplicity and clarity of thought - I don't have much confidence in the thinking of people who make a labyrinth of liberty.

Ron Paul is a protestant :)
As is Huckabee. I sympathize with your objections to him but he does exemplify in his rhetoric and policy the evangelical simplicity that you extol.
It is not one's religious affiliation that brings justice ... it is how much one is bribed.
No - I am just kidding. I think justice and truth comes from the Lord. People with power are often tempted by corruption, although some yield to this temptation more compared with others.
Wonderful post, really great tips and advice.

You do have so many bad things to complain about. I recommend to look at everything in more positive way,
