for guidance and for some, an outlet for their frustrations that are manifested into such things as Al-Qaeda.

For Asshole Kristol to try to to twist this into a "communist" argument is ridiculous.

People who are desperate cling to that which gives them comfort and to that which gives them answers in an uncertain world. Religion is just one "crutch," out of many, that fills that need.


Maybe that's why insecure people in this country identify themselves with the rightwing republican party.
