Well, I guess someone had to say it.

Kathleen Parker over at The Washington Post says she’s bathing herself in holy water as she diagoses the problem ailing the GOP: G-O-D.

Money quote: “Simply put: Armband religion is killing the Republican Party. And, the truth-as long as we’re setting ourselves free-is that if one were to eavesdrop on private conversations among the party intelligentsia, one would hear precisely that.”


Parker, you’ll remember, is a thoughtful conservative columnist whose head was nearly lopped off by the GOP establishment when she concluded that Sarah Palin was not only a bad choice for John McCain, but a fatal one. It will be interesting to see if her newest column gets her dropped from the DC holiday party circuit.

OK, one more money quote: “Preaching to the choir produces no converts. And shifting demographics suggest that the Republican Party-and conservatism with it-eventually will die out unless religion is returned to the privacy of one’s heart where it belongs.”
