I've always loved that hero of the religious right (Catholic and Protestant), Alan Keyes. If you're not paying attention, he seems to make sense. But if you listen, let alone read a transcript, he's hilarious. Here he is the other night, from a senatorial debate with Barak Obama:
Without faith there is just a faith-shaped void where the conscience ought to be. And I challenge all the voters of this state who profess to believe in Christ: How can you vote from such a faith-shaped void? Without the Lord, your vote will not be based upon that faith which ought to shape your life. And for anyone to suggest that you leave it behind at the door of the voting booth or public service suggests something utterly incompatible with what the Lord ourself — himself rather— told us about the meaning of our faith.
