All my life I said I wanted to be someone...I can see now that I should have been more specific.

Dean's Religious/Southern Strategy

Matt Hoy has managed to capture rather accurately the problems with Dean's plans to discuss his faith more.

As I've said before, I'm always hesitant to question the genuineness of another person's faith, but the more Dean talks about his, the more questions it raises. Dean's "Southern strategy" to talk about God appears to be disgustingly fake. Dean appears to be what I call a "cultural christian." Someone who checks the "Christian" box on surveys because their parents took them to church on Christmas and Easter, but have little contact with the church or Christians otherwise.

Dean starts out his story with: "If you know much about the Bible — which I do..." and then talk about Job being one of the books of the New Testament?

I'm sorry, but you're a poseur.

I know this performance isn't going to fly in Kentucky, and I'm sure in the South in general, with the people that actually take their faith seriously. First he talks about winning the vote of Southerners who drive pickups with Confederate Flag stickers and then he does this. If he keeps this up and still manages to get the nomination, Bush will win the South in a walk, along with most of the rest of the country.
