I Agree With A Republican?

OK, folks, mark it down. I said it. I believe it. I might even say it more often if more Republicans were like John Danforth.

A profile of him in yesterday's Washington Post, carries the following paragraph:
As a mainline Episcopal priest, retired U.S. senator and diplomat, Danforth worships a humbler God and considers the right's certainty a sin. Legislating against gay marriage, for instance? "It's just cussedness." As he sees it, many Republican leaders have lost their bearings and, if they don't change, will lose their grip on power. Not to mention make the United States a meaner place.
Alleluia, brother. You're on to something. Let's pray that others begin to see the light.
