John J. DiIulio Jr. might be a liberal darling for his "Mayberry Machiavellis" comment, but he still is not quite our friend. See his criticism of the recent
NYT piece on religious accomodations run amuck
here. Some balance is useful, but his use of "antireligion state constitutional provisions" as a stand-in for barriers to state funding of religious groups annoys. Don't want your tax dollars to fund teaching Islam? Anti-religious! How dare you only go to mass ... if you don't support all religions equally, it is anti-religious! What tripe.
