Article VI

We just received the following email (3x) about a screening of the film Article VI. Go, if you can.

_____

I wanted to invite to you a screening of a wonderful movie tonight! I saw it last night and it's really worth seeing. I know the people who put it on (Hugh Hewitt, among others) and they did an excellent job. It discusses Religion and Politics, mainly the concept of religious tests that is the basis of Article VI of our Constitution. It is an extremely pertinent message with the presidential election right now and the fact we have a Mormon, a Baptist Preacher, a possible Muslim, and a Catholic who can't take confession all running together. Please go see it! If anything, it will open your eyes and mind to a huge social issue that our country faces today.

Living Biography Media and Wiley Rhodes Productions in association with Outside Eyes
invites you to a complimentary V.I.P. screening of the feature-length documentary ARTICLE VI: Faith. Politics. America

ARTICLE VI is an intense discussion of the role of faith in politics and has already generated significant political and media buzz. This is an exciting opportunity to see the film, which will only be released in select cities. You will also have the chance to speak with the filmmakers.

National Review, Our Fav Conservative Mag, Endorses Mitt

Generally, we believe that newspapers should not endorse candidates. Rather, we think they should advocate issues, ideas, and positions. We're not quite sure what to make of it when an outspoken conservative publication endorses a particular candidate.


Drudge called our attention to this development and it appears the Drudge traffic is overloading National Review's servers, so good luck getting at the article here.

Like National Review, we appreciate the totality of Mitt Romney's conservative positions. His current stated positions more closely match ours than any of the other Republican candidates for President. However, we still have reservations about Romney. How sure is his conversion to conservative principles? Was his change of position the result of a change of heart? Or was he just endorsing moderate to liberal positions to get elected in MA? Or, even worse, is he only now adopting conservative ideals to get past the Republican primary?

Point by point, Mitt is our ideal candidate. But if he is not a true conservative believer, we'd rather have a candidate with whom we disagree, but believe is telling the truth.


***Update 11:23PM MST - Transcript of chat between Hugh Hewitt and Rich Lowry, Editor of National Review. This provides great insight into NR's decision making process vis-à-vis their endorsement of Romney.
