…r “Christendom” During the uproar over the proposed building of the Park51 center in lower Manhattan, Santorum entered the fever swamp of conspiracy theorists by claiming that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf was a jihadist.

…attan Declaration last month, Sider told me, “I think that the evangelical center agrees with what’s being said here.” And, he added, he worked with a group of religious leaders who “pushed hard privately for a truly abortion neutral kind of position in the health care bill.” Although Sider refused to be specific about whether the group lobbied for Stupak in particular, he did strongly hint that he did not consider the Capps amendment (an analog o…
