For most of my entire adult life I always got the impression that liberals and the mainstream media hated religion and anything remotely religious. All that hysterical whining and arguments about separation of Church and State, banning prayer in schools, removing of the Ten Commandments from inside court buildings, crying foul over public displays of nativity scenes, opposition of the Christmas season, bashing of traditional Christian family values, opposing evangelicals in politics, etc., etc., etc.

We stand for something – I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God. He’s-
MATTHEWS: Yeah.
I'm quite sure that this revelation not only caused another thrill to run up Chris Matthews leg, but it probably caused a warm sensation to also run down it.
