Breakfast Links: Flag-waving, Exceptionalism, Lincoln’s Letter from God 2012-10-23T20:07:34-04:00 Timothy Dalrymple

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

BREAKFAST LINKS:

Karen Spears Zacharias: “Politicians like to wrap themselves in flags.  Servicemen like my father are just buried under them.”

Keith Koffler, White House Dossier: Romney’s Rope-a-Dope

Ezra Klein, Washington Post: The Last Debate in Graphs

Drew Dixon: “Of course we think America is special, we live here and in many ways it is special. But as to whether America is special in the eyes of God, that seems like something we should leave up to God.”

Charles Krauthammer, Real Clear Politics: Romney Won

Alec MacGillis, The New Republic: Obama Reasserts Command

Adam Jeske: “…maybe if we started actively solving real problems, really helping people in hard places (not having a disproportionate amount of “foreign aid” buying bombers for Israel), maybe there would be less war and terror and more true national security.”

Chris Stirewalt, Fox News: Obama Running Out of Time

Edward J. Blum, Paul Harvey, New York Times: Lincoln’s Letter From God

Jason Morehead: “Would “nature rights” even be an issue were Christians laboring to protect nature and help it to flourish — again, not because we believed that the creation had rights in and of itself, but rather, because we believed that doing so was nothing less than an act of worship to the Creator?”

Eric C. Miller*, Religion Dispatches Magazine:* Obama – Pro-Life Hero?

Jeffrey Weiss, Real Clear Religion: Truth…and When Pigs Fly

David French: “The cumulative effect of all the mocking smiles, derisive laughs, and “zinging” one-liners (Horses and bayonets?  Really?) was not so much to stop Mitt Romney’s momentum as it was to obliterate President Obama’s likability advantage.”
