I’ve been saying for years that prayer and profit aren’t complementary. Any really shrewd, de-regulated capitalist does not want religious strictures getting in the way of business, like having to close on the Sabbath, or not sell certain non-religious products. Outlaw condoms? Ban liquor or cigarettes? No porn in hotel rooms? Censor Victoria’s Secret? Stop all gambling?
Now Huckabee is scaring those supply-side Repubs and Arianna Huffington has nailed the quandry quite nicely. The fundamentalist rabble from America’s endless shantytowns and ”mobile home estates” may be about to storm (metaphorically) the country club and guillotine (politicially) all those high living profit-lovers.
