On #Pompeo's religious freedom meeting this week, he mixes church w/state: "I am an Evangelical Christian. My faith informs my behavior." state.gov/secretary-of-s… @EWTN @RaymondArroyo

A back to the future moment in Washington. Division was the default setting in 1969, as it has always been in America. Back then, though, there was still a sense of Cold War patriotic bipartisanship absent today. US politics has made a quantum leap since.
