Senator writes of restoring our right to bring religious views back in to public debate

I came across some information on a book co-written by South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint (Republican) and J. David Woodard titled "Why We Whisper: Restoring Our Right to Say It’s Wrong" (link is to Amazon.com). There's an article about the book written by the authors on the First Things website.

I haven't read the book, so I can't specifically recommend it. But I must at least recommend reading the article because it cites some very real examples. The article closes with a prediction of what the future may be like if we don't gain the confidence to speak up for what is right and true based on a historical example of the rise of Hitler's power in Germany.

The title of the book reminds me of a quote:


"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
~Edmund Burke~
