Trouble in Religious Right paradise?

One of the Christian Right's key ecumenical partners, and one of the most important parts of the current Republican coalition, is starting to make noises that they don't like Bush's foreign policy: Rev. Moon's New Line Conflicts with Hard-Line Editor in Chief of the Washington Times Seoul Times 10/18/05.

It's a sign of the times when even the people who bankroll Washington's leading conservative newspaper are said to be uneasy with Bush administration foreign policy. But in that heretical spirit, a revolt is reportedly brewing at the Unification Church, which owns the Washington Times and is pushing for changes at the paper.

Insiders say the church's new line is that with the end of the Cold War, it's important to support international organizations such as the United Nations and to campaign for world peace and interfaith understanding. That stance would be awkward for the Times's hard-line editor in chief, Wesley Pruden, and its stable of neoconservative columnists.

But if the Moonie Times goes over to the antiwar side, where will we go to get the daily Party line?

Oh, yeah, there's still FOX News.
