“People don’t get happiness simply by wanting it. Waiting or it

doesn’t guarantee it. Hoping or it won’t produce it. We have to

know what it is beore we’ll ever know i we have it or not. . . .

Happiness is an acquired taste. It comes rom being steeped in

the truths o lie long enough to have learned not only how to

survive them but how to get beyond the cosmetics o them to

drink rom the root o them. It is a many-splendored thing.”

“The star power o Rick Warren and Sarah Palin, along with

disparity between evangelicalism and conservatism. To be

sure, many evangelicals in the pews continue to vote consis-

tently or the Republican Party, but their reasons or doing so

are morally thick and politically thin. . . . Whether like Palin,

who tried to align her convictions with McCain’s platorm, or

Warren, who tried to nd a via media between Obama and

McCain, evangelicals do not think or act like conservatives.”

Key selling points
