Objecting to Dean

Tom is correct that Dean's theological "howler" was the focus of my post, though I would also object to the implicit assertion he's making about a GOP political theology, as though the Republican Party supports the view that American Jews should not be comfortable, that we are a one-religion nation, etc.  Those are more properly characterized as accusations of theocracy than claims of theology.  (Mainly, I confess, I wanted the chance to revisit "the scream.")
