And my Lutheran beliefs aren’t any less forgiving of these unfair aspersions. Though the quote is apocryphal, Luther himself is alleged to have said it is better to be ruled by a wise Turk than a foolish Christian. It’s high time that people stop asking how worthy Romney’s religion is and start evaluating the former Massachusetts governor on the political merits. Given Romney’s performance in the debate Thursday night, they might like what they find.</blockquote> Ex-Mormon Lutheran, Mark Hemingway, put the lunacy of both Robert Novak and Chris Matthews over at National Review:
