There is a difference between how Harvard treats Jews than how Harvard
treats Evangelicals because at least there is a real debate. While Walt
finds a Jewish conspiracy at AIPAC, arch-liberal Harvard law professor Alan
Dershowitz does not.

As a side note did anyone see the History Channel's special on the Ten
Commandments? I found Dershowitz' exegesis -- that's right exegesis -- quite
compelling, particular on the prohibition for murder.
Having complained about Harvard there are signs that the liberal
establishment is starting to get it. First of all there was the poll I
mentioned ealier. This last Sunday the New York Times showed that the term
Evangelical is not synonomous with the Religious Right.

In the piece the centrist faction as best represented by Rick Warren and the
NAE leadership was described as roughly the same size as the traditionalist
faction. The major difference between the factions was not theology but
rather the centrists are not beholden to the Religious Right. The piece also
illustrates some future challenges for Evangelicals with responding to
postmodernism, viz. the so-called emerging church. I don't think anyone
including the proponents of the emerging church know what to do here.
