If I could remember where, I’d sound a lot better informed, but I’m fairly certain that WFB – somewhere — says much the same thing as Mark Steyn. I’m fairly sure I’ve seen him in different places say that respect for religion and/or respect for the transcendent are core values in conservatism. But I think he might have been writing this in response to Rand, which means an extreme example had prompted him to say such things. Anyway, I’m now in Seattle, which is closer to my books in DC than Fairbanks is. But still, not nearly so close as to make it possible for me to check.
