Kieran's Letter of the Month

I rarely read The Rake because I get sick of the pinko rags that are
many of the independent magazines in the Twin Cities. But my co-worker
wanted me to read the article on god and politics [“Church and State,”
June]. He’s a left-winger and I’m a die-hard Republican. I didn’t think
it was going to be too pretty, because I assumed it was going to be
another Christian-conservative bash fest. I want to commend writer Adam
Minter for putting forward a really balanced and decent article. I
didn’t get irate as I had expected and was pleased with how he
portrayed Christian conservatives. We need more balanced writers like
Minter around—maybe at the Star Tribune. Needless to say, I might start
picking up The Rake more often. Thanks!
