You Never Forget Your First Time

"It is clear then both the best partnership in a state is the one which operates through the middle people, and also that those states in which the middle element is large, and stronger if possible than the other two together, or at any rate stronger than either of them alone, have every chance of having a well-run constitution." --Aristotle

Never had much regard for Falwell, or for that matter, his nemesis of Hustler fame, Flynt. It is worthy of note that after the supreme court landmark case (oops, I didn't capitalize supreme) these two strange bedfellows of politics became chums.
Still they remained, each one, at his end of the idiot spectrum. Falwell was however at least as good a thinker and speaker as William Jennings Bryan.
Although Falwell did not believe in evolution and took the Bible to be the literal and unalterable word of God, he had been heard to say the Religious Right had evolved. Go figure.
Who says two wrongs can't make a right?
