"Nobody talks more of free enterprise and competition and of the best man winning than the man who inherited his father's store or farm." --C. Wright Mills, 1951
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?
