By Anthony Esolen, Crisis Magazine - "Ye shall be as gods.” I think of the ads I have been seeing for the governor’s race here in New Hampshire. The Democrat nominee, a woman, has accused the Republican nominee, also a woman, of opposing in vitro fertilization. By no means, cries the Republican nominee. She says it is wonderful, and she knows many women who have profited by it. And I consider to what depths of farce, ineffectuality, and effete sentimentalism American politics has descended.
