The Politics of Men, Mingled with Scripture

A couple of the writers over at VSM are sick and tired of all of the political talk over at M* and T&S (not the defined targets, but obviously who they're talking about). Isn't it ironic two less-actives take the orthodoxers to task for sullying Mere Christianity? Or, is it just picking at motes? Even if it is the latter, does that make their point any less valid?
