Tantrums

These folks remind me of children at a party stamping their little sneakered feet because they got a little strawberry ice cream along with their vanilla. It might be useful for them to look at the polls now and then. Of course, purists will be purists-better be burned as a defender of the true church than uncharred as a heretic.

But I found Douthat's throwaway denominational line even more evocative-to which denomination do you think he might be referring?
