THAT'S ALL IT'S EVER DONE:
John Kasich: NATO could play a role in transmitting Judeo-Christian values (JTA, April 13, 2016)Kasich was referring - unprompted by his interviewers - to controversy he stirred last year when he proposed a U.S. Department of Judeo-Christian values that would promote Western ideas in the same way that U.S. State Department bodies have in the past promoted U.S. culture and values.
"I mean, this is a battle between the civilized world and barbarians at the gate," he told the Daily News, which is publishing a series of interviews with presidential candidates ahead of next week's primaries in New York state. "I mentioned something ... You guys probably mocked me for it. You guys said, 'Well, he wants to create, what do you call it, a 'Jesus bureau' or whatever. I said, our Judeo-Christian values are ones of respect for women, equality for women, right to protest, civilization, all this other stuff, and that we need to engage the whole world in this."
