Explorations

I was quoted in a story on how Buddhists were getting involved in the race for the Presidency on October 28th, just tracked it down today.

In Broomfield, Colo., Charles Martin, an American-Indian Buddhist Republican, said his support for McCain has everything to do with his religious practice.

“I think Buddhism is inherently rather libertarian,” said Martin. “You examine things for yourself and finally save yourself. That leads me in general to not liking a lot of kinds of government intervention.”

“American Indian Buddhist Republican” is, by the way, the world’s smallest demographic. In fact, in that Google search, that one quote from that one story generates the only hits.
