My posts are edited, when they appear at all. This is soooo Bush administration of you. Withhold information when it doesn’t suit your fancy.

This is my last post. Good-bye all. Enjoy saying whatever the moderator lets you say. (Geez, it’s like Communist Russia.)

And by all means [ominous music plays in background], stop the ACLU…or else!

Man, I love good sarcasm, and that was good.

Merry Christmas to you, or Happy Holidays — whichever — take your pick.

My goodness, people, can’t you see all the lies in the Meyerson article? It is as plain a the nose on your face. He lies about Jesus.

First, and most obviously, Jesus repeatedly encourages his followers to torture their enemies. Nothing could be more Christian.

Second, Jesus insisted that his message could only be spread by wars of aggression.

And third, Jesus hated foreigners. He says it over and over.

This is what WTH means about lies. Meyerson is so eager to cast the Administration as Unchristian that he constantly distorts Christ’s message of World Domination and the supremacey of the Global Market.

You all desperately need a course in reading comprehension. The article said nothing derogatory about the Christian faith, just the repub distortions of it.

For those who point out that the KKK was Democrats (actually, better described as Dixiecrats), keep in mind that the modern day Repub party was formed by embracing the southern bigots as their base. The Democrats are happy to let you have them.

You know, Bluesman, if your initial comment had been censored, don’t you imagine your follow-up asking about it would have been, too?

Talk about wrong-heading thinking.

Funny, I thought I left a nasty little post a while ago and it’s not here now. Is this discussion group censored?

Well…bluesman, you’re not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?

The government censors; I moderate. No profanity on this site.

When we have the marriage of FAITH and POLITICs such as we do with the Christian Right, the inevitable result is a loss of faith in both camps. Political expediency undermines whatever morality the faith based community brings to the table, while the limitation of religiously acceptable policy hamstrings our ability as a society to solve looming existential challenges ie. energy, health care & foreign policy.

Wasn’t it JC himself who counseled us to “render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar’s and render unto the Lord that which is the Lord’s” ? The meaning of which is clear, keep church and state separate !

I am interested in what inaccuracies Defector picked up on. I went back and re-read the article (twice) and didn’t catch it. Please elucidate.
Also, please JM, can you give a short tutorial about the “advanced, sophisticated and subtle” relationship you purport in your comment. I am WELL above 17 and am clueless as to what you are alluding to.
