- Wonderful insight into our president's "morals"! Would he just go away?
dyankee23 rated 25 months ago- The punch line: "Maybe immoral isn't the appropriate word. "Downright evil is a better description." Thank you and good night.

- From the page: "How can people who claim to be voting on religious and moral values vote for a man who . . ." The left claimed the base that supported the Bush reelection, lovingly referred to as "jesusland", was due to moral or religious reasons. It was simply an electoral college win. Whether they are religious is not relevant. The left needs to spread out through America and not conglomerate in places like New England, California, New York, etc, or you will simply lose the electoral vote. I know you love to surround yourself with like minded people so you can feel like you matter and wish that elections were only decided by folks in NYC, Chicago, LA, Boston (you popular vote cry), but you don't speak for everyone. Write that on your wall.

- The writing's on the wall, it's been there for some time. If we don't do anything and help make a CHANGE, then we have only ourselves to blame.

- From the page: "Bush administration's moral compass is lost"
- voyyaghar rated 34 months ago
From the page: "Mired in political corruption of one variety or another, hamstrung (economically and spiritually) by an unjust war, and publicly shamed by the most despicable display of institutionalized racism since the slave era, as demonstrated in the unforgivably inept early response to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, the Bush administration has lost whatever moral voice it might have had.
And this week, as Republican leaders try to force a monstrous $50 billion budget cut designed allegedly to offset the mounting costs (currently in excess of $62 billion) of hurricane-related aid through Congress, it is clear that its moral compass also has been lost.
The proposed budget cuts, part of the so-called "budget reconciliation," would have devastating effects on the poorest, most vulnerable Americans, while allowing tax relief for the rich."
From the page: "The massive budget reductions would include billions of dollars from pension protection and student loan programs, Medicaid and child support enforcement, as well as millions from the food stamp program, Supplemental Security Income (read: senior citizens and the disabled) and foster care."
From the page: "Maybe Republican leaders should consider proposing an open season on the homeless or the resurrection of debtors' prisons while they're at it?
Is this the kind of leadership the majority of voters who, according to pollsters at the time, cast their ballots in 2004 based on "moral values," had in mind?
Is this what faith-based "compassionate conservatism" looks like? Is our nation more moral, more secure or spiritually healthier than it was a year ago?
And, to address my fellow Christian voters specifically, has the Good News been advanced in any way?
No. Absolutely not.
And it's not just a few left-leaning, ink-stained wretches such as myself who think so."
From the page: "For example, all 65 synod bishops of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America have signed a letter to members of Congress vehemently opposing the proposed budget cuts, saying in part, "The Biblical record is clear. The scriptural witness on which our faith tradition stands speaks dramatically to God's concern for and solidarity with the poor and oppressed communities while speaking firmly in opposition to governments whose policies place narrow economic interests driven by greed above the common good."
Evangelical Christian theologian and leader Jim Wallis, founder of Sojourners, a national network of "progressive Christian" peace-and-justice activists, led an ecumenical gathering of religious leaders in a protest at the Capitol building Thursday, calling the proposed cuts "a moral travesty.""
From the page: "The immorality (by any religious tradition's measure) of the proposed $50 billion budget reconciliation package is brazen.
If enacted, it would prove only to increase the suffering of the already-struggling poor, including tens of thousands who lost everything along the Gulf Coast.
Maybe immoral isn't the appropriate word.
Downright evil is a better description."
