Where Is Your Outrage

I understand as a Christian that not all of us believe the same things and we definitely don't all practice the same politics. But at our core there should still be some things that bind us together. How the Religious Right can now turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to all of the exhortations of violence against President Obama through the use of a perversion of the Bible is beyond me. I had many many problems with George W. Bush. I wanted and still want him to be investigated and thrown in jail.



I have never and would never say anything that could be construed as advocating violence against him and I wouldn't sit by silently while someone around me did. I can only pray that none of the nutcases out there actually act on these dogwhistles, but if they do make any attempts whether successful or not, those Religious Righters are gonna have to look long and hard in the mirror.



I have a feeling that they won't like what they see...

Very Powerful

The son of one of the founders of the Right To Life movement, Frank Schaeffer appeared on the Rachel Maddow Show tonight and what he said in light of the assasination of Dr. George Tiller was very powerful. He not only took responsibility for his part in stirring up that kind of evil with his hateful rhetoric previously, he also called for others in the RTL movement to come forward and take responsibility as well. I could try to describe what he said but I wouldn't do it justice so instead just check out the video from the show.



The tail end of the segment where he talks about the rage that wingnuts are trying to gin up at President Obama I think is exactly spot on. And I can only hope that the people tasked with protecting him are paying attention and are leaving nothing to chance.

Preach!!!

This is what you call straight talk on the Republican Party by a person who can speak with authority on the subject.
