Now that the Supreme Court has spoken ...

Congress will have to weigh in on what Bush and Company—led by the MBA President—have been doing in George's name.

They've been avoiding it, spending their time on spending our money to ensure their re-election with tactically (strategically?) placed earmarks. Somehow the Neocon Republicans thought "core values" meant public-purse projects in the home district. (Of course there's nothing new in that! They are—above all else—politicians.)

So now the Neocon Republicans are going to actually have to vote on their interpretation of the meaning our REAL core values, CLEARLY stated in our Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights ... and, oh yes, since so many of them keep calling us a CHRISTian nation, maybe the will get around to reflecting on the Christ's Sermon on the Mount ... Jesus's CLEAR statement of HIS core values.

There is so much divine right of kings (George as God's Chosen leader with unimpeded executive authority) and OLD Testament (Jehovah smiting the heathen, Joshusa killing every living thing in Jericho) rhetoric spewing out of these Neocons that it is hard to believe that they are either American or Christian.

Could it be that they are wolves wearing lambskin? (Good Christians will REALLY appreciate that metaphor.)

Thank you for bringing up Jesus' Sermon On The Mount.

I'm noticing more and more Christian leaders don't seem to be at all in touch with what Christ taught.

Just an observation.
