I want to make that bastard's life a living, breathing, waking nightmare of futility for the next four years. I want to write congressmen, senators, use my online pulpit (for lack of a better term) to expose every dark design he and his PNAC puppetmasters have, help steer the election of 2006 to cut his powerbase out from under him.. in short, I want this second term in office to be his own personal Purgatory.

You want morals?

Feed the hungry.

Clothe the naked.

Visit the sick and the afflicted.

Care for the widows and orphans (aka single parent families).

Visit those in prison.

Love your neighbor.

Where's the morality in letting children go hungry and homeless while the rich get tax breaks?

Pretty radical ideas, those.

I'm sure the Religious Reich wouldn't recognize them. No, they're more concerned with making sure two guys can't get married and call it getting married, not to mention all the fun of bombing the shit out of brown people (thank you, George Carlin). That's a priority to them. Those Leviticus-swilling morons wouldn't recognize compassion if it jumped up and bit them in their SUVs.

EDIT: A hospital has been razed to the ground in one of the heaviest US air raids in the Iraqi city of Falluja.

A FUCKING HOSPITAL!

As a single mom who has been very *extensively* helped by my local church, I take issue with your remarks. I guess it didn't occur to you that a lot of Christians *do* those things, did it.

I could point at the program they run, free, with childcare and meals, for single moms; no preaching, just a honest to goodness life skills kind of program. How to budget, etc...real, useful stuff. Each mom is assigned an "encourager" - another single mom who's been through the class before, and is meant to be a listening ear/ support.

I could give more examples. I don't think you want to hear about that, though. It might challenge your preconceived notions of how you view Christians, and we can't have that, now can we?

Easy does it, there.

I never once said they were all like that, now did I?

By all means, GIVE more examples. I know they're out there and I've been helped on many an occasion, as well. But go ahead and help convince people there's a very large difference between Christian and Religious Reich.
