Onward Christian Soldiers

by Karen on September 30, 2007

Evangelical Christians are threatening to run their own third-party candidate if Rudy Giuliani becomes the Republican nominee:

The group making the threat, which came together Saturday in Salt Lake City during a break-away gathering during a meeting of the secretive Council for National Policy, includes Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, who is perhaps the most influential of the group, as well as Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, the direct mail pioneer Richard Viguerie and dozens of other politically-oriented conservative Christians, participants said. Almost everyone present expressed support for a written resolution that ?if the Republican Party nominates a pro-abortion candidate we will consider running a third party candidate.?

I think it’s hilarious and hope they get so fed up with the GOP that they do run their own candidate.  There’s just one question though.

Is there a nutball out there that isn’t on the Republican ticket yet?

Reproductive rights deemed “unsavory” & “controversial”

September 27, 2007

And no, it’s not your local wingnut faction that’s stated such. It’s Verizon – one of the leading cell phone companies. Verizon recently denied it’s customers access to NARAL’s text messaging program because it has a policy that deems abortion to be a “unsavory” and “controversial” subject not fit for it’s customers. It should be [...]

What if the French had moved in?

September 26, 2007

Just a quick hit to point out an excellent post by Alonzo Fyfe of Atheist Ethicist that puts what’s going on in Iraq into perspective: It has been four years since the French had helped the Americans defeat King George III. Since then, living conditions in America have changed considerably. For one thing, the French [...]

Liberal Episcopalians toss gays under bus

September 26, 2007

If there’s one thing that ticks the Christians off lately it is what they consider the “unfair” verbal butt whipping of the alleged “nice” Christians. They often can’t seem to understand why anyone would treat them in the same manner as the explicitly hateful Christians. Well, speaking directly for myself – here’s a pretty damned [...]

September 24, 2007

Here’s a video clip of Bill Maher stating that it’s about time for us “rationalists” to start taking the religious views of politicians into consideration before casting our votes: If candidates make their personal beliefs a part of their campaign, should they not be judged for the nature of those beliefs? I say they should.
