A Christian Nation
George Bush often touts the idea of America as a Christian nation. He stresses his faith and support of faith based socail change. Maybe he should actually pay attention to what his fellow christians have to say.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The president and co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference called on President Bush to get U.S. troops out of Iraq and U.S. money into New Orleans to repair damages from Hurricane Katrina.
“We find funds for Halliburton to make millions fixing Baghdad. But we have not yet found the resources to fix the levees on the Mississippi River,” Joseph E. Lowery said Wednesday at a New Orleans news conference.
Promises were made on Jackson Square. The typical unfulfilled promises of a politician. Unfortunately these promises mean our survival, and were an order of magnitude beyond your usual election season offerings.
My advise to “The Decider,” is to adhere to the tenets of the faith he supposedly espouses. To remember the precepts of Yeshua Ben Joseph and treat others with love and care, rather than sowing dischord and watering it with blood to yeild the bitter crop we in New Orleans are harvesting.
Bush :: New Orleans
Nero :: Rome

I believe the correct notation is
Bush : New Orleans :: Nero : Rome

So glad to see you blog this. I meant to but didn’t get to it. My philosophy: going to church doesn’t make you a Christian. That old adage watch what I do not what I say is so true.
Happy Mardi Gras!
Lets throw him to the lions in what was Congo Square on a Sunday after Mardi Gras.
Makes me darned glad I’m not Christian…
Thanks for pointing this out. More than once I’ve gotten into arguments on right-wing blogs about what the federal government should be doing in Louisiana. More than once I’ve used the insult, “That’s quite Christian of you.” They really don’t care what happens here as long as they don’t have to pay for it.
I realized long ago that there are very, very few TRUE Christians around. There are a lot of people who like to hang with the clique, want to wrap themselves in the cloak of religiosity, want to claim validation for their craven lives, but they are nothing like the role model they claim to follow.
Peace,
