Who will stand up and say it? [View All]

[charlyvi]

Just finished watching Bill Mahr; Cornel West, Alec Baldwin and Whoopi Goldberg were on the panel tonight. Baldwin said something to the effect that those in power now have their lips super glued to the Christian right's ass; Whoopi said that she's mad--the Democrats don't have one ball between them; Dr. West (a religious man) said that the Bible is about justice and mercy, not greed and power. Everyone vehemently agreed that what is needed is SOMEONE to finally stand up and state the obvious--the Christian right has hijacked the politics in this country, morals and values are NOT what they are about. (I'm paraphrasing) Greed and power are not what the Bible is about. But WHO do we have that will stand up and say this? Who has the balls to point out that just because you say you're a Christian, it doesn't mean you actually are one. You don't have the right to ignore the rule of law, force everyone to live as you want, demonize any opinion other than you're own, subvert this country's history and constitution to pad your bank account, and corrupt the name of Jesus to the point that truly just and ethical people become uncomfortable saying His name.

Okay, so this has spun into a partial rant, but the question is still valid:

WHO IS GOING TO FINALLY HAVE BALLS ENOUGH TO POINT THIS SHIT OUT TO THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!! OUT LOUD AND WITH CONVICTION!!!

I'm a super pissed Charlyvi :mad:
