Senator Graham: Suck It
by: Rev. Dan“People of faith want a candidate who can beat radical Islam.”
- US Senator Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), campaigning for John McCain
Speak for yourself, Senator. As a person of faith, I want a president who engages in diplomacy and dialogue before launching preemptive wars. I want a president who knows that our national security depends on the health of our planet and therefore puts climate change at the top of any international agenda. I want a president who cares that tens of thousands of children die each month from hunger…in dark places that are breeding grounds for those who would use violence to promote their goals. I want a president who won’t compromise our moral values in the name of war. Senator, I want a president who will work to reconcile Christians, Muslims and Jews the world over. Like the Vatican and the World Council of Churches, I want a president who will end this war and bring our troops home.
- From the blog of Rev. Chuck Currie, United Church of Christ
I completely agree with a Christian… and if more Christians were like this guy, well… it’d be a hell of a lot easier to get along with ‘em.
Thanks for the nice words.
It’s not surprising this guy is from the UCC. They (we, actually, since I’m a member of a UCC church) seem to have to right point of view for a lot of these things.
From what I’ve seen, I’d have to agree with ya Chris. I like the cut of your jib too… and I appreciate the fact that you’re pretty consistent in listening to my jabber without getting worked up. :)
