Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr.
So now our fearless leader has made his choice known. How appropriate this is done on Halloween. Trick or Treat?
What bugs me is the unchallenged lie used by conservatives who say they want judges who "don't legislate from the bench but who apply the law as our Founding Fathers meant it to be."
The lie is that they do want judges who legislate from the bench, but legislate according to their idea of conservitive guidelines.
The other quality of the lie is the mask of Christianity they put on.
This country has never been a Christian country. Doubt me? In God we trust our money says. But God doesn't need money and all other must pay by cash, check or credit card.
Do our prison populations prove we are Christian? Do the high interest rates charged to those who can least afford them proof of a Christian nation? Does trashing God's creation for the almighty dollar prove this is a Christian nation. Perhaps it is our willingness to go to war for just about any reason that is proof of this being a Christian nation.
Funny, but I always thought Christianity was supposed to be about love and forgiveness, feeding the poor, housing the homeless, caring for the sick and providing clothing for those who have but rags against the cold. I didn't think it was about sitting at the front of the church and thanking God for not making us like the scummy sinners Jesus used to hang out with.
