The great Justin Raimondo talks about the evil, anti-Chrisitan policies of our Government. He also wonders (well, sarastically wonders) where the outrage is among the so called "Christian Right" who seem to be more and more shills for Government power.
I've noticed this disturbing trend amoungst Christians as well. It's a shame when an ex-Christian like Raimondo has to point out the obvious. Christians--American Christians, anyway--seem to go into a tizzy about, say, abortion because it involves the taking of innocent, human life but are a-ok with with wars that pretty much do the same thing. Isn't this a tad odd?
UPDATE: Gary North has a little good news for Catholics: about the heatlthcare law.
UPDATE II I am not making an argument for abortion in this post. But, as the great Ron Paul points out it's more than a tad self-contradictory to oppose war or abortion but not oppose the other. (And I guess the converse would also be be true.)
UPDATE III Some may not see any clear contradiction between opposing abortion but not war. Here, I submit to you the great Baptist theologian Laurence Vance about just war theory
NOTE: I don't always agree with Vance, since he often takes the most extreme view on foreign policy. But I felt having a theolgoian talk about these issues would be a good idea. For the record, I think some wars are just.
