Not Christian, but Fundie?
This statement by Susan Sanford,
Daily Mountan Eagle, angers me to no end.
"We now have activist judges, mayors, governors, etc., who go against the will of the great majority of citizens in this nation (forget that it is against the law in most of the nation!) and declare that it is the "right" of homosexual men and women to "marry."I'm a Christian. I have strong family values. I am a good citizen. I get teary-eyed when it comes to my patriotism. I choke up each time Senators Byrd or Kennedy speak about our Constitution and equal opportunity for all Americans. I'm firm in my belief system that is inclusive to all men and women. I understand my values may differ from others, and I respect the differences.
As far as I can tell, the Fundies or Neo-cons are just another
special interest group, albeit loud mouthed, well-connected and well-funded. With all their noise and money, they do not speak for me. In fact, I don't believe they speak for the majority of Americans. So I wonder,
what percentage of our population is Fundie? I'd like to know so the next time I hear them tell me they speak for the majority, I can set them straight. Then dismiss them, as Bush* dismissed the peace protesters as a special interest group.
As a matter of fact,
should the POTUS* be a member of a SIG? Seems to me it is counterproductive in his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution. Remember the concern some had over John F. Kennedy's Catholicism, and if he could run this nation without the influence of his personal religious faith?
