A "former" (?) conservative lets Dennis Prager have it. She's done with Bush.
You and others who claim to stand for conservative Christians have gone down that terrible road of endorsing deception, violence and fiscal irresponsibility to justify the actions of a president (whom I voted for twice) who is not only out of touch with his country, but close to becoming our first dictator.

Now the drumbeats are calling for us to "take care of" Iran next. Hitler had his scapegoat in the Jews and Bush has his in the Muslims. And my fellow Christians are happily following him down a terrible path laced with lies, torture, violence and genocide. After it is all over and the dust has cleared, what will we do when they tell the world that the Christians are now the enemy? Haven't we learned anything from history? When we condemn and entire group of people for the actions of a few, we are no better than those who have turned away from God.

You and the others who support the evolution of our political process into essentially a one-party system are guilty of contributing to the destruction of our beloved republic. I am so sorry that you of all people bought into this madness. I really used to enjoy reading WND, but now I've deleted it from my database because you have become like the rest of the people who claim to follow Jesus: You lust for war, violence, torture and injustice. You will say anything to justify these things, which you know go against the teachings of Jesus. Which Jesus supports these things? Not the Jesus I follow, and I have been a Bible-believing traditional conservative Christian for 24 years. Go ahead and rationalize it all you want. We all have to answer to God for our actions, and I will no longer stand with my fellow Christians and endorse this insanity because after four years, I have come to the conclusion that we were deceived right from the start."

Amen. Welcome home, Sister.

4. She seems to be confused, though.
Isn't Dennis Prager Jewish?

5. Yeah right, then in 4 years after a democrat gets into the white house
she will back another smooth talking republican that plays into her racist, anti gay, anti woman pro religious belief system. We all seen them do this time after time since Nixon resigned. GW is just the end result of republican power grabs beginning with Herbert.

7. I agree....BUT if Bush et al keeps this up for another year they might be screaming like we are
and either not vote or vote for us.

I doubt it...but this woman is done.

12. That's already implied in this statement:
"When we condemn and entire group of people for the actions of a few, we are no better than those who have turned away from God."

She'll happily follow in line behind a less obviously flawed "leader".

9. Welcome home sister
I ain't mad at her....if she's still attending a fundamentalist church, she'll literally be shunned for having those beliefs. Persona non grata.

So I welcome her (as a fellow Christian) with open arms.
