Wow. That's the most rational article by Mr. Sobran that I've read in years.

When will the church put its foot down on this nonsense of Kerry?

The swift boats pressed him about vietnam the media defended him. The Catholic Church has taken him to task and again the Anti-Catholic media defended him, do we see a pattern here, Yet they say bush lost the debate stop.

I'm much more comfortable with a candidate who keeps his personal beliefs out of his decisions as someone in public office. America is not a theocracy. Bush and his 'pipeline to God' disgust me.

Conservative Christianity (at least the kind that's in the White House) is a faith motivated by fear and it will NEVER take over this country.

Your anti-Christian bigotry and hatred is well represented in the modern Democratic party.

I thought Bush was evil because he was a middle aged whited male. Who knew, you troll.

Do you expect any office holder to simply go on what the polls say vs his conscious? I'll take a man with faith any day.

Its impossible to separate personal beliefs and decisions. Personal beliefs are the underpinning for values and morals.

I'm perfectly comfprtable with Mr. Bush's belief system. Nobody knows what Kerry believes, including Kerry.

That's a profoundly ignorant thing to say; I really have difficulty believing that you're not a troll with a flamethrower re: this thread. Have some sense.

So, in your estimation, how exactly is someone to make decisions in public office? Should a Senator or Representative, take a constituent poll every time they make a vote?

No! An elected official should vote their personal beliefs on the matter. If someone believes abortion is wrong, then vote against it, if they believe it's okay, then they should vote for it.

I am a Conservative Christian. Yet, I would take an atheist who voted by their personal beliefs, over someone like Kerry, who claims Christianity, yet holds none of the beliefs of Christianity (or at least you can't see their supposed beliefs in how they vote).

I really doubt there are any wolves dressed in sheep's clothing in the churches. If they want in the church why would they dress up like sheep?

Kerry is a Catholic in Name Only (CINO) and no Catholic should be voting for him because of his stance on abortion!

Catechism of the Catholic Church on abortion

George W. Bush is a born-again Christian; john faux kerry is a hollywood christian.

Furthermore, Christians have no fear. Our faith is motivated by gratitude to God for life, as He is the author of life. What is there to be afraid of? You say it will never take over, but consider that currently over one BILLION people on this planet are Catholic. Several million others are professed Christians. I'd say it already has. It is the hate and fear mongerers that will never succeed, because God is not on their side.

Whether you believe in God yourself or not is your free will only because God arranged it that way. I assure you will meet him someday. I hope that meeting bodes well for you. I hope it bodes well for us all.

Peace be with you.

But Kerry and his defenders insisted that he was a Catholic in good standing,...? Kerry and his defenders insisted that all of his medals were earned, Kerry and his defenders insisted that the swift boat vets were lying, Kerry and his defenders insisted that Bush made all the wrong choices by going into Iraq, Kerry and his defenders insisted that he WAS in Cambodia, Christmas of 1968, Kerry and his defenders insisted, Kerry and his defenders, Kerry and his defenders blah, blah, blah....we`ve heard it all before. Why does Kerry NEED defenders? Can`t he defend himself?

That is one scary looking troll, looks like he could be from one of the Night Gallery episodes. I could put him in my garden to keep away the possum that keeps trying to eat the cat food.
