By your standards, probably not.

I think my standards are far more Christian than most of the
Christians I observe in public life.

How about those fine Christians in congress who were refusing to stand
with the poor schmucks who ran to ground zero to help and ended up
sacraficing their own health and in many cases, lives.

A good percentage of those folks who rushed to help are likely
conservative and Christian. Left in the cold by Christians in
congress who'd deny them support but use Christmas as a bludgeon to
prevent the country from addressing 911, the Start Treaty and whatever
else didn't put money in the pockets of the wealthy.

Look up the dressing down that Shep Smith did on the Republican
congress at Fox News. Finally calling a spade a spade.

Immigrants who sneak over the border for a better life are now
considered leaches when most work harder and longer hours than the
lazy Americans they replace.


Gosh...did I miss an opportunity to see a bit of reality on Scotty
Ingersoll's news "source" network? Scotty is the one who says you can
lead a selfish life and just before you die, find jesus.

The first bit Shep Smith did with Chris Wallace and, although Smith
said, addressing those in congress holding up the 911 bill, "how do
you sleep at night," neither he nor Wallace ever referred to the
Republicans as the guilty party.

They characterized it in a way that anyone could have assumed it was a
collection of both parties. Of course, if it were the Dems, you know
that Fox News would have been all over it, spitting fire.

Subsequently, Shep came out and did do a piece that detailed how the
Republicans in congress were holding up the bill in order to "deal
with the more important issue of the tax cuts" before they'd agree to
a vote on the 911 bill.

Frankly, without Jon Stewart and Shep Smith doing some expose on this
bunch of skanks in congress (that happily use Christmas as a
bludgeoning tool), the 911 bill might never have been addressed.

Fox News has one journalist with at least one ball.

He'd better be careful though, Snotty's army could take this
dereliction of duty very seriously and maybe put a cap in his ass.
