A Few Facts Christians Don't Want To Know

• Chicago Cardinal Francis George, newly elected  president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops was dubbed  "Francis the Corrector." by disgruntled priests.
•  George waited months to remove an accused parish priest in Chicago, the Rev. Daniel McCormack, who was criminally charged last year and pleaded guilty to sexually abusing five boys ages 8 to 12.
  
• George has acknowledged that he failed to act soon enough in McCormack's case.
  
•  Pope John Paul II, who died in 2005, vehemently opposed the military strike, 
  
• Pope Benedict XVI has condemned the "continual slaughter" in the country.
  
• Bishop William Skylstad (whom I despise for other reasons) told American lawmakers of both major parties that they have a moral duty to clean up the chaos that has followed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
• Skylstad said that some policy makers have failed to recognize American failures in the invasion and occupation,
  
• other U.S. lawmakers haven't acknowledged "the potential human consequences of very rapid withdrawal.
• "called current conditions in the country "unacceptable and unsustainable" for Iraqis and U.S. military personnel,
  
• called for a "responsible transition" out of the country."Our country needs a new direction to reduce the wars deadly toll

You see some know this, some don't, some refuse to acknowledge this, most are content to sweep it under the rug and or deny it or diminish the extent of it.  What does this all mean? Unfortunately thats simple. Most christian conservatives ( i refuse to call em the christian "right"), who "say" they embrace a "culture of life",  will continue to vote on one criteria and one only. They will continue to vote for whomever opposes abortion. A noble cause perhaps but to use abortion as your sole or main criteria, while ignoring the fact that millions of real, born, walking, talking, living in the real world people, are dying worldwide is just wrong. Wrong on all levels, morally and intellectually; but hey that the religious conservatives for you. Always living in a make believe fantasy world.
  There ought to be some kind of test before allowing people to vote. I dont know how or what, maybe like do you believe in the easter bunny? or  perhaps show them an a fertile egg and and bird and ask which is a bird?????? seriously i once told an anti abortionist if he truly felt that there was no difference between a fertile egg & a personn, the next time you go to buy a dozen eggs try asking for a dozen "pre-born" chickens and see what happens.
