My Republican
Christian homophobic friends defend their hate by arguing that they have
nothing against “those people”, and in fact, they love them. Their favorite
phrase is “I love the sinner, but I hate the sin.”
It suddenly
struck me today that I feel the same way about my Republican friends. I love
them, but hate their policies that, in my mind are responsible for virtually
every ill facing this country right now.
That said,
given human nature, for all the frustrations inherent with a two-party system
and the fights over filibusters and holds and cloture and bills that only pass
the House but not the Senate and vetoes of bills that have passed both, I still
think we have a great system of government, if only because of the human nature
that results in overreach and corruption that comes with absolute power, both
of which inevitably occur anytime and every time one party has a huge advantage
in government at any level.
So I guess
when it comes to our government, I also love the sinners but hate their sins.
Jamie....I saw in your letter to the editor how you list in Obamas "economic" accomplishments the reduction in the price of oil....could you please expand on that a little for me? What specifically did he do to lower the price of oil world wide...its an amazing feat and I just wanted to know how he did it...anxiously awaiting your reply
