Harris is insisting that she should be elected because she's a Christian. If she is not, then we are showing the world that we support sin. Well, isn't that just ducky!Sounds a bit like Cheney's insistence that if Bush wasn't re-elected we'd be attacked again. The strategy is getting a bit old. The trouble is when the wolf really does show up, will we be able to tell or is the wolf already here?
The far Right-Wing Politicians sense a loss in November - voila - more terrorist trouble but isolated in different parts of the world. If we want to be safe we need to vote Republican, right?
The Liberal church has had a few legal victories here and there - Dover, PA loses ID to Evolution. The RightWing Church now insists point blank that we are not Christians and its starting to take its toll on friendships and in families.
This polarization exemplified by Harris' attitude can only hurt us. The signs after 9/11 said "United we stand, Divided we fall." It's not a bad sentiment, but the very people who espoused it the most vociferously are the same people who are driving a wedge that is deeper and more painful than any a terrorist could do.
Enough already!
