I have not decided which of the presidential hopefuls to support in the 2008 primaries (coming in Feb. 2008, I believe), but I certainly think that Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas looks promising. In a recent editorial in the NY Times, the paper lambasted him for daring to block the nomination of Janet Neff. Why would he do such a thing?
Well, according to the Times, to be against gay marriage is showing "hateful views toward gay people." Sen. Brownback took note that the judge had not only "attended" a commitment ceremony for a woman, but gave a homily at said ceremony. The senator seemed to think that this showed that the judge may just be too biased to sit on a federal bench. He offered a compromise - to stop blocking the nomination if the good judge would recuse herself on any cases dealing with "gay marriage." And this, to the Times, is hateful.
This is the same editorial board that has supported the efforts of the Democrats for the last six years in blocking the nominations of pro-life judges based on their bias towards life and against abortion. For some reason I have missed the editorials that considered such actions as "hateful"!
I guess "hate" is in the mind of the writer.

"Hate" means any opposition to the secular progressive agenda. This great nation is slowly committing suicide because we don't have near enough of that kind of "hate."
Thank you for the comment. I don't guess the sp's would take kindly to our saying we "hate the sin" while loving the sinners, huh?
The only hope for a return to Godliness in America is through the churches. And only God Himself can bring that about. Let us pray towards that end.
