I’m tired of Tom DeLay portraying himself as a martyr. He’s not. He’s also not the
moral and religious compass he claims to be. He should also keep his religious beliefs to himself instead of forcing them on others and presenting them as fact that we should all prescribe. His stance in the Terri Schiavo issue is recessive of this. Even though her husband, who has to right to make the decision to pull the plug, has made his decision Tom DeLay, in his infinite Christian wisdom should be the one making the decision; because he’s Tom DeLay. He is the exemplar. Even though in the past month several ethical and moral problems have surfaced around him, and people are beginning to realize that the man is as corrupt as they come. As well, if I’m not mistaken, his party buys into the idea that there should be smaller government, and that the freedoms of people are of the utmost importance. Uhh, this doesn’t sound like a smaller government to me or that people’s freedoms are important. Only our representatives’ freedoms are important. They should be the one’s to decide if this woman lives or dies and they should be the one’s to decide if I get my medication (because in many of their minds diabetes is a sickness that God bestows on those who He is punishing for not being ‘proper Christians’). If I’m not mistaken there were other religions in this country other than Christianity, and, for some reason, way too many people seem to forget that. It’s as if they ignore other religions, shove them into an ‘other’ category of ‘lesser’ beliefs that are wrong. Actually, it seems as though that whole section of the Constitution that talks about freedom of religion only pertains to those who are Christian, and that all other faiths should just accept Christianities superiority. It truly boggles the mind. The idea of religious freedom means that we should be able to practice our religions freely without the government becoming involved and telling us what is wrong and right.
Sorry if that sounded angry or extremely ‘left.’ Truth is, I’m neither angry nor ‘left.’
Political parties are stupid, and only create more problems and needless separations
