After all is said and done, George Bush and Dick Cheney

are responsible for allowing the US to be attacked on 911 and then allowing this nation to become a nation that commits the immoral crime of torture. If we are the supposed Christian nation that is trumpeted by the right why would such a nation commit an immoral anti Christian act against an enemy Jesus said we should love as ourselves. The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven

tout their anti-Christian credentials, because those trump - by far - any Christian acts they claim to practice.

Matthew 7:15-16: (15) “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. (16) You will know them by their fruits."

Full disclosure: I'm a Christian. I don't subscribe to any particular Christian faith, though. I subscribe only in the belief of Christ and his teachings, which makes me a Christian (however flawed of a human being I am), and I try to think, feel, and live as he has to the best of my ability.

So when I read or hear a Republican like Bush or Cheney or Michelle Bachman call themselves Christians, I cringe. They are NOT representative of Christ's teachings, and they are purposely and successfully destroying everything he stood and stands for, which makes them, in word and deed, the proverbial anti-Christ, imo.
