Religious right backs Powell II
State Secretary's son becomes America's 'chief censor'

WASHINGTON - For the first four years of the first Bush administration, few Americans knew Michael Powell for anything other than being the son of Colin Powell, the U.S. Secretary of State.

snip...........

Jerrold Nadler, a Democratic congressman from New York and ranking member of the House constitution subcommittee, says Powell's complaints against ABC and Monday Night Football "make it abundantly clear that he is less interested in doing his job than he is in becoming the country's chief censor."

But social conservatives, whose massive turnout in the Nov. 2 presidential election helped tip the scales in Bush's favour, are hailing Powell's anti-obscenity campaign as long overdue.

snip........

There is talk around Washington that Powell's crackdown is motivated more by possible designs on a future political career, and the need to have support from the social conservative base of the Republican party.

Powell, still in his early 40s, has said little about his political ambitions, but it is clear he wants to be known for more than just being Colin's kid.

1. Let's please start with the Bible.

Ezekiel 23


Two Adulterous Sisters

1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother. 3 They became prostitutes in Egypt, engaging in prostitution from their youth. In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed. 4 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
5 "Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians-warriors 6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all of them handsome young men, and mounted horsemen. 7 She gave herself as a prostitute to all the elite of the Assyrians and defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after. 8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when during her youth men slept with her, caressed her virgin bosom and poured out their lust upon her. (Money Shot!)
9 "Therefore I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians, for whom she lusted. 10 They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters and killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women, and punishment was inflicted on her.
11 "Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister. 12 She too lusted after the Assyrians-governors and commanders, warriors in full dress, mounted horsemen, all handsome young men. 13 I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way.
14 "But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans <1> portrayed in red, 15 with belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea. <2> 16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. 17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. 18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

2. Bush's (un)Christian Theocracy agenda on the march

Hungry kids with no health coverage is ok and raises no indignation from the religious right(wrong). But showing a breast or the back of a naked woman is so very immoral. How sick.
