As usual, New Proletariat Radio (NPR) is neglecting to mention the other
morons that are injecting their favorite slants/agendas on the events. I
offer the following links for your perusal.
The first one is to an editorial from Charles Krauthammer appearing this
weekend in selected newspapers around the country. In it he discusses the
stupidity exhibited by Falwell and Robertson but he also takes the left to
task for their idiotic comments also. He does show a bit of ignorance
about Neville Chamberlain, but apart from that the editorial is
interesting.

I also offer the following link from the Boston Globe, where the editorial
says we brought the terror on ourselves because we drive SUVs.

e+.shtml
Lastly, I also want to share with you this final link which describes the
only representative who voted against authorizing President Bush to use
force against the terrorists, Barbara Lee, is described. This would be of
special interest to the voters in San Francisco/Oakland.

And by the way I do agree that Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson have blown
whatever little bit of credibility they had left.
Kind regards,
Denys. . .

My apologies for posting this, but I think it says a lot about our so
called religious leaders. The original audio may be found at

<donning asbestos suit, NOW!> flames taken offline, curses may be n Airlines flight 77. That

instead of another national monument.

Mr. Bingham was 31. He played on a local gay rugby team and hoped to
compete in next year's gay games in Sydney, Australia.
ÿ
I don't know if Mark Bingham was religious, but it seems to me that he
lived a life that celebrated the preciousness of the world's
infinite variety.
ÿ
Not so the Revs. Robertson and Falwell and the mullahs of the Talaban, who
seem to see a God who frowns at tolerance and smiles with
approval on murder and destruction.
ÿ
Let me put it in the bold terms in which many Americans may be thinking
right now. If your plane was hijacked, who would you rather
sit next to?
ÿ
Righteous Reverends who sit back and say, "This is God's judgment for gay
Teletubbies"?
ÿ
Or the gay rugby player who lays down his life to save others?
ÿ
And, by the way, which person seems closer to God?
