Love everyone including thy enemies That one is practiced by very few. In any case Jesus didn't say to appease dictators, or not to liberate countries, and the passage about buying swords seems to indicate at least support for self defense. Turning the other cheek may have been turning the other cheek to a slap or an insult not to something deadly. give away your wealth to the poor because rich people can't get to heaven He didn't really say they can't get to heaven. And yes he suggested to people that they give away their wealth, not that they take other people's wealth and hand it out. Bush-Cheney's administration has been stripping environmental laws since day one Actually no that isn't the case. Overall there are more environmental restrictions in place now than before Bush became president. Bush did slow down the rate of increase but that isn't a reversal of the increase. The only laws he did trim back where ones that were pushed through last minute by Clinton. Clinton was fine not having these regulations in place for 2 terms and then last minute he put them in place. Also some of those Bush changes or proposed changes have been reversed or canceled. They have snubbed the world community on on version of the Kyoto Treaty Which was voted down 98-0. It was dead already, and that is a good thing. Bush just put the last shovel of dirt on its coffin. and lied by saying that cutting pollution costs jobs Not a lie. Its true. Even if it wasn't true I'm sure Bush would believe it so he wouldn't be a lie, but that really isn't an issue because it is true. That doesn't mean every possible environmental protection is a long term economic negative, but more often than not the economy does take a hit (even if it is often a small one). Tim
