 | Nancy Pelosi "Born Again"doctorbulldog | 5 June, 2010 at 12:19 pm | Categories: Christians, Christians under attack, Cognitive Dissonance, Religion, congress sucks | URL: http://wp.me/p1NPg-65j |
Considering that Conservative politicians are mercilessly slammed by Libtards and Lefturds at the mere mention of God Almighty, I'm curious as to why there is no such outcry from the Left concerning Nancy Pelosi's recent 'fausse conversion' to Christianity.
Could it be that all you Libtards and Lefturds are, as Jesus would say, "hypocrites?"
Nancy Pelosi, messenger of God? The House Speaker's galling, hypocritical religious opportunism
Andrea Tantaros - NY Daily News
During times of trials and tribulations, many people turn to Christ to help them through. It seems Sister - I mean Speaker of the House - Nancy Pelosi is no different. With speculation brewing that Democrats are poised to lose big in the fall midterm elections and the balance of power at stake, is Nancy Pelosi turning to Jesus for political salvation?
Her recent religious revival started shortly after the passage of the health care bill. Tasked with selling the unpopular overhaul, Pelosi opted to appeal to a higher power for help. She asked members of the clergy to make the case to their congregations in support of her legislation, with little criticism from the secular media.
Then she urged Catholic leaders to "instruct" their parishioners to support immigration reforms, saying clerics should "play a very major role" in supporting her policies, something that would likely jeopardize their nonprofit status. However, at the same news conference, she also praised the group of religious sisters whose endorsement of the health care reform bill undercut the U.S. bishops' push for abortion funding restrictions.
These comments and actions are an insulting attempt to manipulate the Catholic Church into promoting the Democratic agenda. Imagine if George Bush would have used scripture to justify the Iraq war or Medicare Part D.
But Pelosi isn't done exploiting religious leaders for political ends. On May 6, speaking to a Catholic conference, she said that her favorite word was "The Word" - referring to the Bible - and proceeded to argue its merits.
"It says it all for us. . . . And that Word is, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn't it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word."
She went on, "Fill it in with anything you want. But, of course, we know it means: 'The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.' And that's the great mystery of our faith. He will come again. He will come again. So, we have to make sure we're prepared to answer in this life, or otherwise, as to how we have measured up."
Fill it in with whatever you want? This isn't Morally Relative Mad Libs. That's not how it works - but while we're at it, how about "The Hypocrisy"? Now that has a ring to it.
The Word is not something you can use interchangeably to bear witness for whatever strikes your fancy. Any devout Christian knows that.
Pelosi has a long, sad history of being selectively religious when it comes to advancing her agenda, one a Republican in her position could never get away with. It's past time to call her on it.
