These refusals are what Jesus wanted to prevent. The sharing is what he wanted to promote so that in those very acts we will be saved. Moreover, some Protestants have pointed out that faith (in God, grace, and forgiveness) is itself a human act -- which Jesus wanted to promote, and the rejection of that act of faith is one thing Jesus wanted to prevent.

I enjoy listening to Sean Sanity's radio show and TV show. He often reveals genuine conservative issues. But, I don't think anyone who knows Sean would ever consider him an intellectual or a deep thinker. He is a likeable guy who has a conservative point of view. I am amazed that anyone would consider Sean's comments (the taking the lesser of two evils -- birth control over abortion) as more than the knee jerk thoughts of a not too well educated talk show host.

MISSING BEN
Re: Ben Stein's Terribly Exciting:

After I read "Terribly Exciting" all I could think was "Where is Ben Stein and what have you done to him?"

This column was written by a compassionate man who vilifies the greedy rich and laments the fall of the common man and the decline of the middle class at the hands of big corporations and their wealthy owners. He took some shots at investment bankers and he bemoaned the plight of teachers making $28,000 a year.

Obviously this was not written by Ben Stein. That old conservative curmudgeon has not a drop of compassion in his entire body. He doesn't care for the hoi polloi and he loves the rich and their big corporations. He's a cheerleader for George W. Bush, tax cuts for the rich and program cuts for the poor.

So, where are you hiding the real Ben Stein? And who is this liberal who took his place? I'd like to know, because the liberal guy makes more sense than that old heartless conservative curmudgeon Ben Stein ever did.

Please tell Ben Stein that he gets the economy he voted for. The GOP has been in charge for the last 6 years with no accountability, no oversight, and no limit to their glee in running up this country's deficit.

Thanks Ben Stein. The old GOP of lower taxes, less government has turned into a corrupt big spending totalitarianism.

Thank God the Dems are in to do some fixing!!!
