More McCain madness

Part of what McCain clipped from the Wikipedia article on Georgia was the assertion that Georgia was "one of the first nations on Earth to convert to Christianity" to which Melissa Rogers responds: "You say that like it's a good thing . . ."

First of all, a nation cannot "convert" to Christianity -- only individuals can choose to follow Jesus Christ. Second, while some nations do establish an official religion, I find it disturbing that an American presidential candidate would seem to describe that as a good thing.

Yes, do tell us all the times that establishing a state sponsored religion has worked out for the state and the religion. Do tell. And please, Senator McCain, this doesn't have to do with the fact that you think you need the evangelical vote, does it? And you believe that the evangelical vote also wants to claim Christianity as our official religion?

I don't think that is where most (even conservative) evangelicals are, but then again, I thought most conservative evangelicals would abandon Bush over torture.

Actually more disturbing to me this week has been McCain's bellicosity toward Russia and his assertion of Presidential authority in promising American assistance. I read this morning that McCain has been in constant contact with the President of Georgia and is stepping all over even our administration's message. Not that they will rein him in, of course.

And most disturbing (besides the fact that McCain idiot friend Joe Lieberman now says that Obama is unpatriotic) is that McCain and his people think threatening more wars--lots more wars--will win votes.
