Enough of the "Holier than thou"

All political candidates should have to wear Mr. Toles cartoon around their neck as a constant reminder to can the holier than thou hypocrisy.

The Prince of Peace

We are near the day that we celebrate the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, aka Jesus Christ, aka "The Prince of Peace". Some of the teachings of Jesus extoll the virtues of peace and tolerance, as shown here:

 

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." (Matthew 5:38-39)...Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. (Matthew 5:38-44)

 

According to Matthew, these are the words of Jesus, the very same Jesus whose teachings many politicians speak of reverently, but in hypocritical practice seem to ignore, all the while preaching the virtues of war.

 

As a prime example, I offer George of Crawford.

Presidential Candidates and Truth

I want to know the name of the presidential candidate or candidates who TRULY care more for their country than their ambitions.

Is there such a person?

Or is it just, "I love Jesus more than you love Jesus, SO THERE!!"

 

Politics and Religion

 

The teaching of Jesus from the Book of Matthew "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto thee, they have their reward. But when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."  -------------------------------------------------                          The foolish politicians prattle on endlessly about how wonderful they are and how they follow Jesus. Give me a break. Have they never read the book of Matthew? Keep all this stuff to yourself. If you deserve a reward, you will get it. Bloody hypocrites!

Joe Lieberman, the wolf in sheep's clothing is more and more showing his true colors as a Republican war lover. It's politicians of his ilk that are bringing our country down, fiscally, economically, morally, and militarily. The sins of this "father" will be passed down to the children of future generations.
