Sacking Jesus, saving a convert
The Washington Times ^ | 3-24-06 | Wes Pruden

Sometimes an editor is tempted to assign the religion reporter to cover war, revolution and other hostile gunplay and sectarian sword fighting. Like this week, for example. In Afghanistan, liberated from the Islamist brutality of the Taliban by an army of mostly Christians and Jews, the new government of men inspired by "the religion of peace" has threatened to kill for the heinous crime of becoming a Christian. In Iraq, a dramatic rescue of "peacemakers" saved three goo-goo do-gooders from beheading, or worse, and all the thanks the soldiers who put their lives on the line got was breathtaking ingratitude and a promise by the "peacemakers" to accelerate their love for their captors and their contempt for the rescuers.

(No word about to which remote base in the Aleutians this protesting chaplain has been reassigned.)

If he's an Orthodox chaplain, it would make for a smooth transition to his new locale.

Michael Savage expressed is displeasure with the three rescued Christians. I don't know what they said exactly, but clearly these people are mentally deranged. AS Savage said yesterday, "The only thing worse than a left wing liberal is a left wing Christian liberal or left liberal Jew for that matter..."

This is a great time and issue for George W. to step up to the plate and do "what a man's gotta do."

In the meantime, we need to get Rahman out of there.

Hoo Ha!

..George W. will have to do it, even if he has to stuff his diplomats into the ladies' room to let a man do a man's work.

IMHO, Dubya should have cleaned house on the State Dep't and the Diplomatic Corps on day one of his presidency.

IMHO

Not just your humble opinion. The opinion of many of us.
