Where is the Senate resolution censuring Harry Reid for calling certain Christians phony Christians?
Where is the letter to the Mormon leadership, signed by numerous Senators, demanding that they tell Harry to STFU?
The official name of the country of North Korea is the “People’s Republic of Korea”, is it not? How much do you suppose the unfortunate people of that country have to say about what goes on there? And how does calling it a republic make it so?

Reid Backs Decision to Block Immigration Enforcement Rule

(CNSNews.com) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Thursday he supports a decision by a district court judge that halts new Department of Homeland Security rules designed to make businesses accountable for employing illegal immigrants — but the senator seemed confused over the court decision itself.
Mr. Reid has brought his pugilistic sensibility to his career, often taking jabs at those he deems unworthy. In Mr. Reid’s two-year run as minority leader, he called Alan Greenspan, the former Federal Reserve chairman, “a political hack”; Justice Clarence Thomas “an embarrassment”; and President Bush a “loser” and a “liar.”
“People can say he is a nice guy, but that just totally misses it,” said Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Democrat of New York. “He’s got a spine of steel, and he will go toe-to-toe with anyone.”
“Hillary, you’re the best to work with,” Mr. Reid told Mrs. Clinton. “Love you,” he signed off. (Mrs. Clinton offers that she ended the call by saying, “Love you, too, Harry.”)
“It is time for bipartisanship,” Mr. Reid said at the rally, a few seconds after he was introduced for the first time as the majority leader of the Senate.
Mr. Reid once shut down the Senate, invoking a little-used procedure to force closed-door discussion about the intelligence the Bush administration used to justify war in Iraq
Mr. Reid voted against Mr. Bush’s nominations of John G. Roberts Jr. and Samuel A. Alito Jr. to the Supreme Court; opposed Republican efforts to abolish the estate tax;
“I’m going to throw bombs sometimes”
Mr. Reid added that he would “try not to be obnoxious,”
Harry Reid:
“I have come to realize Islam is a good religion, it is a good way of life.”
I certainly can, and that’s why I left the church - because the politicians live by a double standard out here - Salt Lake. Just like Harry Reid and Mitt Romney. They are heads and tails on the same coin living by the same principles.
They learned them when they were 8 years old.
Try living it, and seeing the double standards.
Thank you Phil. Those hands say it all, don’t they?

While Orthodox Christians, most assuredly are evangelical in the sense of following the Gospels, and are catholic, indeed holding that the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church subsists in the local churches of the Orthodox Church, and not in the Latin church subject to the Pope of Rome, we generally don’t self-identity as “Evangelicals” or as “Catholics” because of the success of various heretical groups in claiming those words as brand-names for their variant of Christianity. (Of course they are still Christians, albeit heretical Christians, which is why I don’t chose to make the case they are anti-Christian.)
