Our rapist friend actually had a funny line I just heard on ABC Radio news -- the Republicans aren't the only ones who want four more years.
There is definitely a moral dilemma on this thread. It is true that we should pray for our ideological enemy; however, many of us see Bill Clinton as more than an ex-President, but a rapist or sexual offender at best if you believe the stories of Juanita Broderick and others.
He certainly doesn’t deserve condemnation if it’s purely ideological. People leveled hatred against Dick Cheney when he had surgery simply because people believed him to be involved with Halliburton. People leveled hatred against Ronald Reagan when he died because of numerous political reasons. Outside of politics these men led and lead honorable lives.
Rape is something though, especially if the rapist is unapologetic. In the end, many of us believe Bill Clinton to be an unapologetic and evil man. It’s difficult to categorize his evilness on a line chart or compare it to other evil men; but being that evil is a word that I think describes him I personally have a hard time praying for him; however I will.
Given his charisma and speaking abilities, Bill Clinton could still be an enormous force for good in this world if God chooses. We’ve seen other people that we thought were unredeemable receive the wake-up call of 9/11. So I would encourage everyone to not only pray for Bill Clinton to recover but to come out of his recovery with a new outlook on the dangers of socialism.
Ideologically, Bill Clinton is a socially liberal-leaning Democrat, not a pure socialist; he at least didn’t enact sweeping socialist reform. The Republican Party has effectively merged real Democrats with Republicans while the Democrat party has no American representation left in this campaign; it’s consumed by European socialism. I believe John Kerry will implement, if he’s able to, broad socialist reform to our nation.
My 2cents.
