The message I hear from Democrats when they talk about faith in action sounds a lot like, "what's in it for me?" They want to legislate interaction between individuals by their definition of fair & anyone who fails to go along with their version is vilified.

They talk about separation of church & state like it's part of our Constitution, as they go about parsing the word "is" again and confuse the writings of Marx with Biblical teachings.

"They want to legislate interaction between individuals by their definition of fair & anyone who fails to go along with their version is vilified."

It is interesting to note that the word "fair" does not appear in the King James version of the Bible except as it pertains to the complexion of the skin.

In place of what the world calls "fair", the Bible uses the word "just". A vast difference, that we as conservatives would suggest supports our contention of a return to that which is "just" rather than "fair".

In my view, just moral values include many categories... sex and sexual orientation, taxes, punishment, "partnership" rites, abortion, etc. The concept of being "fair" in today's world goes far beyond the individual to the corporate world and governance. Whether we agree or not we are forced to pay our "fair" share, in taxes or remuneration, so that others can have what is considered to be only "fair".

Hogwash!
