"-Why do Presbyterian leaders insist on meeting with Hezbollah?"
I dunno....'cause they're A-Holes?
PCUSA delegation spokesman Robert Worley, a retired seminary professor, assured Quwaq that all delegation members had voted for John Kerry.
A perferct opening. It creates an immediate emotional bond with the terrorists.
"We treasure the precious words of Hizbullah and your expression of goodwill towards the American people. Also, we praise your initiative for dialogue and mutual understanding. We cherish these statements that bring us closer to you. As an elder of our church, I'd like to say that according to my recent experience, relations and conversations with Islamic leaders are a lot easier than dealings and dialogue with Jewish leaders..”
Had these people been around in 1936 they would have gone to Germany and expressed solidarity with Hitler's efforts to bring Socialism to his people. The bottom line for these leftists is that if you hate America they are on your side. In the end it doesn't really matter. Mainstream churches like the PCUSA are becoming increasingly irrelevant as churches and political voices.
Let's give Hugh Hewitt some real heat
about this. Hugh's a Presbyterian elder,
I believe, in this Presbyterian body.

What is it with the Left and their inability to identify the moral evil of terrorism?
The Bible instructs Christians to "go into all the world and preach the Gospel; maybe they're trying to save Islamic souls. If they don't get their heads sawed off first...
Maybe it's the other way around? Likely Hezbollah wants to measure their necks for further, um, alterations!
It was not a PCUSA sanctioned group that met with terrorists, it was rather a small delegation from one presbytery - Chicago Presbytery. The meeting has not met with approval by the Presbytery but has caused and is causing a great deal of fallout.
Jimmy Carter, Dan Rather, et. al. have met with various dictators/terrorists/despots - like Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein - and we know well they do not represent all of America.
It's quite simple actually, being the good Christians they are they feel it is their Christian duty to extend the hand of Christian Fellowship and if necessary turn the other cheek.
Being a good Christian transcends being an American.
A TV program was on the other night about the three religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Cable, maybe the history channel. The program was a rehash of PC baloney and an insult to one's intelligence. One idiot Jewish woman met with a Palestinian group who educated her about their many 'grievances'. Afterward, she announced that she'd been upset by what happened on Sept. 11, but now understood why Muslims had taken such an extreme step. She couldn't say '9/11'. She tried to whitewash the murder of 3000 innocent Americans. The entire program was Muslim propaganda. Period.
