I got this in my email a while back and though everyone would like to see it..It might have even been posted here..

a little of what was in the article..



Given the consistency of their antagonistic actions over the past six years, it’s safe to say that liberals will continue to do exactly what they’ve been doing, i.e., demonstrating to the whole world their shabby, incoherent, angry and, yes, sinful behavior.

Sinful? You decide.

PRIDE, the first deadly sin, is an excessive belief in one's own value. Vanity. Arrogance. Exactly what characterizes leftists in the media and the Beltway – the conceit that they’re smarter, wiser and morally superior to those Red-state rubes who should have listened to them in the first place, voted for John Kerry (who voted for the war before he voted against it) and watched him appease our enemies, raise our taxes, appoint more liberals to the Supreme Court, and base his actions on what the thugs at the U.N. have to say.

ENVY, the second deadly sin, is a yearning for another person’s status, abilities or situation. Liberals are jealous of the president’s visionary foreign policy and of his Social Security and tax reform proposals because his success, to them, means their failure. Pollster John Zogby has commented on a recent poll that shows Americans overwhelmingly support Social Security reform: “To the Democrats: Just saying no is not a policy and demographics are not destiny. Ignore the ‘ownership society’ at your own peril.” Ordinarily, adults manifest their envy by joining the efforts of their object of envy, the better to share the glow of success, or by striving to equal or surpass him – on the playing field, in the arts, in politics. But children hurl insults, have temper tantrums, contrive defaming lies, bristle with unconcealed resentment, and invariably sabotage themselves. Sound familiar?

GLUTTONY, the third deadly sin, is usually associated with an avaricious appetite for food, drink, sex and drugs. But the gluttonous appetite of liberals is to consume every aspect of Americans’ lives through their watchdogs in the ACLU, judges who legislate from the bench, a “Big Brother” government that imposes high taxes so they and not you can spend them, unbridled trial lawyers who become wealthy from junk law suits against deep-pocket "big business" corporations to the inevitable detriment of "the little guy" whom liberals claim they champion but who always end up holding the short end of the litigation stick, useful-to-our-enemies-idiots like Cindy Sheehan who milk their 15-minutes of fame ad nauseum, and the likes of Halliburton-stock-owning Michael Moore who pretend to speak for the same little guy while stashing their dough in offshore accounts under dummy company names to avoid paying taxes.

LUST, the fourth deadly sin, is an excessive craving for the pleasures of the body. Without elaborating upon our country’s impeached Luster-in-Chief, suffice it to say that liberals lust to control the entire body politic, from cradle to grave. But like all lustful people, they are so blinded by their yearning to ravage the president that they have effectively consumed themselves in the process. The liberals would do well to rid themselves of the bad apples in their contaminated barrel. Unfortunately, they are so self-defeating as to be incapable of following the words of Jesus, who said to Matthew (5:29-30): “And If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.”

ANGER, the fifth deadly sin, is evident in those who abandon love (or even like) and opt for fury instead. The evidence looms large: Sen. Ted Kennedy’s bulging neck veins, Bill Clinton’s bad-mouthing the president’s foreign policy when only miles away from our fighting troops, Sen. Richard Durbin’s calling the actions of American soldiers equivalent to those of Nazis, Mussolini and Pol Pot, Sen. Hillary Clinton – with a straight face – saying, “It is very hard to stop people who have never been acquainted with the truth.” But anger and hate consume the vessels that hold them, just as the wrath of liberals has consumed the last vestiges of their credibility.

GREED, the sixth deadly sin is the desire to “have it all” – including my share and your share. In their transparent passion for power, liberals no longer believe in democracy, in which the majority rules, accommodation is reached, compromises are struck, and the great issues of the day are discussed in a sane if spirited fashion. But avaricious liberals crave the president ‘s popularity, decisiveness, even his even sunny disposition. They can’t imitate him because, well, they’re not him. Simply, they covet all that he is and has, especially his power.

SLOTH, the seventh deadly sin, is essentially laziness. Oh, it’s not as if liberals avoid the arduous work of showing up each day on Capitol Hill, jetting around the country trying to raise money for their next campaign, or hesitating to memorize the DNC’s daily talking points, the better to regurgitate them for Chris Matthews or Katie Couric. But when it comes to formulating policy or spearheading initiatives, they are as the very definition of indolence. Their adherents, however, are quite active – at least their fingers are. Every day, for hour after hour, they e-mail each other everything that’s wrong with our country, contorting the good news into bad news, looking at the economy and screaming deficit, seeing the heroism of our troops and crying body count, and most egregiously, witnessing the terrorists’ savagery and saying, “We have to understand why they’re angry!”

It’s tempting to say to liberals: “Sinners, repent and be saved!” But as things now stand, it is the majority of the American public who must be saved, who must actually save ourselves – at the ballot box – from the liberals among us.
