Not too mention how blatantly wrong she is on the birther issue.You may be right about THIS one. :o)
I prefer to see Ann's distancing herself from this important issue as a matter of priority.Why attack Obama, she seems to be saying, in a way that gives us even the APPEARANCE of loon-acy...
...when there are so many OTHER (more "traditional") issues where he is vulnerable.
I don’t recall reading that particular AC column, but ‘hating Susan Sarandon’? - what happened to love the sinner / hate the sin? What happens to not taking God seriously and literally at His Word regarding forgiveness. I think the problem is we all too often enjoy AC taking revenge on the left - misaligning who the true enemy is - the enemy is not my brother or sister - the enemy is the devil/satan/lucifer - the father of all lies, spiritiual stronholds set against the Will and Word and Love of God.
The other problem for most christians is in failing in discernment, distinction and discrimination. God declares that only He sees and knows the truth in the heart of every believer yet all too often we want to be associated w/ the ‘higher ups’ - the Popes, Billy Graham, etc. - this is pride and pride is sin. Sin is selfishness and sooner or later pride speaks to selfishness claiming a little cake for the here and now rather than waiting for the great wedding feast ushering in God’s Kingdom and Rule - when our chains will be broken completely.
Basically I think AC needs to mature a lot before she continues to try to be a ‘christian leader’ - but then we all do, we all fall short. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy in the current news.
