Reminiscent of visitors to our threads who pretend to be conservatives and then remove their masks to show darker motives, Senator John Danforth has worn the label of Christian before revealing his inner motives. He now uses Terri's plight as a lever to assault the more faithful and those whose fundamental beliefs we think to be the core of conservative thought.

How THEY think...

We see this around us on a daily basis. We see it in President Bush's blind and groundless optimism regarding, say, Iraq as it careens ever deeper into civil war. We see it in Congress's attention to private lifestyle issues like gay marriage. We see it in Gov. Sonny Perdue's celebration of Georgia's "meteoric" rise in relative state rankings of SAT scores from 50th to 46th, even though the scores themselves have declined.

And we see it most graphically in the inevitable knee-jerk responses to scientific and medical progress that affect the arena of human sexuality and procreation. In such responses, there is little coherence, consistency, knowledge or rationality. Indeed, when it comes to our unalienable right to life, as the speaker in Yeats' "The Second Coming" says, "The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity." And frequently, the right to life of the unborn (unattached cell clusters) or undead (Terry Schiavo) trumps the right to life of the vibrantly alive.

Danforth is a human stomach pump.

Rather than contribute $$ to the National Republican Committee, I contribute to individual CONSERVATIVE Republicans that I have researched and/or are backed by good people, like Alan Keyes.

I just don't trust the Republican Party to make good judgments any more.

Senator John Danforth is one of many examples.

The faux-Christians in the GOP have a liberal agenda. The liberal agenda is anything but Christian or any other faith. Libs are what Ann Coulter said in her book they were, "godless".

Proverbs: "Those who hate me love death." (would that be Goldwater and Danforth?) Isn't that special.
