<> I care when the most basic question of life is now considered negotiable by "conservatives." It really wasn't that long ago that a "proabortionist" could NOT be elected dog catcher. Now, things have become so perverse that we have turned that tautology into a mocking dismissal of fellow Christians. "I don't care in the dog catcher is proabortion." Is it ok for the dog catcher to be a cannibal?

What, exactly, is being "conserved" when we are witnessing such a rapid abandonment of principle?<>

We are not talking about the hierarchy of the Church. We are talking about effective governance in a secular society. If we insist upon ideological purity in the selection of candidates for ALL government offices, we will alienate our uneasy political allies, which will result in the enemies of life achieving total dominance in the sphere of public social policy. It's called cutting off our noses to spite our faces.

There is absolutely no principle being abandonded in selecting men like Kissinger to positions having nothing to do with social policy.

Our society did not become so perverse overnight, and we will not be healed in a day. When we finally have a golden opportunity to effect the character of the Judicial branch for a generation, doesn't it seems silly and shortsighted to get your panties in a bunch over W's appointment of Dr. K to this pointless, pandering placading party?!
