In my prevous post, I pointed out how Mohler misses entirely the ethical questionability of the Bush administration’s deceit of the American public, and worse, their resulting justification of murder of thousands of Iraqi civilians. For a “moralist” such as Mohler, this is despicable. But then again, he is, like the rest of the Religious Right, living in La-La land on this matter. Time after time, evidence after evidence surfaces (as in recent revelations about the Britsih memo) that the Bush administration intended to “do Iraq” all along. It was in their “Rebuilding America’s Defenses” manifesto, and it was dominating their talking as they took office, especially after 9/11, when there was not any evidence at all (and still has never been) that Iraq had ANYTHING to do with 9/11. Indeed, all the evidence shows that Hessein and Bin Laden were enemies (to Bin Laden, Huseein was an infidel secularist, and offered Kuwait their “Al Quieda” fighters to help fight back Iraq.

But no amount of evidence seems to dissuade this group that they have made an idolatrous, blasphemous error in backing a deceitful, unethical empire. They deny any and a;l evidence that any such evidence exists, or points to what seems obvious to everyone not “pre-emptively persuaded” that their “cause is just” and “sanctioned by God”. This, in fact, was the language of Hitler. It is the deceit of the Iraq debacle that harkens to the “religious justifications” of Hitler himself. Mohler wants to have us be prepared to being applying this charge to the Democrats, but the death and destruction based on public propaganda and corporate profits filtering to several “inside” folks in the Bush administration make this a scandalous mockery of the Religious Right’s backing of Bush as the “moral choice”, but of the very bases of plain old secular democracy itself.

We must hasten to make clear that our political context is not that of Germany in the 1930s. The Democratic Party cannot fairly be compared with National Socialism, Maoism, or analogous evils.

So actually, Al, you not only miss the entire freakin’ point, you point at the wrong culprits, and deny any wrongdoing of on the part of an evil empire who increasingly shows its disregard for the ways of peace, cooperation, and a living out of the sanctity of LIFE. LIFE, Al. Not doctrine. You, sir, blaspheme in your seeming inability to see the world in any color other than red, white and Blue. YOur smug talk of a “Culture of Life” while you let human disaster and oppresion go scot free is a final grade of F for your “pure doctrine” that means ZILCH. You miss what is obvious to any reading of the Jesus of the Gospels. LOVE for enemy is pretty important to Jesus.
