Pat Robertson Thinks Adultery By A Republican Is Not Sin

How very interesting. Pat Robertson's reaction to the discovery by the media of the affair General Petreaus has been having with Paula Broadwell was basically that "no one is perfect", and it's almost okay with God. That isn't the position he took on Bill clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. But then, General Petreaus is republican, and Bill Clinton is Democrat. So it is not a problem if someone who is in the white, conservative, little christian club does something that isn't right, but it is a problem if someone whom the little christians do not like does something that isn't right. We've all seen this before folks. Christianity, functioning at it's best. Only the veil is wearing thin, as many Americans are beginning to see through all this nonsense.

The deal is this: an affair had by someone with an important job generally does not affect the ability of the person to do that job, if the person was qualified and committed in the first place. The only person who should have had a problem with Bill Clinton over Monica Lewinsky is Hilary Clinton. It was no one else's business. And it was not President Clinton's job to "set an example" for anyone. It was his job to run the country, and he did a good job of it. General Petreaus, on the other hand, allowed classified documents to become compromised, as a large number of classified files were found in his mistress's home. While she does, or did, as the case may be, possess a security clearance, her clearance was to do her OWN job, not to snoop at information related to Petreaus's job. THAT'S a problem. And Pat Robertson is also mistaken about the idea that gender would give a person a reason to defy a vow and a committment, such as marriage. Both parties in a marriage should rightly trust one another, and respect is a two way street.

The Democratic National Convention Summed Up

The DNC was summed can be summed up by one person and one word: Bill Clinton and facts! Yes; no one else seems to do it like Bill Clinton! Good, bad, or indifferent, he delivered facts at the convention. Everyone else, most notably, Republicans, seem to prefer fantasy.

 

Looking At The Big Picture

I saw this on Yahoo this morning. Bill Clinton, on the economy, and the "American Dream", or lifestyle. When I explain American ecomonic issues to my children, I usually start with the 1920's, and work my way to now, explaining the effects of everything from the "Roaring Twenties" and alcohol prohibition, two world wars within twenty years of each other, to the Reagan and Bush years, with Americans just grazing like sheep during every era. Clinton; however, sticks to a thirty year period and offers a very relevant explanation.
