<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It seems to me that your notion of the Gospel with regard
to illegal aliens is flawed. Do you believe that should a thief break into your
home it's your obligation to give him a hot meal and pay to have the hand he cut
breaking your window stitched up? Maybe some dental care for him and his family
while he's there? Heck as long as he's sitting on your sofa why not arrange for
a little in state tuition at the local diploma mill and offer to pay
expenses not covered by grants. By my reckoning it's not Christian charity if my
compassion is forcibly extracted at the point of a gun, be it in the form
of increased taxes by the government or an actual felon with a firearm. Charity
should be an individual thing from the heart. Also, I'm no biblical scholar but
I'm fairly sure that the Bible does not preclude a sovereign country having
secure borders.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>My point wasn't that doctrine has a place in a presidential
campaign, but that I thought it was sad that so many conservative evangelical
Christians find confirmation and comfort in their faith by being pissed off at
undocumented immigrants. <BR><BR>Keely<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>

I have to ask - why would any of the Gospel be part of a candidate's
priority? I mean, if we get in a fundamentalist such as Doug - that
just sets me teeth on edge. <BR><BR>No matter what candidate wins in
the end, it should be the benefit of the entire country, no matter a
person's income, that is priority. We should be concentrating on
getting our country up and running again, getting OUR kids fed, OUR people's
medical needs met, OUR country's goods sold, etc. The more money and
efforts we expend on the rest of the world just seems to be going down the
drain and the only return we are seeing is OUR people constantly being
targeted for killing, maiming, destruction of all sorts and measures.
<BR><BR>Our country must get back to protecting what's ours and then we can
offer help to those in other parts of the world with what's
left.<BR><BR>Sorry for the hard-nose approach, but really, after fighting
and seeing my friends die for OUR country only to see the
Administration/Powers-that-be give it all way, is getting old and needs to
stop if we are to survive this century in one piece. <BR><BR>J

CNN projects Mike Huckabee as the GOP caucus winner in Iowa, followed by
Romney, then Thompson. On the Democratic side, Edwards, Obama and
Clinton are fairly evenly matched and only Bill Richardson has made any
statistically notable waves among the second-tier candidates.<BR><BR>I've
been for Edwards since he announced, and while I would be happy with
any of the Democrats (except for Kucinich and Gravel), I would be ecstatic
if we had an Edwards/Obama or Edwards/Richardson, or an Obama/???, ticket
in 2008. And two great things happen on January 20, 2009 -- my son
turns 20 (he was born on the final day of the Reagan administration) and
the days of the Bush presidency are no more. <BR><BR>On a final
note, I'm dismayed that several commentators have noted that the GOP
voters who identify as evangelicals consider illegal immigration their top
issue. It would be wonderful if their top concern was justice and
opportunity for the poor, but I'm guessing that the gospel of Glenn Beck,
Lou Dobbs, Laura Ingraham and Pat Buchanan has trumped the Gospel of that
other guy . . . <BR><BR>Keely<BR><BR><BR><BR>
