By beginning and ending their moral arguments in someone else's bedroom, the Republican right leaves itself vulnerable to attack on a variety of fronts. How can conservative Christians denounce homosexuality so loudly while barely uttering a word about Abu Ghraib, which Rush Limbaugh dismissed as "fraternity hazing"? Why do those who say they want to protect the sanctity of life focus only on abortion, and not the loss of innocent life in Iraq or the fate of the innocents facing capital punishment?
And how can it be moral, in the richest country in the world, that millions of children can't even be taken to the doctor when they are sick because their parents have no health care?
Such questions give the Jimmy Carter Democrats an opportunity to move the issue of morality out of the bedroom and into the boardroom. After all, greed shares equal billing with lust on the list of seven deadly sins.
~Will main-stream media acknowledge 'dueling' Christians? They haven't yet. So far US Christianity appears as monolithic as Islam.
