Entangled

Sometimes “Christian” radio drives me crazy!! I was flipping channels when I came across a local radio personality complaining about how the Democrats are using the alleged torture to gain political advantage. (A charge I do not deny) However, in the process of doing so the radio talk show host actually defended the act of waterboarding saying that “some members of our own armed services are waterboarded as part of their training. If it’s so wrong, they should sue their own government.”

WHATTT!!!!!!!????!?!?!??!?!

Have we become so enmeshed with the Republican party that we forget our moral standards? Seriously?

I agree that the Democrats most likely knew about the torture tactics long ago, and that some of those who are calling for the investigations likely knew about this long ago. However, we can decry their political posturing without going so far as to DEFEND torture tactics.

Then as if that was not enough, she went on to make an example of Janet Napolitano (Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security) for commenting that crossing the border isn’t illegal per se. The talk show host then sardonically stated that she should read up on the laws that she is entrusted to enforce.

Are we sure that we want to jump up and down and scream about the masses of people entering our country illegally while tacitly supporting torture tactics? Is that the Christian posture we really want to have in the world?

Sometimes I wonder if we’ve lost our ever-loving mind.
