The Examined Life

So, You Want a Good Christian President?

Good! I'm glad! You have made a wise choice.

Let's keep those Jews and Mormons and secular humanist agnostics out of the White house!

Now, I spent a number of years studying the Christian religion, and the message of Jesus which I find most outstanding is to "love your enemies and forgive them."

So, if Saddam Hussein was our enemy, we should love him, forgive him, and turn the other cheek. Right? Isn't that what Jesus taught us? Or, am I somehow confused.

So, simple question:

President George Bush (the son, not the father), is a good Christian, who even promotes faith based policies, then, in his 8 years in office, which enemy was it, exactly, that he loved and forgave?

I mean, it certainly wasn't Karla Fey Tucker on death row in Texas. Under the law, the Governor of Texas, Bush, could only have granted a 30 day stay of execution, while an appeal was investigated. But Bush wouldn't even do that! Come on now! Be honest! If Jesus were a governor, and someone on death row asked for a 30 day postponement, what would Jesus have done?
