ONE love, blood, life
I was reading through the thread about possible restrictions on U.S. aid to Africa for the AIDS crisis, and once again something began to bother me that has been eating at me for a while. George W. Bush and his colleagues are fond of reminding all of us that the United States is a "Christian nation" (this of course is not true, despite the fact that Christianity is the dominant religion in the U.S., but never mind). However, very little that this administration has done seems to be consistent with the core of Jesus's teachings: to love our neighbors, to lift up the downtrodden, to be humble, etc. etc.
I'm sure all of you can come up with concrete examples in both directions, so tell me: is this really a "Christian" administration, or can I add "religious hypocrite" on to my list of unfavorable epithets for good ol' Dubya?
