Just read a great article on the shift of religious loyalty away from the Republican party. I've felt for a long time that the blind faith many fellow Christians seem to place in the Republican party can be a bit fanatical at times. Granted, they represent my personal values more then the Dems, but there are several issues in which we are worlds apart. The administration's fiscal policies and tax ideals are a few.
So what it all boils down to is the fact that God is neither Democrat nor Republican, we are. Perhaps God is just as happy to work through one as the other?
Read the article here.

She’s at it again!
“A source close to the controversy over the request made by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for use of a military plane that can fly to and from her home district in San Francisco without having to stop to refuel, told ABC News that the Pentagon has rebuffed Pelosi's request.” (ABC News)
Isn’t it just like a SF liberal to pretend to champion the impoverished by claiming to be “just an average, everyday person” at the same time as trying to get a personal aircraft to fly her non-stop home from Washington? Meanwhile, her “average, everyday” fellow citizens have to deal with cramped seats, long waits and several stopovers for the same trip. The current aircraft that’s been used for years in this role is the Gulfstream IIV, a comfortable twelve passenger twin engine jet the flies just over 500 MPH. It’s cost of operation is around $1700 per hour. The aircraft Madam Pelosi is requesting is a C-32, “a very luxurious and specially configured version of the Boeing 757-200 commercial airliner.” This aircraft can cost as much as $22,000 per hour to operate! It’s usually used by the First Lady, the President, Vice President or cabinet members upon special request.
Herein lies my biggest beef with Democrats: their constant and unwavering backing of socialistic leaning agendas to be forced on the American people while the politicians themselves live a perfectly capitalistic lifestyle. Any group of people who are that hypocritical won’t last long without reinvention!
