Go-Harley,
I don't think that the republicans will be worry much about these folks in the future. Leaving out Rumsfeld, the rest of these people would not be allowed into a room with any of the conservatives I know. And AntyM, there are lot of Christians that feel the way you say, but my guess is that most of them are republicans. The word Christian means to be Christ-like and I don't think that any of the forementioned items would be included as such. The problem with present day Christianity is much like, in my opinion, Modern day Islaam. Most Christians don't act like Christ or follow his principals, giving Christianity a bad name. In the case of Islaam, the opposite seems to be true. Most Moslems also take a soft approach to the Koran. While the Koran is not as extreme as many of the terrorists, liberals are joking if they think true Islaam can ever get along with Western Christianity or Isreal. A true reading of the Koran, from what I understand, requires the death and destruction of all who do not follow its truths. This is a little off topic, so, that being said, I am sure that a similar list of liberals could be found. Is it your stance that the list is only shocking because it is of conservatives? If so, does this mean that such behavor is acceptable amoung democrates or liberals? Perhaps we should ask people like Woody Allen, who marries his own quasi-stepdaughter, or Victor Salva, a convicted Child molester, how they were able to be so easily forgiven by the Hollywood elite.
I am sorry that I don't have a full list of liberals that deserve to be tossed off the face of the earth, along with the republicans that you mentioned, but I am sure if I had the time it could be done.
If you really want to make a republician worry, ask him why he is against gay Marriage. Then, when he tells you it is to protect the sanctity of Marriage, ask him to sign a petition outlawing no-fault divorce. You will find out real quick how few true Christians and true conservatives there really are. The rest are nothing more than what you are railing about. Weak, cowardly people, who try to act righteous but accept everything so as not to bring condemnation upon themselves.
I know, this is a long rambling post, but I guess what I am trying to say is: 1. Republicans don't condone this activity, and certianly not as much as some factions of the liberal wing. 2. Yes, there are lots of hypocrites out there. The fact that there are hypocrites does not destroy the truths of fundemental values. 3. True Christianity should never make allowances for sinful actions, only forgiveness upon renouncing and giving up such actions, and hope for a life free of such actions.
4. I admit that the republican party, along with Western Christianity, needs to gets its act together.
