Hypocritical Republicans

I just found my first blog called "Musings" which I reread and published. I was rather amused at how prescient it was regarding the hypocrisy of religion and politics.
The latest in a long and frankly, annoying string of moral "oops's" by the Republican Governor of South Carolina, Mark Sanford, eloquently illustrates the point I made in my last blog.
I moved to the U.S. in 1980 from Europe and was immediately dismayed at the electoral choice. From the start, it was obvious Ronald Reagan was a mouth piece for special corporate interests set on breaking labor unions, a friend to the very wealthy and most disturbingly, a champion of the "Grand Hypocrisy" known as the Moral Majority. (By the way, we truly owed the end of the cold war to Gorbachevs' courage, not Reagans'). For the past thirty years, it has been proven time and time again ad nauseam how this vocal political faction has been neither moral, nor a majority. And what is today's political product of this moral majority? How about Sarah Palin! Ignorant to a fault on international relations, clueless about the economy and worse, defender of religious zealots everywhere! Somehow, America has been duped into believing that adultery, homosexuality, abortion, stem cell research, etc. has any place at all in the American political arena.
I used to cringe every time I heard Jerry Falwell speak because to me, he sounded like a self righteous, hypocritical, cruel and judgemental man. Pretty much everything Jesus Christ told us not to be! Like so many after him, what goes around comes around and he was caught with his pants down. Rush Limbaugh's day is coming...
So, this brings us back to Mark Sanford and all those other Republican hypocrites. But, you say, the Democratic representatives have been guilty of these sins. Yes, but they (for the most part) don't run around telling everyone they are going to hell for being who they are. And. by the way, adultery is mentioned in the Ten Commandments whereas I see no reference to homosexuality. The few lines here and there in the bible are within the historical context of an era which was strongly condeming slavery and the selling of young children, boys and girls, to serve as sexual toys. In my opinion, that is the true point of the few references in Deuteronomy, etc.
When is America going to wake up and leave the medical issues to doctors, the sex issues to individuals and families, the scientific experiments to specialists and most of all, the judging of people to God. Can I get an Amen? Cm'on people rise up...do not let these hypocrites run our lives!!!!!
