1.I am sorry that that Republicans and many Democrats venerate their party more than their country. Blind faith in any political, or government system is rarely healthy. 2.It appears that President Bush and the Republican Politicians have almost succeeded in convincing the American People that war is a good thing. How sad it was that our President chose to use our 9/11 tragedy as a tool for instilling fear and hatred in the American people. 3.I am saddened... Read more
by Dr. Stan Moody My book is my appeal to millions of American Christians who have been pushed out of an evangelical church that has lost its bearings in its worship of the American Dream of health, wealth, financial success and nationalism. Calling the evangelical church a “Christian Ghetto,” I seek to dismantle the foundation on which the Christian Right has built its power base — the illusion of u003c/p>nu003cp styleu003d”margin:0in 0in 0pt 0.5in”>u003cfont faceu003d”Garamond” sizeu003d”3″>It comes down to...

I have always been a Democrat. If my definition of the word Democrat were in the dictionary, it would simply say “The People”. (more…) Read more
Why America went into Iraq is something for the pundits, academics and the politicians to discuss into the next century. What has happened there since our arrival is something I can only hope will be fully realized and understood by the American public and every elected official in our country. From my personal experiences of living in Iraq for three years, I have concluded America’s leadership is solely responsible for the entire country of Iraq becoming a living hell of... Read more
My faith teaches me that “By your fruits are ye known." I think it's crystal clear by the fruits of Bush's actions as well as his administration's inactions, what the fruits of their labors are: death, corruption, destruction, cronyism, abuse of power, waste. I believe these all are accurate and appropriate adjectives. Again, in my faith, that just doesn't fly. The good tree cannot produce corrupt or evil fruit! And yet there is still a group that profess themselves to be Christians who remain loyal... Read more
The political fissures among evangelicals received high-profile treatment in the New York Times today. The frame was, essentially, out with old guard of orthodox righties; in with the new guard of heterodox evangelicals — conservative on the traditional issues yet utterly dedicated to so-called liberal issues. The death of the Rev. Jerry Falwell last week highlighted the fact that many of the movement’s fiery old guard who helped lead conservative Christians into the embrace of the Republican Party are...

At a press conference today, George W. Bush showed his true colors — again. This time, he fielded a question on whether he ordered his then-attorney Alberto Gonzales and then-Chief of Staff Andrew Card to go to John Ashcroft’s hospital bed to get sign-off on the NSA wiretapping program. As we know, Ashcroft was in intensive care at the time, under heavy sedation, and the acting Attorney General, James Comey, had refused to approve the program. So Card and... Read more
In a world ruled by a sovereign God, who knows but that Jerry Falwell was ordained to awaken the sleeping giant of faith through the demonstration of its alternative? (more…) Read more
Jerry Falwell, dead today at 73, was a rock star of the Christian right. He created Moral Majority. He founded Liberty University. He sued Larry Flynt. He outed a Teletubby. And no matter what one thinks of his politics, Jerry Falwell was an effective proponent of a right-wing political agenda. In Pat Robertson’s words, Falwell was a “tower of strength on many of the moral issues which have confronted our nation.” We at FaithfulDemocrats.com disagreed vehemently with Falwell... Read more
