Back on May 12, 2009 in I posted this article,
Torture and Hypocrisy, in which I concluded:
Show me a Christian who supports torture, and I’ll show you a liar, an imposter, and a hypocrite!
Along the same lines, this article,
My Mom Is a Torture Loving, Italian/Catholic, Fascist and Fox News Viewer, by Robert Corsini appears in today's The Public Record. It describes disturbingly well the deep disconnect in the philosophical outlook of the "Religious Right." The entire article should be read, but this paragraph is the heart of it:
People cannot support torture while claiming to be Christian—they are mutually exclusive. Just like fascism and democracy. Sorry Mom, I love you and your pasta, but you and masses of other right-wingers out there and not the Beatles, homosexuals, Muslims, hippies or rappers, have undermined the footing of American democracy.
