Standing Up
Indeed, it is good to see when people stand up for what is right. Apparently people have been reading Ogre and are now trying to stand up and be heard. Two news articles today that show all is not completely lost.
First up is California Representative Duncan Hunter. This week he has called for Senator Harry Reid (Surrender Party,Even if you sincerely believe it to be true, your pronouncement of failure will undoubtedly be used by terrorist leaders to rally their followers — inevitably leading to increased attacks on U.S. and coalition forces.
Some might claim that this is just politics because Hunter is running for president. While that may be part of the reason for this, it still takes real guts to stand up and say what's right. There is no question that what Reid is doing IS providing aid and comfort to the enemy. And Reid knows it, but he doesn't care. Reid is with the rest of the Democrats -- against Bush at ANY cost. Good job, Mr. Hunter, to stand up as an elected official and tell it like it is. Next up is St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke. He resigned his position on a charity board because the charity openly supported abortion -- and that was at odds with his faith. In what was a difficult position, Mr. Burke was faced with supporting children through the charity -- and supporting abortion; or standing up for his principles against killing the unborn -- and not getting the charity money to the children. He said:
A Catholic institution featuring a performer who promotes moral evil gives the impression that the church is somehow inconsistent in its teaching
Absolutely outstanding. We need many, many more who claim to be religious, who will stand up for their beliefs -- no matter the cost. Other board members and the charity itself -- including Bob Costas, Sheryl Crow, and Event organizer Allen Allred all remained steadfast in their support for abortion. Good job, Mr. Burke. People, STAND UP for what you believe. Suffer the consequences, but do it with a clear conscience.

Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson stand up for what they believe.....
Of course, what they believe has no basis in the moral teachings of any religion.

If they were standing up for good, or even if they were consistent, that would be another story. Standing up for greed, corruption, and slavery (as they do) won't get any good words from me.
