Faith-based campaigning
January 27, 2007

Baloney

I am incredulous that anyone would fall for the baloney coming out of the camps of Democratic presidential hopefuls regarding their newfound religion ("Faith-based campaigning," Jan. 27). When Clinton and the rest stop proclaiming a woman's right to kill her baby and opposing pro-life legislation, perhaps then their actions will match their rhetoric. Part-time Christianity doesn't cut it and they need to end the charade.
—Ron Youngclaus; St. Louis, Mo.

The left has recognized that certain aspects of its political vision find some credence in Christian ethics. This is not altogether bad, so long as one realizes that no non-Christian political vision is a substitute for Christian ethics. Too many Christians have exchanged the politics of Jesus for the politics of Rush Limbaugh. I tend to vote Republican, but I appreciate what these folks are doing.
—Robert Dailey; Durham, N.C.
