The Prince of Preemptive War
The following quote, from an interview with Jimmy Carter in the CSM, had me in stitches:
Asked how his views of Christianity differed from those of Mr. Bush, the former president said, "I wouldn't want to criticize President Bush's Christian faith.... I don't have any doubt he is very sincere about his Christian faith."
But what followed was pointed. "I have a commitment to worship the Prince of Peace, not the price of preemptive war. I believe Christ taught us to give special attention to the plight of the poor. In my opinion this administration, I am not talking about President Bush personally, has committed itself to extol the advantages of the rich."
Jon Stewart eat your heart out.
