ORIGINAL: FatDomDaddy Let's see if some intellectual honesty exists on the Left of the CollarMe now that Sister Nancy is being moved by the same God and Word that moved George W Bush. Fair is fair...So I followed the link and discovered this is what Nanci is quoted as saying... House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says she believes she must pursue public policies "in keeping with the values" of Jesus Christ, "The Word made Flesh." In other words, they plucked a fragment of a sentence out of something else and framed it with a bunch of their own interpretation. And of course, they didn't get any follow up. Here is the other part: May 6 Catholic Community Conference on Capitol Hill, the speaker said: “They ask me all the time, ‘What is your favorite this? What is your favorite that? What is your favorite that?’ And one time, ‘What is your favorite word?’ And I said, ‘My favorite word? That is really easy. My favorite word is the Word, is the Word. And that is everything. It says it all for us. And you know the biblical reference, you know the Gospel reference of the Word.” “And that Word,” Pelosi said, “is, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn’t it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word. “Fill it in with anything you want. But, of course, we know it means: ‘The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.’ And that’s the great mystery of our faith. He will come again. He will come again. So, we have to make sure we’re prepared to answer in this life, or otherwise, as to how we have measured up.” I couldn't find the full quote anywhere- the full quote where she says the gummint must abolish the 1st Amendment and institute a Talibangelical theocracy. So maybe if someone can do some more asture googling, we can have a discussion about it. But for the record, I am not in favor of anyone basing laws on anything other than a consensus of shared values, religious or not.
