Man returned to jail for having incorrect religious beliefs

May 4th, 2010 caleb No comments

Here’s an interesting blog entry from my favorite church (tongue-not-in-cheek) about a guy who had his parole revoked because he refused to go to a drug rehab program that had a strong religious component.

Check it out at the ULC.

Weekend Update: Yea, Al Franken. Boo to 30 male, republican, senators who voted to protect rapists.

January 16th, 2010 caleb No comments

Al Franken attached an amendment to a defense spending bill that would prohibit defense contracts going to companies that prohibit employees from suing the over sexual assault and other crimes.  Why is such an amendment needed?  Well, heh, our friend Halliburton covered up the case of Jamie Leigh Jones who was gang raped in Iraq, then Halliburton covered up the incident, and told her she would be out of a job if she told anyone about it.

So him, Al Franken, did what most reasonable people would do:  He said, “There should be a law against that.”  Thus was born said amendment.

In typical modern Republican style, fully 75% of the republicans voted against the amendment, and for protection of companies that cover up and protect rapists!  Seriously.

The Rapist protector protectors are:

Alexander (R-TN)
Barrasso (R-WY)
Bond (R-MO)
Brownback (R-KS)
Bunning (R-KY)
Burr (R-NC)
Chambliss (R-GA)
Coburn (R-OK)
Cochran (R-MS)
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
DeMint (R-SC)
Ensign (R-NV)
Enzi (R-WY)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Isakson (R-GA)
Johanns (R-NE)
Kyl (R-AZ)
McCain (R-AZ)
McConnell (R-KY)
Risch (R-ID)
Roberts (R-KS)
Sessions (R-AL)
Shelby (R-AL)
Thune (R-SD)
Vitter (R-LA)
Wicker (R-MS)

And the sane (for this vote anyway) republicans are:

Bennett (R-UT)

Collins (R-ME)

Grassley (R-IA)
Hatch (R-UT)
Hutchison (R-TX)
LeMieux (R-FL)
Lugar (R-IN)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Snowe (R-ME)
Voinovich (R-OH)

So, yeah for Utah — both senators Bennett and Hatch are republican and voted for it.  It’s great when people allow their interal moral compass override their political affiliation.  I’m no great fan of these guys in general, but they get some props from me this time around.

Why is it that the party that claims to be more religious, is clearly less moral?  The less religious party (democrats) have a straighter moral compass?

I suspect it’s that the republicans think they have a direct mandate from God, and therefore whatever they do is right.  Whereas democrats have to answer to people, not God, and thus think through their actions.

I dunno.
