The state legislature wants to make it illegal to feed, cloth or administer medical aid to suspected illegal aliens? And make the children of aliens ineligible for citizenship (which thankfully falls under Federal, not state, jurisdiction)?
l think someone ought to remind Virginia that in the 17th century, the Roanoake Indians had a capitol punishment policy for illegal aliens, too. All those pesky Europeans kept landing boat after boat of undocumented workers up and down the Eastern seaboard.
It's time that people stop looking at Islam as a "warlike" religion and start examining how barbaric some "Christians" are behaving.
There's an IRS investigation into the tax-exempt status of All Saints Church in Pasadena, one of the foremost faith-based charitable institutions in Southern California, due to their their opposition of the war in Iraq based on their faith. They're almost single-handedly restoring the reputation of organized religion through their good works.
The First Congregational Church in Long Beach, also, is being threatened by the law, because the pastor considers it part of their Christian duty to allow the homeless to sleep undisturbed outside the church. Not inside the church, mind you, but outside. Doesn't that technically make all Americans equally guilty, if anyone, anywhere, must sleep outside? Of course, if any one is homeless or hungry, anywhere, aren't we all guilty anyway?
Instead of thumping bibles, maybe some of those in power should try cracking them open and reading 'em. There's a lot a good stuff to be found there (other than the slavery and misogyny and other icky parts).
This is why I should not have a second cup of Starbucks ...especially during a full moon.
