Where is Walter Cronkite?  Edward R. Murrow?  Etc.?  Who are these monsters with mics growing out of their ears at CNN?;  Raising obsurb points, questions, anything to keep you tuned?  Have any studied American society, history, culture, to help us understand the greatness of the true America?  Or are they idiots that have only studied and been primed to keep your attention until the next commercial?

Do we even know of the reporters of newspapers and networks that have editors that have the independence to state what they see without regard to the corporations that have the largest ad investments?  THE ONLY HOPE FOR AMERICA IS THAT A MAJORITY OF US WILL LOOK FOR THE UNADULTERATED TRUTH AND VOTE ACCORDINGLY.  I AGREE; IT IS THE LESSOR OF 2 EVILS, BUT THAT’S ALL WE HAVE UNTIL WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.  IF WE DON’T GET INVOLVED, IF WE ACCEPT THE SPOON FEEDING OF THE IGNORANT REPORTERS, HIP SHOOTERS, AND PREACHERS, WE DESERVE OUR FALSE CONCLUSIONS AND WILL SUFFER THEIR CONSEQUENCES.

Rome eventually fell, but I believe that you will search to know the truth (not that I know yet) and vote accordingly.  THE ICE CAPS ARE MELTING, A MAJORITY OF SCIENTISTS SAY WE ONLY HAVE 6 to 8 YRS TO TURN IT AROUND, AND WE, IF WE HESITATE, MAY NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN OUR STUPIDITY TO OUR GRANDCHILDREN (I’ve already had to do that).

THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN WE WILL FAIL AS A CULTURE AND NATION.  IS IT NOW, OR WILL WE POSTPONE IT THROUGH OUR ACTION?

Dear MK,

Yesterday I challenged you to help me monitor faith’s role at this week’s Democratic National Convention – we will have another challenge for the Republicans next week. But, we need to be ready to ask candidates at all levels important questions about their views on the intersection of religion and government.

Today, Interfaith Alliance introduces new online resources with 5 questions to ask every political candidate.

As religion plays an increasingly prominent role in American politics, preserving the boundaries between religion and politics is more important than ever.

We want you to ask the candidates for every level of political office:

• What role will your faith or values play in creating public policy or making appointments?
• What are your views on the boundaries between religion and government?
• What steps will you take to protect the rights of your constituents regardless of faith or belief?
• How will you speak about your beliefs without making them just another political tool?
• How will you balance the principles of your faith and your obligation to defend the Constitution, particularly if the two come into conflict?

Visit www.interfaithalliance.org/5questions to watch videos from me about why we need the answers to all of our 5 questions, and read more about each one. I hope you will post your perspective – and stories about asking one of the 5 questions to our candidates – in the comments section for each of the 5 Questions.

Stop.

Wildfires scorch the West, floods pound the Heartland and tropical storms slam the Gulf Coast. Elsewhere, the United States leads wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There’s chaos in Pakistan. Russian troops occupy tiny Georgia. Iran test-fires missiles, while North Korea grudgingly begins nuclear disarmament. Genocide consumes Darfur. Poverty and disease blanket Africa. Israelis and Palestinians struggle still. A failed White House bid against George W. Bush in 2000 put this man — with his white hair, rapid-fire pace and quick wit — on the national political scene. Tall, trim and easygoing, Obama rocketed onto the national stage as a U.S. Senate candidate who gave a stirring keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Both McCain and Obama are senators, fathers and husbands. Both talk of faith, family and freedom, patriotism, purpose and pride.

McCain is the elder, Obama the youth. McCain is white, Obama black. McCain is a political veteran, Obama still a virtual rookie.

McCain has largely a conservative Senate voting record, while Obama’s is mostly liberal — and their proposals for the future essentially adhere to those ideologies.

On war and peace, McCain is a hawk, Obama a dove. On economics, McCain is a free-market advocate, Obama a “fair-market” proponent. On cultural issues, McCain opposes abortion rights, while Obama supports them.
