I ended up leaving the ballot blank (for president), because in conscience I couldn't support any of the options. Those who supported Obama in spite of (rather than because of) his pro-choice stance don't deserve to be called "jackasses".Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056516915392913431.post-15017370938428813302009-01-16T13:46:00.000-05:002009-01-16T13:46:00.000-05:00this post was intended to garner comments - I've a...this post was intended to garner comments - I've added the clarification to identify the source.uncle jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879341171634900790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056516915392913431.post-13804430768056051302009-01-16T12:50:00.000-05:002009-01-16T12:50:00.000-05:00Is this the attitude of Christ, who said, "I have ...Is this the attitude of Christ, who said, "I have come not to judge the world, but to save it"? Have we, his followers, so lost sight of the preeminence of mercy and love in the gospel that we resort to comparing people to brute beasts? TWe are to love and respect those who do not agree with us no less because we disagree. Our arms and hearts are to be open to all that as many as possible might come. "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

I am still in shock, to be honest. That's how you are Christ to me. Not because of your pro-life stance, not because of your Catholic faith (though I'm still Catholic, believe it or not, though some would argue not), but because you love everyone without question.Buddhist, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777947611604831806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056516915392913431.post-29314216338348963872009-01-15T16:42:00.000-05:002009-01-15T16:42:00.000-05:00I don't know if the jackass name in particular is ...I don't know if the jackass name in particular is called for, but certainly I'm all for freedom of speech, and yours as well. I suppose I had so many reasons to distrust the other candidates, abortion stance notwithstanding, if that's even the right word, probably not. But if it makes me a jackass to you/the church/the public, that's OK. People call me a lot of names for being gay (or whatever, I hate labels).
