Re: Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's...

I don't follow Billy Tauzin closely. Trent Lott and Jerry Fallwell say some things that I don't agree with but generally we're on the same page. If I had to pick a spokeman it would be Ralph Reed or Billy Graham. Do you listen to what they say or just their reputations in the liberal world?
I have no idea what the "liberal world" is, unless you mean the mass media, and I don't find TV or Tabloids credible. I have always held Billy Graham in high regard, but I regard Ralph Reed as an opportunist, and Fallwell as a cynical buffoon. Trent Lott is tarnished by the company he keeps, Tauzin is corrupt, and a good example of why we need political reform. Bob Dole, Barry Goldwater, and William F. Buckley commanded respect, but this crop of conservatives has brought more corruption and abuse then anybody in memory, except Bill Clinton. They indulge a pornography of power, which is far more dangerous.
You can influence the laws with your moral beliefs, but you cannot impose them by fiat or manipulation. Christians also believe in honest business and government, so did conservatives, until they gained power. If you haven't noticed conservative values go down the tubes with the republican majority, you must not be paying attention.
