I probably shouldn't do this...

I probably shouldn't post this as it is somewhat counterproductive to my wish that the Dems will fall in a ditch. None the less, I am offering liberals a clue. This is from a 1996 speach by Rev. Joe Wright to the Kansas House of Representatives:
"Heavenly Father, we come before you to ask your forgiveness. We seek your direction and your guidance. We know your word says, "Woe to those who call evil good." But that's what we've done.

We've lost our spiritual equilibrium. We have inverted our values. We have ridiculed the absolute truth of your word in the name of moral pluralism. We have worshiped other gods and called it multiculturalism.

We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle.

We've exploited the poor and called it a lottery. We've neglected the needy and called it self-preservation. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. In the name of choice, we have killed our unborn. In the name of right to life, we have killed abortionists.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem. We have abused power and called it political savvy. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it taxes. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, oh, God, and know our hearts today. Try us. Show us any wickedness within us. Cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of the State of Kansas, and that they have been ordained by you to govern this great state.

Grant them your wisdom to rule. May their decisions direct us to the center of your will. And, as we continue our prayer and as we come in out of the fog, give us clear minds to accomplish our goals as we begin this Legislature. For we pray in Jesus' name, Amen."

If you liberals really want to be able to communicate with "red America" then you need to be able to understand this speech. You don't have to agree with everything, but if you read any of this and beleive it to be uterly incomprehensible that a person would think this way, you don't stand a chance. I don't really believe that you want to have true morals, but since you are beginning to say that you do have them and/or do want them, herein lies some guidance. If you continue in any way to espouse "liberal values" and try to equate them to conservative morals but don't deal with the issues above, you're still headed for the ditch.
