I didnt read the Hosana article and havent commented on it. you commented on my post about Joe Lieberman and all you found interesting enough to comment on was that I called Joe a neocon, when I probably should have called him insane. comparing Hagee to Moses.

Quote:

"Even Moses fell short of God's expectations. He made a mistake and hit the rock rather than speaking to it as God commanded. His sister, the prophetess Miriam, sinned too when she spoke badly about Moses. But this didn't make Moses and Miriam bad people or failed leaders. Their shortcomings were only part of the larger fabric of their remarkable lives of faith and service." ...

And that's why I would say Moses and Miriam were fortunate that they did not live in the merciless attack-counterattack political culture of our time which would undoubtedly have stressed their shortcomings and ignored their great deeds. I can only imagine what the bloggers of their day would have had to say about Moses and Miriam.

It's easy to condemn someone you don't know. It's easy to take to the airwaves, or type up a blog post, and just like that, write off the life and work of another human being you've never met, on the basis of a sound bite you just heard or an old video you have just seen. That is the world that we live in."

Joe, as everyone knows, has been a strong advocate of bombing Iran.

Recruit Joe Lieberman for 2008. Twice in the last quarter-century we had the good fortune to see presidents elected who were sympathetic to our understanding of the world. In 2008, we will have a lot on the line. The policies that we have championed will remain unfinished. The war on terror will still have a long way to go. The Democrats have already shown that they are incurably addicted to appeasement, while the “realists” among the GOP are hoping to undo the legacy of George W. Bush. Sen. John McCain and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani both look like the kind of leaders who could prosecute the war on terror vigorously and with the kind of innovative thought that realists hate and our country needs. As for vice presidential candidates, how about Condoleezza Rice or even Joe Lieberman? Lieberman says he’s still a Democrat. But there is no place for him in that party. Like every one of us, he is a refugee. He’s already endured the rigors of running for the White House. In 2008, he deserves another chance--this time with a worthier running mate than Al Gore.

Based on the substantial foreign policy speech he(McCain) gave in March 2007 to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, the following is a brief summary of positions that are pretty moderate--hardly the Neocon monster suggested by Leftist bloggers and pundits. These are so "scary" that even Democrats like Lieberman can get behind them.

Gosh! even Joe Lieberman? Fascinating.
