Justice DeLayed

Before Tom DeLay (R Texas) is convicted and locked up where he belongs we the people should impose a severe hypocrisy tax on the man who piously proclaims that Christianity is the only real religion.
“Tom DeLay may look as though he's finished because he is quitting Congress, facing a trial on felony political corruption charges in Texas and being targeted by federal prosecutors in the Jack Abramoff scandal. But that would be dead wrong: DeLay recently told one of his pastors that God wanted him to leave Congress in part because He has bigger plans for DeLay. That pastor, the Rev. Rick Scarborough, introduced DeLay to a Christian conference just last week, saying, ‘This is a man, I believe, God has appointed . . . to represent righteousness in government.’”
How do these people define righteousness? What perversion of Christianity embraces a system that encourages the “haves” to neglect the poor in an obsessive effort to join the “have mores?”
The moral of the story seems to be that greed and corruption are synonymous with the type of faux “Christianity” that so many millions practice today.
Can anyone count how many times Mr. DeLay proclaimed ours to be a nation of laws? The gullible masses will continue to believe anyone who is comfortable using the jargon of the religio-industrial complex. Proving that none are so blind as they who will not see, the faux christian leaders use Biblical verses, usually using the language of the King James version for theatrical effect, to pander to the greed and xenophobia of those who like to believe that our God discriminates against two of the children of Abraham. The belief that the creator of the universe would pick one ethnic group to favor above the rest says a lot about the heart that chooses to believe in such an injustice. Any parent who favors one child over another is a bad parent. Such favoritism is a human invention.
