BLESSED ARE THE. . . .

President Obama has attended the Christian prayer breakfast. And he says that his faith is part of his strength, or something like that.

No doubt he prays "Blessed are the Peacemakers" every morning as he spends another billion dollars bombing people in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Is there a special prayer for people who run concentration camps? Is there a special prayer he says to absolve himself of guilt for the imprisonment and torture of Bradley Manning?

Does he have a biblical reference to justify his acceptance of American greed as a way of life?

There is so much about our way of life that is absolutely opposed to what Jesus taught. And Jesus condemned hypocrites twenty times for every time he mentioned any other sin. But Christianity in the United States is utterly hypocritical.

I wonder if any of the Christians at the prayer breakfast thought about giving the food that was served to the hungry and the poor? Or as the left, maybe giving their coats to some poor people who don't have coats? Or . . . .
