Santorum doesn't believe in a liberal Christian

That's right. When Santorum was asked if he believed President Obama was a "sincere liberal Christian," Santorum responded with, "I don't think there is such a thing." He continued with, "To take what is plainly written and say that 'I don't agree with that, therefore I don't have to pay attention to it,' means you're not what you say you are. You're a liberal something, but you're not a Christian."

That's right. If a person is considered "liberal" when it comes to social issues (or perhaps even economic ones), they can't be a legitimate Christian. I just can't believe that people actually listen to this garbage and think he's telling the truth. I'm not a Christian. I'm not an anything when it comes to religion. But it drives me crazy when Rick Santorum and his like claim to be devout Christians, to be one with Christ and to be affiliated with the party of Christ. If a person believes in gay marriage, they can't be a Christian. If a person is pro-choice, they can't be a Christian. If a person is against the death penalty, supports raising taxes on the rich, supports welfare, they can't be a Christian.

So, let me get this straight, Rick Santorum believes he's speaking for God, is the candidate most in touch with God, representing the party most representative of God's word? He's a sinner (according to The Bible), yet is going to lay claim that people who believe certain things, fellow sinners, can't be Christian like him? He's going to base this on interpretation over words he never wrote himself? I'd think what he's doing is more un-Christian that those evil liberals. You know, Mitt Romney may flip flop harder than a sumo wrestler off a diving board. Ron Paul may have a few screws loose. Newt Gingrich may have screwed more women than Gene Simmons in his prime. Rick Santorum, though? He's fricking nuts! I'm sane and I approve this message.

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html
