We Americans need to take more control of our lives and situations.

Y...I'm not sure I understood what your pastor said. Yes, faith helps people in hard times. But people starved to death in the Great Depression and I'm sure some of those people were believing Christians. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, the politicians who got us into this mess got into office because they were supported by right-wing Christians whose only interests were banning gay marriage and abortion. We still have gay marriage and abortion, and we also have economic chaos, a vast and widening gap between the rich and the poor, a crumbling health care system, a poor reputation overseas, and a threat of global warming and environmental disaster. Most of this (not all, but most) is because of the policies of George W. Bush (who isn't really a Christian but pretended to be one to get votes) and radical right-wing Members of Congress, who, I'm guessing, many of you supported along with GW Bush. Am I wrong?Anne Rettenberg LCSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924529514196589677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-6738883492882865592008-10-01T00:46:00.000-05:002008-10-01T00:46:00.000-05:00Hi Susan,I wish for you and Mickey a wonderful tim...Hi Susan,<BR/>I wish for you and Mickey a wonderful time together as you celebrate this special anniversary together.
