"If you are not a hypocrite your standards are not high enough-aim higher" said one comic journalist.
Because it seems most days you can point to just about anyone in authority and see where their touted aspirations and self-labeling doesn't match the facts of their acts. Obama was the antiwar guy- a NOBEL Peace Prize winner even-- but we are still in Afghanistan and are still finding reasons to be there for another two years at least. (we still have suspended civil liberties and the patriot act and surveillance is still with us.)
The catholic church is for the best children's education but has spent three billion dollars (count the zeros $3,000,000,000.) on settlements to pay off people who screwed over children. Oh yeah-and they hate birth control and abortions, while birth control prevents abortions. Clearly. Jesus also was all about healing everyone he met, and some birth control forms prevent disease. Clearly. They are all about as many kids as you can have, except for the most spiritual of them who aren't allowed any. Half the babies born in the US now to women under age 30 are not in marriage so clearly people are having sex- at least half the country half the time outside marriage.
They are about love, except when they want to punish into doctrinal conformity in obnoxiously rude ways.
The Bible says and they preach pray for those in authority over you because God put them there for your benefit- and so the church just sues them all. Including the treasury department head who did nothing regarding the offending policy possibly- but he must have the bucks. We lost three bil. on child rape and harassment lawsuits so lets try to get some back from the US Treasury! (stand in line said the Chinese) So lets sue him poor tiny tim-the poor guy has already said he's on his way out and needs this like a hole in the head, like he had anything to do with it.
So what can you say looking at this lot of self-protecting people who would rather self-insure against child rape than help a girl out get contraception pills so she doesn't have to get an abortion because they don' t pay a salary that would support a single gal with a kid. Oh yeah- and she and anyone else pregnant would be fired because
of the 'religious exemption' -someone would give them a bible study to teach before firing to cover their tail and call them ministerial and they wouldn't get a reference for another job from being fired for 'misconduct.' Sexual misconduct. They would put that on their records for anyone who called. She would be mortified to explain why she left the prestigious catholic institution- perhaps one of only two or three hospitals in town. Everyone would talk. These people need a lesson.
Aim Higher.
You are ridiculously embarrassing.
