Wil's Rant

Once again the republicans in the U.S. have become flooded with the results of their own double talk and double standards. Despite the never-ending series of lectures delivered to the rest of the American public on their lack of morality, yet another scandal has engulfed them. And not just any republican but an evangelical leader. The evangelicals have the notoriety of perhaps having even more hypocrisy than the republican party for the long list of dirty deeds that have come out about the same people who have been moralizing to the rest of us for years. In this case the man has been denying the reports since they came out, but wait a minute, he's now saying that he in fact did break the faith so to speak. Now there's a surprise, as if there was anyone other than the evangelical republicans who didn't already know this. I have long had no trust whatsoever for the dialing-for-dollars approach to spirituality so typical of the evangelicals. This hasn't exactly restored the faith.
