Tuesdays with Morris

Right now I’m watching Rev. Samuel Rodriguez on Bill Moyers Journal on PBS. The interview isn’t up on the site just yet…but it probably will be within the next day or two. I suggest you check it out! Click HERE to go to Moyers Journal site.

Rodriguez is the President of the Hispanic Evangelicals. His interview with Moyers is great…especially when he talks about faith, politics, and social justice. Also, from the same episode, I suggest checking out the interview with Kathleen Hall Jamieson where she talks about James Dobson is backing Huckabee. Along those same lines, check out this article by Becky Garrison on that situation (and others).

In case you’re wondering what Dobson has to say about this election and don’t want to check out the links, read this: I am deeply disappointed the Republican Party seems poised to select a nominee who did not support a Constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage, voted for embryonic stem-cell research to kill nascent human beings, opposed tax cuts that ended the marriage penalty, has little regard for freedom of speech, organized the Gang of 14 to preserve filibusters in judicial hearings, and has a legendary temper and often uses foul and obscene language. …

But what a sad and melancholy decision this is for me and many other conservatives. Should Sen. McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for president in my lifetime. I certainly can’t vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama based on their virulently anti-family policy positions. If these are the nominees in November, I simply will not cast a ballot for president for the first time in my life. These decisions are my personal views and do not represent the organization with which I am affiliated. They do reflect my deeply held convictions about the institution of the family, about moral and spiritual beliefs, and about the welfare of our country.
