True belief or just political?


When the incident broke about Rep. Foley (R) FL, I thought for sure that the religious right, to at least be consistent, would abhor such acts and publicly dennounce. As of yet they have not even put out an email:

Focus on the Family derides those who support a woman’s right to choose as “predators” and those who seek to expand tolerance to gay and lesbian Americans as “anti-family”. The Family Research Council claims that homosexual adoption puts children at risk, despite contradictory findings by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

On Friday, after the Foley debacle erupted, the Family Research Council’s daily email alert lacked any mention of Foley and instead praised Sen. Frist for puting forth a bill that would erode a woman’s right to control her own body...Their silence speaks volumes.

They should say something even if it's their guy. If you don't stand for this kind of behavior then say so or if you feel that it's not a big deal then say that as well, but for God's sake have some balls!

On a side note what makes this story all the more ironic was this guy was the Chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus. (That just says it all doesn't it)
