A nice non-polemic, from the unofficial chaplain of Apple Christian
Fellowship :-)

We need to argue about the role of government. We need to argue about
all types of issues. Conservatives must not assume all advocates of
nationalized health care are
Communists. Liberals must stop using the "Nazi" of "Fascist" moniker
for all opponents of Barack Obama. Is anyone ready to debate fully the
merits of the plans before the Congress? More importantly, are we
ready to take personal responsibility to work with local and state
leaders to provide the services we deem compassionate?
I am a conservative. I reject abortion, infanticide and active
euthanasia. I affirm the brilliance of the free market system. I do
not believe, Mr. President, that our Constitution was flawed because
it did not address the issue of wealth distribution. The only flaw in
our Constitution cost us a Civil War.
More than being a conservative, I am a thoughtful Christian and I
believe that we can unite freedom and compassion. We must care for
single moms and children. We must tend to the elderly and infirm. We
must hold business leaders responsible for their ethics and all health
care providers have a moral obligation to offer the best possible
services to all their clientele. We must renew urban neighborhoods
with the help of clergy, business and civic leadership. We must see
the complexity of some issues (like certain farm subsidies) and the
simplicity of others (like 99% of abortions).
