Ever wonder why...
Ever wonder why....


...when the Dixie Chicks say how they feel about the Iraq war, they are berated and insulted in the vilest possible ways, but when folks criticize Gen. Boykin they are "abridging his free speech and are hateful, anti-religious, bigots?


...when someone brings crack rocks into rehab, every Bill Bennett type whines about the "moral bankruptcy" of "treatement oriented liberals, but when Noelle Bush does it, it's a "private family matter"?


...When Robert Downey Jr., struggling with Heroin addiction, slips and stumbles with his addiction and is called a "liberal Hollywood waste product, but when Rush Limbaugh does it, it is "okay" because perscription trank/happy pills are "legal"?

4. One of the reasons why
I stopped going to church when I was a teenager was because all of the hypocrites were the first ones at the alter for communion.
