ken; although i sympathize with your comment, i think you have christ confused with ghandi, and charity confused with socialism.

Give'em back to their captors...or better yet, turn them over for debriefing to say...the Egyptians.

Uh Ken, have you read the CPT website? These folks criticize that which is safe to criticize - the United States. They ignore that which might still in some sectors be unsafe to criticize - Saddam Hussein. When I read their web site I come away with the impression of a group which is quite self-righteous regarding their non-violent message. Not a real abdication of the ego that theologians like Bonhoeffer stated was necessary to maximize ones unity with God in the Christian message. Compared with the work of someone like Mother Teresa who humbly persisted whatever the political climate, I do not think Jesus would be overly impressed by the CPT. But you sound like a much truer Christian than me so you would probably have a better idea about that than I would.

Who cares if they are ungrateful. Its hard to change crazy peoples perspectives on life. I'm sure though that three of them might change their minds

Personally, I put more stock in General George S. Patton who said, "Nobody ever won a war by dying for their country, he won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his."

Oh, and did Ken really just say that Christians won (won! past tense!) the war of ideas by sacrificing themselves as martyrs? Charles Martel would no doubt have found this amusing.

But hey, at least Ken has his seat next to God reserved on judgement day to help weed out the true Christians from those who claim to be Christians and conservatives.

true christians, those who model their life after the life of Christ, are beyond your criticisms.

Then I do not want to hear one more word from Ken when a "true" christian advocates intelligent design, or pro-life policies, etc.

After all, they are BEYOND CRITICISM! So shut your yap.

Say what you want about them but true christians, those who model their life after the life of Christ, are beyond your criticisms.

Christian ideas did not win in the war of ideas through the sword but rather by people like Tom Fox sacrificing their lives for their belief without themselves resorting to violence.

I would not expect conservatives to understand what christianity is all about. They have already made up their minds to set themselves above their fellow man instead of as their servant, as was tought by Christ.

immediately release a second statement which praises the work of the military, the brave, selfless efforts of the individuals who executed the operation, and apologize for not recognizing them immediately upon hearing word of the rescue.

does too, but notes with smugness the CPT's revised release late last p.m. expressing thanks to the troops. Here's her post before the updated release came out. Hyscience, Relapsed Catholic, Big Pharaoh,Outside the Beltway, The Belmont Club and Stop The ACLU pile on. Blogs for Bush's Mark Noonan compares the CPT and other "peacemakers," which he puts in quotations, to isolationists pre-WWII. Jawa Report keeps an updated list of all U.S. hostages in Iraq.
