Religious and Political Integrity

There's a disconnect between Liberal politicians and their professed religious beliefs. We have politicians like the late Ted Kennedy that was Catholic and supported abortion, and Nancy Pelosi that supports abortion and other un-Catholic ideas. She's even been chastised by the Pope, and then lied about even that.

I wonder, if you claim to be of a particular faith, why run as a politician with an agenda antithetical to that faith? I have the same problem with Jews that as a block support the anti-Israel, antisemitic Democrat party; or Blacks that vote Democrat in block when the Democrat Party subjugates Blacks with the view that they don't have what it takes to be successful and must depend on the State. Victims.

The word "integrity" comes from the Latin "integer", to be whole, complete. Integrity is to have consistency of values, beliefs and principles. A hard thing to do. If you fail in presenting integrity, then you're a hypocrite.

I have to wonder why Statist politicians that advocate for abortion when their Church and Faith is against it aren't called hypocrites. Yet when someone that is not a Statist falls short of living up to their stated beliefs, they are called a hypocrite. I'm thinking of the non-Statist politician that has an affair, or is outed as a homosexual, or is caught coming out of a strip club. They are hypocrites. The Statist politician that claims adherence to a Faith that doesn't practice it, is not a hypocrite. They are given a pass on non-traditional, even deviant behavior.

Liberal politicians embrace the Marxist secular view, present that to the public, and justify the disconnect between religious belief and political belief by saying they don't want to subject their constituents to their own religious beliefs. Why run advocating positions antithetical to your professed Faith? I have to ask, if you don't fully embrace the tenants of your religion, and have integrity between political and religious world views, why state you do? If your ethics and morality are situational, why not just state you believe in situational ethics? Obviously to gain power and money. I would like to see politicians like Catholic Pelosi and Lieberman (an orthodox Jew) actually say they put the State before God. That would be integrity.

I would like too for non-Statist politicians that claim adherence to religious beliefs to keep their pants zipped for one, and adhere to other correct religious behaviors at least while in office. If you can't, don't run. Statists get a pass, religious people don't.

Non-Statist politicians advocating for traditional values, for the rule of law, for the Constitution which makes it clear in its own language that our freedoms are granted by God, must absolutely live according to those beliefs and values. Not to do so imperils Liberty just as much as Statists enforcing Marxist ideology.

Some nonsensical rambling from the hypocrite Pelosi
