Unlikely Opposition

There's an anti-war protest commencing in Washington today, but it's not by who you'd think. No Birkenstock hippies, no alternative artists, no "pussy liberals," just Christians...pious, loyal Christians...the core of the modern Republican Party.

Hardcore Christians have always been strong supporters of the war, and of most of President Bush's policies, but like the rest of the country, even this demographic is turning against his war.

Good Christian people can see the immorality of this war. This is not a war of defense, nor is it a war to save people. It is no longer a war in anyone's interest. It is an aggravation to peace. It is pointless, there is no true victory here.

Perhaps these pious Christians, speaking the word of God (or what they think is the word of God anyway,) will finally get to the President.

Unfortunately he's not in Washington to listen to their voice...he ran to Camp David.
