Ruling With the Iron Fist of Hypocrisy
Stardate 4697.8
Bush picked Miers for two astonishingly impressive reasons. You may ask, perhaps it is her vast knowledge and experience with the posting she has been nominated for? Nope. Not it at all. Perhaps it is because she is the biggest Texas Rangers fan out there? Nope, as silly as that sounds however, it is much closer to the truth than the former statement. In fact, she has been nominated because of her close family bond with Georgie and her "religion is such a big part of her life". It seems to me that many of the people Georgie has been running around picking are not qualified for their positions at all. But they have some very common ideolgy that frankly should be kept out of ruling the most powerful western nation on the planet.
How can a group of people as devout religiously as half of the Bush administration and their cronies, be so dead set against abortion and yet they will not stand up to the mistreatment of prisoners? The destruction of an undeveloped foetus is obviously much more wrong than the inhumane treatment and TORTURE of living human beings. The Bush administration has recently said they are opposed to the Bill that outlines the stop of inhumane treatment of detainees... go figure.
Shouldn't the courts and laws of a land be based upon Social issues? As it stands now, what with the way the Supreme Court is being stacked now, that the laws will soon be based upon religious conviction. Don't get me wrong (as so many do when they read part of my post and do not understand my own beliefs), I have no problems with people being religious or having strong convictions about what they believe in. However, religion is a personal experience above all else. By placing people in positions to decide the Land's laws based upon their RELIGIOUS RESUME instead of their experience is preposterous.
Of course, God probably told George to nominate Mrs. Miers and who can argue with God?
