Keep the Republic

A blog dedicated to expressing faith in God, hope in America, and a conviction to preserve the principles on which the nation was founded. Benjamin Franklin, after the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, was asked by a concerned citizen of Philadelphia what type of government had been created after four months of closed-door meetings by the delegates; he responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."

More double standard

Some time back I posted concerning the seeming double standard of the silence when Democrats actively campaign in churches compared to the uproar whenever conservative churches speak about issues. It has happened again. According to this article, even the Associated Press described Kerry's speech in a church as "partisan." John Edwards spoke at a church in Ohio where he was introduced by the minister as a man who is "eventually going to be president of the United States."

Now, I do not believe there is anything wrong, under current federal law, with a candidate speaking at a church. The candidate is not to make pleas for votes, however, if my understanding is correct. How else to interpret the fans being held by these ladies if not Democratic electioneering in church? I will not hold my breath waiting for any consequences from what the Democrats are doing in these churches, however.
