About That "Jesus Was A Community Organizer" Quip
It may be cute, but it is both wrong AND offensive. I don't care if it is uttered by a
Democrat strategist, a
Jewish Congressman, or
a supposedly objective journalist.
The point of the comment is to equate Obama and the Democrats with Christ and Palin and the Republicans with Pilate.
Why is it wrong?
First of all, because Jesus was the Son of God who came to die for our sins and redeem the world, after a career preaching the importance of bringing man's ways into conformity with the ways of God.
Second, because Pilate was, first and foremost, the agent of the world's largest welfare state (bread and circuses, anyone), one that wanted its religious leaders subordinate to the power of the state as a condition of holding their offices and receiving the benefits thereof.
Now tell me -- which of these two sounds like he'd be at home among the Republicans, and which one would fit best among the Democrats?

There's another comparison that truly frosts me, Greg.
Even if we leave out Christ's spiritual position, which was considerable, he was a Rabbi and teacher who specifically
never sought political power. To compare him with a pestilential agitator who's 'job' was to wheedle the government out of tax dollars is not only blasphemous but factually incorrect.
As for Pontius Pilate,his actual job was PROCURATOR of Judea,NOT `governor'. A procurator was an official APPOINTED ( not elected,i.e Governor Palin) to administrate a conquered territory by the Roman empire.
I suppose this little catchline was supposed to show how 'spiritual' the Donkeys are....

Canadian Health&Care Mall started as a multistore based in Toronto and Ottawa in early 90s. Health&Care chain store system has been growing from year to year and finally has resulted in the current online project, as a result of operating not just as a family pharmacy but also as a store of so-called "useful things" . We tried to obtain the benefit from our previous experience and to create a really competing online resource for absolutely any customer. Though the idea is standard you may be absolutely sure that the filling is unique and has no analogues all over the Internet. We would like to admit that our online store is operating independently from the offline store system.
