Do pronouncements like this make John Edwards one of the dreaded “theocrats” the liberals keep ranting about?

Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards says Jesus would be appalled at how the United States has ignored the plight of the suffering, and that he believes children should have private time to pray at school.

Edwards, in an interview with the Web site Beliefnet.com, said Jesus would be most upset with the selfishness of Americans and the country's willingness to go to war "when it's not necessary."

"I think that Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring the plight of those around us who are suffering and our focus on our own selfish short-term needs," Edwards told the site. "I think he would be appalled, actually."

And Edwards no doubt has a Big Government solution to impose that theological pronouncement upon the rest of us – but the liberals just won’t care.
