::::Of course we "judge", or at least "decide" when we vote.  However, when did "judge not... [lest ye be judged]" become a "liberal canard"?  I thought it was a warning in the Bible not to overstep our bounds?  Voting, of course, does not overstep them - we pencil in a space, or pull a lever.  That is not "judgment", it is an expression of personal opinion or preference or ideas.  Moving beyond that simple step, however, leads us into judgment territory, potentially.  When we should be humble and add commentary on ourselves as well as those we judge is an issue of personal ethics - or morality.  A good time to sit down with good words and contemplate.

::: I am a proud conservative, yet i find the line in the Obama article "President-elect Obama will likely become the first Muslim President, and may use the Koran to be sworn into office at his inauguration on January 20, 2009" to be a very presumptuous thing to say. This statement is based on absolutely no fact, and it is a wild accusation to say that he might use the Qur'an to be sworn in. There is no truth in this statement. Now, i repeat, I am a proud Republican, yet i find this to be offensive and ignorant.
