This Christian Blogger is NOT Jubilant

Blogs4God reports on all the jubilation....

"With control of the White House, House of Representatives, and probably the Senate as well, Republicans are entering a historic time in American history. For the most part, Christian bloggers are ecstatic. Here's a rundown of what some of the pundits had to say..."

I'm glad they put in the qualifier "for the most part",  because the ones who aren't jubilant are downright disgusted.   My take on the Republical agenda,  put very simply,  is that they are pretty clueless about the social effects of their policies,  and in general,  they don't believe that concerns about environment, larger corporate control,  social programs , etc. are of myuch value when it comes to where their dollars go.  They believe that economic growth and social welfare are synonomous,  which is news to the poor.  They believe that the best government leaves things alone --- yet there on a very selective set of issues----- and that what sells and makes the economy go will automatically help build a more "compassionate conservatism".  Why did Bush even have to use that line,  unless there was an audience out there who somehow got the idea that Republicans don't have as much compassion.  It all goes to where they put their money,  and they've always given a general , pretty widesprread sense that they believe that market forces are moral in and of themselves.   Check back again in another 5-10 years and see whether we have a more "Christian" society.
