…that is, those the doctors fed my mother before I was born so that I had to be placed in an incubator for several days (I was born on time, just a bit too high for a newborn).  Or maybe it was the fact that they couldn’t get me to church until the eighth day—cause something has made much of what I see in this country truly incomprehensible to me.

There are so many examples lately, or even over the years, but I really can’t fathom how the people of this country put up with crap like the Karl Rove fiasco.  Why does he still have a job?  It simply doesn’t matter if he technically committed a crime or not. 

Or stuff like this:

one god, two standards at Night Light.  From the WaPO yesterday:

The state suspended the licenses of two church-affiliated day care
centers where children allegedly were sexually molested, forced to eat
worms and pick each other’s noses during employee-led games of "Truth
or Dare."

The former director of the day care centers, Joshua Palin, 25, has been charged with molesting 10 children, some of them during what investigators said were twisted games of Truth or Dare. He is the son of the affiliated church’s pastor.

Yes, non-religious people commit these sorts of heinous crimes too.  But, and this is a mighty big but, the Christian right doesn’t emit a peep when it is one of their own.  Why is that?

Sure is amazing the level of crime that a good, upstanding, Christian white boy (or girl) can get away with in this country.
