Sean Hannity asked Franklin Graham tonight why "on the one hand" some people have risked their lives to help the hurricane victims while "on the other side, we have looting, shooting, rape and mayhem."
Graham answered, "Of course, Sean, this happens in a country when we have taken God out of our schools and God out of our society. We don't have a moral standard and we need to put God back into our schools."
Best comment response ever:
Sarcastro-
As a vertebrate, I'm embarrassed by remarks like that.
And still more:
From WorldNetDaily: There's looting in New Orleans because liberals took the Ten Commandments out of school.
Also from WND: the hurricane struck to prevent homos from having a party.

At any rate, yeah, politics has become some sort of bizarre spectator sport where everyone is on a team and must support that team regardless of what stupid, assinine things they do. It's absurd that it's come to this, not surprising necessarily, but deeply, deeply sad.
