I'm Shocked! Shocked! that no religious conservative has defended Nancy Pelosi's trip to Syria. Didn't Jesus declare in the Sermon on the Mount that "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of God."
If Jesus himself blessed peacemaking in such strong terms, I can't understand why James Dobson, Gary Bauer, Sam Brownback, Mike Huckabee, and Tom DeLay have not fallen over themselves to endorse Pelosi's peace initiative.
Needless to say, the last thing that the religious right cares about is anything that Jesus said on issues like turning the other cheek or sacrificing oneself for the good of others. Following their most important saint, Ronald Reagan, the right might still think that "peacemaker" is a good name for a missile.
