Subject: RE: BS: 2012 Presidential Election
I drive a lot through the Southern US. Having grown up on the CBC, I like to listen to people talk on the radio so I listen to NPR. Some places have no NPR. In other places NPR prefers to pollute the airwaves with classical music rather than play "The World", or "All Things Considered."

In one of those places, at one of those times. I heard an ad on "AFR" (American Family Radio) which presents itself to the Public and a Christian Broadcaster and as far as I know, presents itself to the Government a Church for tax purposes.

The radio ad went something like this. "Our critics say 'Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.' But we say how can we NOT speak out when so much is wrong."

They call themselves Christian, but pointedly deny in a radio ad, the most basic of his teachings. They are very successful and have a huge listener base. A large listener base whose anger blinds them to their own beliefs.
