You Can't Have It Both Ways, Joe

From guest blogger Mary Linehan:

The Fourth Commandment is, “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy."

Holy, which may be a foreign word and concept for progressives, is defined in the Jewish faith as, “to sanctify, to separate from the world and to consecrate or dedicate to God” In the Oxford American Dictionary it is defined as, “sacred or devoted to the service of God." Joe Lieberman remembers his Sabbath that falls on every Saturday.

He was just praised for walking to the Capital on his Sabbath to take part in a Senate floor vote, but technically, he should not have done so since it is a secular act. No work is to be done on this day of rest. Yet, Lieberman felt compelled to cast the deciding vote on a bill that would push forward the progressive (neo-communist) agenda and cost the American people an additional 1.1 TRILLION dollars on wasteful spending.

One might be fooled into believing this gentle looking man is holy and righteous because he keeps the outward appearance of practicing his faith, but doing God work means that it is done each day on every level of life.

It means doing the right thing when pressured to do otherwise. It is being truthful to the principles that define one’s character and fulfilling the oath to uphold and defend the Constitution that was promised with a hand placed on the Bible. What was so revealing in this premeditated act of duplicity was his willingness to add insult to the injury by casting that vote with a mocking grin.

Lieberman cannot have it both ways. He cannot profess to support our nation under God while taking an active part in its demise. God may forgive him, but we the people will not!
