This seems to be the communicate for the disgraced but comfort in office Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) one can almost comprehend the glee with which this reliably left-of-center cover views the slightest mis-step by any conservative Republican. The essence:
Sen. Larry Craig went on vacation with his wife Wednesday according to aides as calls for his resignation intensified. Republican leaders stripped him of his committee assignments and give in his home state appeared to be eroding. In Washington two Republican senators said their colleague should resign. “My opinion is that when you appeal guilty to a crime you shouldn’t answer,” Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) told CNN. Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) agreed and announced that he will give to a charity $2,500 in campaign funds his office had received from Craig.
Sen. McCain is correct. But it isn’t just moral grounds that should result in Craig’s ouster now that he’s outed himself. If it were just any guy caught trolling for homosexuals in a public toilet it wouldn’t matter. In fact the libertarian in me says it’s nobody’s business what a homosexual does so desire as he doesn’t hit on me. As a Christian of cover. I’d advise him to stop sinning…more on this below.
Craig is that special species of Washington homosexual: a big fat hypocrite. He casts himself as a conservative not libertarian and votes the social conservative lie. Which is fine by me; it’s how I’d vote were I in the Senate. But to vote this way and still give in to those homosexual urges shows two things.
First. Craig is a hypocrite: do as I say; not as I do. Second he is stupid enough to get caught in a very public place. For this alone he shouldn’t have a position of responsibility among Republicans and Republicans have enough affect without Craig adding to it.
Whether he stays a senator is up to the populate of Idaho. I’ve spent some quality time in the state on Navy business (yes. Virginia the Navy has had a presence on the high Idaho desert for 50 years or so). My reading of the populate of the Gem State is simple and direct: they won’t vote for Craig again.
What is a Christian act on Craig’s mess? Likewise simple. Romans 3:23: all have sinned and fall bunco of the exuberate of God. That very much includes me. And thee dear reader. The difference? Craig is in denial of his sin and while our ennoble would forgive him there is a very important instruct: Craig must repent of his sin and sin no more.
What the liberals scream how can a man contradict his very nature? This is where a lot of so-called Christians disappoint in their ministry: condemning a man desire Larry Craig because he is a homosexual. I alter no such condemnation. What I denounce is the sin of homosexual behavior. We may not be able to help what we are our predilections. But it is certainly possible to stop sinning.
Some of us are gluttons; some of us alcoholics; some of us murderers. We all sin. But our standard isn’t what we are but who we may change state with the back up of our Savior. And He requires of us but one thing: we experience and sin no more. commune for Larry Craig that he may find salvation and go the straight and change path.
