The reason people are fired up over the Susan G. Komen issue is that we contributed to them. We saved yogurt tops to mail in, we did races and fundraised for them. And then they sold out women. The right we expect to spit on us and our health, but not a foundation like Susan G. Komen.

About santorum's comment about the poor who buy a $900 iPod instead of $200 drugs, I thought the poor are as much sinners as the wealthy.

"The value of hard work was a feature of evangelical Protestanism. Luther attacked beggers and said that mendicant friars should be put out to work if they wanted to eat. Linked to Luther's doctrine of the priesthood of all believers, Protestant teaching rejected the earlier dictomy between the active and contemplative forms of life. Secolar work was no longer understood as being inferior to the religious life of the monks, nuns and friars. Nor was work any longer considered an ascetic or penitential discipline, as it was for element of the Christian monastic tradition. The poor no longer possessed any special sanctity in the way that inspire the 'poor man' religious movements of the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries, such as that of Francis of Assis. In the Protestant world, the poor were as much sinners as the wealthy." ???

Why is it that "Faith, Family and Freedom" reminds me so strongly of "Kinder, Kuche und Kirche"?
