Confusing Treason with Christianity

Love those Lefty church groups and their strict separation of Church and State:

In not untypical fashion, the faithfully left-leaning National Council of Churches (NCC) has issued a poisonous little July 4 greeting to the American people.

The statement from the NCC Governing Board is not a celebration of two centuries of American democracy and religious liberty, with gratitude to God. It is instead a screed against the "dishonorable" war in Iraq.

"It has become clear that the rationale for invasion was at best a tragic mistake, at worst a clever deception," the statement generously opines.

Although comprised of denominations totaling over 40 million mainstream Americans, the NCC has for 40 years been a voice for unending 1960s' radical protest.

Headed by former Democratic Rep. Bob Edgar (who is also a United Methodist clergyman), the NCC is still fighting the Vietnam War, 30 years after its close. It is ironically appropriate that Edgar is leading the NCC's latest anti-war crusade. He has boasted that he served in the Congress that cut all aid to South Vietnam, clearing the way for the subsequent slaughter, persecution, poverty, and refugee crisis that followed in a communist-ruled Indochina.

Now Edgar and his NCC want to do for Iraq what they helped accomplish for South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Likening themselves to the "biblical prophets of old," the NCC wants to declare "NO" to "leaders who have sent many honorable sons and daughters to fight a dishonorable war."

Shouldn't they be protesting nukes or something instead?
