The world would have been spared the war in Iraq if Al Gore had won Presidency and not George W Bush. Bush's victory was secured with his father stacking the Supreme Court and his brother Jeb disallowing votes from mostly African Americans who voted for Al Gore using machines that punched a hole next to Al Gore's name but left a chard of paper because the machines did not work properly. He is the most immoral of all American politicians in what he did. Conservative Catholic politicians in American think the church should only talk about their ideology against abortion and marriage equality for gays and lesbians.

I am no fan of the Bushes, but "member of the jury," you were obviously absent during "testimony" since your facts are wrong.

Number 1, George Herbert Walker Bush (aka Bush, Sr.) did not stack the Supreme Court. That court has 9 - and only 9 - seats, which are lifetime appointments. Only upon the retirement, death, or impeachment of a Supreme is there a vacancy on that bench. During Bush Sr's 4 years, two vacancies were available; in 1990 David Souter (since retired) was confirmed to the bench and in 1991 Clarence Thomas was confirmed (he is still sitting). That is hardly "stacking" the Court.

Number 2, G.H.W. Bush's (Bush Sr's) appointments were 10 and 9 years before the 2000 contest between his son George W. Bush (Bush Jr) and Al Gore. Are you suggesting that Bush Sr. appointed Souter and Thomas so that they could rule in favor of his son a decade after their appointments; that Bush Sr. somehow knew the 2000 contest would turn out the way it did? You're an idiot!

Number 3, Jeb Bush (former Governor of Florida and Bush Jr's brother) had nothing to do with disallowing votes during the infamous "hanging chads" episode. That decision was made by the Supreme Court of the United States. Jeb wanted the vote count to stop, but he didn't stop it - he had no constitutional authority to do such a thing.

Go ahead and criticize Jeb Bush if you want - even his own mother said there's already been enough Bushes in the White House and so he shouldn't stand - but if you're going to criticize, get your facts straight so you don't sound like such an ignorant clod.

Why can't they? The churches and mosques are all human institutions and are bound to have deviants who masquerade as "HOLY" people. We have Boko Haram who execute the innocent, including their own moslems. They claim to be moslems but their teachings and behaviors are at variance with Islam. Name me any religion where we don't have some leaders who go contrary to the religious beliefs. Also, all religions have aspects of "Paganism." Can you prove me wrong.

The reason why the Protestants came out of the Catholic Church was mainly because of the paganism and wickedness being practiced. The original Christians certainly did not have pagan practices. It was the failure of the Romans to crush the followers of Christ which resulted in the fake religion called roman Catholic being formed to combat Christianity from within.
So the answer to your question is Christianity does not practice paganism but those who pretend to be Christians do practice it openly with things like Sungod/day and image worship

Pope Francis has identified the moral duty of all living on Earth today to act now to save the planet's environment for future humanity. All good ideas.

What he failed to mention is the problem of over-population and how we should act on that problem which is the root cause of human induced global warming. World population has more than tripled in my life time and every soul leaves a carbon footprint. Only China has a one child policy and that is working.

Clearly the time has arrived to address over-population with moral duty to practice family planning with contraception use, abortion for unwanted pregnancy with use of an abortion pill and endorsement of childless relationships including same sex married couples.

The Pope's plan for a better world is good but needs to deal with fresh thinking and reform to the rigid dogma of Catholicism and Islam which collectively are responsible for the unsustainable population explosion.

Every life is sacred and is a gift from God. It is your personal responsibility to cater for the children you bring into this world.

Climate change is caused by humans by the excessive use of fossil fuels. The impact of carbon dioxide and methane that is produced by its uses affects humans and other living things that share our habitats. Jeb Bush can't run away from this scientific fact, unless he wants to behave like the Republican deniers whose mantra is "I am not a scientist".

A man was driving from Accra to Bolgatanga. He got as
far as Kumasi when he realized he was getting terribly horny.
To satisfy his urge he looked up a house of ill repute and took
care of the problem.
Immediately, a severe guilt reaction set in, so he went to
confession. As penance, he was told to say 10,000 Hail Mary's.
He went on driving and praying. By the time he'd finished
the 10,000 Hail Mary's, he was approaching Bolgatanga and...
terribly horny again. Once again, he looked up a house of ill
repute, and had an orgy. Again there was a severe guilt reaction,
so he went to confession. Upon hearing his confession, an old
Ghanaian priest said, "For penance say three Hail Mary's".
The man exclaimed, "What? In Kumasi, I had to say 10,000
Hail Mary's for the same thing!"
The old priest replied quietly, "Sure now, and what would they
know about fucking in Kumasi?

Cutting corners and mis-representing information is one of his methods.

His statement is as idiotic as they come.

Imagine, if the Pope had said "abortion must be outlawed". All of us can guess how Jeb Bush would have replied/answered.

ITEM: We believe the statement by the Pope on Climate Change is an important one. It is what the World needs, right now.

It is been signed, sealed, delivered! And Cardinal Turkson the better sense, compared to Jeb Bush.

Get a life, faker Jeb Bush!

Idiot journalists you pick and choose which story fits your mold what about killing babies that the Pope talked about? Cardinal you don't speak for all Christians that is to say if you are one of us and not following your nonsense sect who still pray to other deities apart from Christ which is nowhere written in the bible as we know it except your so called bible. Stay out of American politics it's none of your business. If you have any advice give it to your country period.

Bush, as usual needs to consult with advisers to make sense in any and all discussions. Please don't fault brainless bushman. Look at one decision he signed into law as governor in Florida - "stand on your ground law" - Shoot and kill first in defense. He is just another destroyer from the Bush Family. The Iraq fire is still on and he wants to add more petrol into it.
