Guess who slithered out from under a rock this week?
Yeah, Like HE deserves to talk about "moral collapse"...

Former Nixon aide Chuck Colson speaks on changing mindset of church.

December 24, 2009
MOBILE, Ala. - Decrying what he called "the moral collapse" of America and advocating "the Christian understanding of how you live your life," Chuck Colson spoke to a crowd of about 2,000 people who showed up at 6 a.m. Wednesday at the Arthur R. Outlaw Convention Center in downtown Mobile.

Colson, 78, was the keynote speaker for the "12:23 Men of Mobile Bay Christmas Gathering," involving 30 men's religious groups from Mobile and Baldwin counties, with many women, along with area pastors, in the audience too.
The born-again Christian and best-selling author was an aide to President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal. He entered a guilty plea for obstruction of justice and served time in Maxwell prison in 1974.

1. Guys like this don't seem to understand that you can have moral rectitude without
the beady-eyed, sweaty-upper-lipped, Bible-thumping hooey in which they all seem to be wrapped up.

5. Before he became painfully unfunny and conservative
Dennis Miller had a good line about people who only find Jesus once they've been put in jail - it's because Jesus wasn't paying close enough attention. "Oh, shit, there's that asshole, Chuck Colson! Probably wants to turn his life over to me. TAXI!"

6. They'll all be here in no time: John Birch, Colson, Dobson, death panels; they have Obama...
teetering and it was too easy to do so they are emboldened to proceed. The next push will be pointed and hard like a *thump* to the solar plexus meant to take Obama out of the history books, and it isn't just because he's black - they did it to Carter and Clinton both and now Obama. What is mind boggling is that Dems never see it coming or just flat-out enjoy playing 2nd fiddle straight men & women to republican governance

7. that is one hundred percent true, these people never go away
even if they go to prison, die, get cremated and buried thirty feet down, they continually come back wanting more and more for the rich and the MIC.

Meanwhile the dems say, "oh, things are different now", and let them get back into power. Jeeeeez, look how long rummy and cheney have been around.
