    WWJD?

    This Tuesday, the citizens of Dover, Pennsylvania exercised their democratic muscle and delivered the message to their elected school board members that they did not agree with their vote to include intelligent design in the curriculum. They voted out of office all 8 school board members who voted to add intelligent design to the classroom teachings. While some make think this election was a partisan powerplay. It was not:

    Voters themselves crossed party lines to vote for the candidates they favored. If they had not, the school board incumbents, all of whom ran on the Republican line, would probably have prevailed in a district where 70 percent of voters are registered Republicans.
    Pat Robertson, in his infinite wisdom and never at a loss for the absurd, chastised the community by speaking on behalf of God:

    "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city...And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for His help because he might not be there."
    This is only an excerpt of his diatribe. Is this really Christian compassion?

    WWJD?
