National Politics & Policy | House Democrats Respond to Pope's Comments About Politicians Who Support Abortion Rights - Kaisernetwork.org
Eighteen House Democrats, led by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), on Monday in a statement responded to comments made by Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday about potential excommunication of Roman Catholic Mexico City legislators who voted for a law that allows pregnant women to obtain a legal abortion during the first three months' gestation, The Hill reports (Kaplan, The Hill, 5/15). The pope during a news conference on Wednesday on a flight from Rome to Sao Paulo, Brazil, when asked whether he agreed with excommunication for the lawmakers replied, "Yes, this excommunication is not something arbitrary."
That would be an interesting debate as far as the Pope goes.

What the Dalai Lama is saying comes from his perspective as a Buddhist monk and very basic Buddhist concepts such as compassion. He has in fact said the WORLD needs to adopt more compassion.

Well let's see if that fits the language which was originally
"and some of his method becomes unrealistic because of lack of understanding about reality."
...and some of his method becomes unCOMPASSIONED because of lack of understanding about COMPASSION.
Nope, that doesn't work for me. I think I'll stick with what the Dalai Lama really said....

It is a real stretch to try to line up both religious leaders as anti Bush.
|
So your argument is that what Bush has done, gutting the country, destroying Iraq, enriching his friends, and unleashing a tsunami of corruption, would not be addressed by religious leaders.
If you add up the name 'George Bush' in Hebrew letters it comes out: 666
Many people have argued both that Bush is evil or instead he's stupid. I'd say it was a coin flip.
But one thing is undeniable, Bush favors materiality and violence.
