Jon Rector: Put Christ back in Christian

The GOP (Government of the People) 
is anything but "...of the People." 
And, this so-called Christian nation of ours that the right-wingers thump their holy book of fables about is anything but Christian. Now there is some serious hypocrisy for you.
Now, a little holiday cheer. I saw this on-line the other day: Instead of putting Christ back in Christmas, how about putting Christ back in Christian?

MARCO RUBIO IS A HYPOCRITE

Hypocrisy is nothing new to Florida’s Junior Senator.  Time and again we have seen he has contradicted himself on one issue after another. Rubio knows little about foreign policy yet consistently sounds off on the subject.

We celebrate the release of the Cuban 5

political prisoners held by the U.S. government for 16 years. Their freedom also marks a positive change in relations between the U.S. government and Cuba. 

The Cuban Five are heroes who came to the U.S. 
to stop terrorist attacks against their country. 
By secretly joining the most reactionary groups in Florida, 
the Cuban Five put their lives at risk in order to stop attacks on Cuba and its socialist system. Freedom for the Cuban Five and the plans to normalize relations with Cuba announced by President Obama are to be applauded. 
Thank you again President Obama here

Marco Rubio is out of touch with reality and on the wrong side of history

Exposing more ordinary Cubans to American visitors, opening up the island's economy and expanding access to the Internet will only bring the public demand for human rights and individual liberty in Cuba more squarely before the Communist regime. here

If you’re ever in Hialeah, Fla., beware of police officer Harold Garzon.
