Representative Mark Foley And How Politics Trumps Ethics
Republican U.S. Representative Mark Foley of Florida resigned after a male teen age page of another Congressman complained of receiving explicit email from him. Why Mark Foley targeted the boy as a victim I do not. The boy also believes that Foley may have targeted another boy.
The Republicans claim to have kept this under wraps at the behest of the parents and have no of it for 10-11 months. The emails were leaked and published Friday by ABC in what was obviously a political move by someone. The Republicans did a disservice to the constituents in Foley’s district as he ran for reelection this year with them knowing his action. Politics seemed to have trumped ethics once more in Washington DC.
Foley is a social liberal in that he supported genocide through abortion often referred to as abortion rights. One the other hand I heard that he said he would support a constitutional amendment to ban homosexual marriage. He does sit the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus which makes him appear to be a hypocrite. I do not know if he is since I do not know if he believes he did evil by emailing the explicit comments to the teen page or pages.
I do know he should consider getting treatment either from a competent religious councilor or a competent psychologist. He might even attend meetings for sex/love addiction anonymous. Whatever choice he makes God has the power to overcome our evil desires and he willing to use it for those who are willing to follow his Son.
I do know Foley committed a crime according to natural law as homosexuality is abusive and thus destructive of the right to life and health and also because the boy is still his parents protection which rendered the action a violation of their parental rights. At the same time I do not know if he committed a crime according to the laws of the government jurisdiction he was in or if the people of that area have decided to tolerate such conduct for one reason or another.

Mr. Brown, I am surfing blogs and came upon yours. I am a pro-life Democrat, an endangered species. "I especially hate the phrase 'a woman's right to choose,' as if a woman's every choice is between murdering her child or giving birth. See, I also have the right to choose whether to comment on your blog, whether to eat my vegetables, etc., so those are also a woman's right to choose. I cannot agree with everything you believe, but your blog was a breath of fresh air. Thanks. Mai
Thank you for the compliment. Pro life Democrats used to be the only type their were. Unfortunately we had the socialist, communist, and anarchist ideology and the associated ethics or lack of ethics take a hold on the United States. The Republicans have their own problems with the corporatist that have always been a part of them since their founding.
Mai, you are a dying species, I'm sorry to agree. The Democratic Party of 30 years ago would be shocked at the state of the DNC today.
