About Lucas Cranach
Lucas Cranach was the great artist of the Reformation. He was a close friend of Martin Luther. He was a businessman, who first printed Luther's translation of the Bible; a politician, who served on the Wittenberg town council and served the city as its mayor; a chemist, who operated a pharmacy; a teacher, who trained a host of apprentice artists; a family-man, who helped arrange Luther's marriage with the two men serving as the godfathers of each other's children; and an active layman in his church, who gave his pastors important personal and material support. As a Christian who lived out his faith in his many different callings, Cranach thus embodies the Reformation doctrine of vocation, using the gifts God had given him in service to Christ and his neighbor in the church, the family, the workplace, and the culture. In the spirit of Lucas Cranach, this blog will discuss wide-ranging issues of Christianity and culture with a Lutheran twist.

She’s not a social conservative. McCain needs a social conservative running mate.
She’s a very good pianist.
Yeah. She no longer grabs me like she used to. Especially on Palestinian-Israeli matters.
Sometimes, to Ms. Rice, a terrorist is not a terrorist but a partner. Yuck.
I think it would give McCain a better chance of beating Obama.
Would conservatives like to see her just a heart beat away from the Oval Office??
A McCain-Rice ticket would offer two “moderates”.
And she certainly would not divert the Black-American vote from Obama to McCain.
She is tainted by the Bush administration.
She is no asset, either in appeal to the moderates and/or especially not to conservatives and libertarians.
I’m with Carl, Lars and Susan…….
And it is not just the four of us who wish she would go back to studying music.
She’s consistently likened the Palestinian problem to the civil rights struggle in America, since becoming Sec. of State.
Somehow, she remained more conservative in years within academia than she did in a Republican state dept.
Go figure. They must have some strong Koolaid over there.
To be fair, she has since denied that she is seeking the VP slot. However, I agree with the sentiment above. She does not seem to have much of a record of accomplishment, and the consensus seems to be that her time at NSA was somewhat of a disaster. She is also pro-choice.
So, …………no.
She is a pro-abort. She will not get my vote.
We don’t need no stinkin’ conservatives or anti-abortionists on a national ticket. She is black and she is female and she is very bright.
