Love God, Love your neighbor

In the days ahead I plan to discuss societal issues from abortion to the war in Iraq that to my knowledge have not gotten traction in the media elsewhere. To begin with, I wanted to set out my foundational premise which is based on the words of my Lord Jesus Christ who said, in Matthew 22:37-40 "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." and also, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
