Are We Asking Too Much?

Sucharit (good conduct or right behavior), sukkrit (good deed), and dharm (righteousness) are the basis of moral philosophy Hinduism prescribes for every human being and we would like to see these in our president.

We would also appreciate some of the other virtues in him/her, mentioned in the dharmasastras, like compassion, purity, equanimity, fortitude, and hands off from untruth and greed.

Satya (truth) is highly stressed in Hinduism and we think that it will be an important virtue we should look for in our next president. Upanishads state ‘satyam eva jayate’ (truth alone triumphs).

Are we asking too much?

Shame 'GEORGETOWN UNIVERSiTY" & jealous Partner the "BURKLEY Center"!!

Shame TEMPLETON & Gang , VATiCAn & their 'Mother Of Harlots' Lover’s! et al!

Vote: Abolish the Imported "EUCHARiST" Rituals (not Made in U.S.A.) in All United States!

This is tantamount to 'Symbolic Cannibalism (eating a Rabbi's Flesh, in effigy) & Vampirism (drinking a Rabbi's Blood, in effigy)!

Hence Why We “Eclat(i){ON’s}” call this Pre-Apocalyptic Behaviors the “PUKE-A-RiSK”!

Interesting Fact: Like Now the VATiCAN is saying, :It’s O.K. to Believe in ALiEN Creature Brothers (not Sisters) THE, it is O.K. Now To Admitt that the ‘EUCHARiST” ritual is and was Wrong all along!!!!! Well??????

NO you aren't asking anything millions of Christians pagans and others have not asked. We should ask that and more of people who wish to lead us.

Maybe we're asking too *little,* just being too loud about the pettinesses that have taken over politics in the media.
