Pelosi can hardly be blamed. After all, the Bible is a rare book which is incredibly hard to find. The entire text of the Bible is online in several versions, but of course, only a handful of people are allowed to access the internet, so that option is out. And of course, no one has prepared concordances and divided the Bible into chapter and verse to aid people in finding a particular quote. And without reference works, how could anyone be expected to quote the Bible accurately? And who'd expect anyone to be able to check it out?

Did I lay the sarcasm on a little thick?

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

I think Pelosi got that quote from one of Dr Phil's books.

An easy mistake to make.

And don't be too hard on Larry -- for a guy who's been dead five years, he's doing not too bad.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

I wouldn't expect Larry to corner Pelosi on her misquote.

Frankly I don't think it's that bad of a misquote.  In the Bible God does charge mankind with stewardship over the earth.  But this idea had long been rejected and ridiculed by the Leftists, until they found a way to use it to promote Leftist environmentalism as opposed to apolitically based conservationism (i.e. stewardship).

The hypocrisy is the thing I would point out.  If she wants to invoke biblical principles on one subject, is she willing to apply them to other subjects, like, say, abortion? 

"To minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us"

Just like real Biblical Scripture about caring for one another, the quote makes no mention of Government involvement, or of forcibly taking one person's money to give it to another. Like the real Bible, it tells each of us to reach out to help those we see in need.

Many of us manage to do just that, in spite of "help" from San Fran Nan and her cohorts.

Pelosi is of course not the first to misuse the Bible for her own political agenda.

It seems that B. Hussein Obama's little incident with scripture is all but forgotten. See Here

Where Pelosi tried to justify her whacky enviro policy with false quotes, Obama twisted the Word to justify homosexuals and abortion. He called the reference in Paul's letter to the Romans about Homosexuality as being "obscure". Only problem with that is that the Old Testament also condems it.

This also shows Obama's historical ignorance. The Greeks and Romans were ardent practitioners of the homoerotic arts, especially in the upper classes. Paul condemned it outright. That's not so obscure.
