I think one could replace power with politics. 

Secondly, this is a fairly old post (four years old, to be precise). While I think my main premise—that politicians as a whole tend to be in politics more for personal power than for the general well-being of their constituents—still stands, I have long since realized that my conclusion in this post is erroneous; Christians are no better politicians than their secular counterparts. Personally, I think the whole political democratic system is somewhat broken, but unfortunately it's still one of the best systems out there right now. It'd just be nice, from an idealistic point of view, if all politicians would do the right thing, regardless of how it would affect their chances for re-election, instead of doing the things that would earn them votes in the next election cycle.

I dunno—I'm just frustrated by the whole process and by the lack of solid ethics in politics. Power is a dangerous thing in the hands of people who don't know how to use it wisely.

And if you think that the honesty of a christian leader is the ideal solution to the corrupt and vile Sodom in which we live… perhaps you should consider reviewing the history of Christianity. Or even look at the personal life of any one of the very Pure Christian leaders that are at the head of the battle for America's chastity today.

Because I have some programming knowledge in PHP and written some other (smaller) plugins for Wordpress, I decided to code such a plugin myself … and after some days of hard work I am done with it! :D

You will find the plugin at http://www.hyper-world.de/en/computer-2/xpost/ or in the Wordpress plugin directory.

Short summary which of your feature requests are implemented:
1. Preservation of all the post’s metadata – title, categories, permissions, date/timestamps, passwords, etc.
Everything out of this list except permissions will get copied. Passwords will also get copied (just in case someone thinks this would fall into permissions).

2. Ability to crosspost to as many instances of WordPress as desired.
You can add as many WordPress blogs as you want.

3. Ability to select only certain categories for crossposting.
The categories will be loaded from the blogs you are crossposting to and can be selected individually for each blog.

4. Ability to crosspost to a wordpress.com blog.
I did not test it. But I think it should work. Wordpress.com provides the XML-RPC interface and I see no reason why this should differ from the standard Wordpress XML-RPC interface.

Any feedback would be appreciated!
