...decent conservatism...

Is there any other kind?

Reading this, I thought, she’s against her.....no she’s for her.....no against her.....(and then) where did this woman go to journalism school. What a mixed up mess.

“Those social issues we are more concerned with,” he went on, “are helping the poor and needy and helping those who have nothing have something in these hard financial times, helping them move forward. As far as social issues, poverty is the one issue we are going to be focused on in this church.”

Whatever happened to focusing on Jesus Christ, his atoning sacrifice, repentance and forgiveness of sin? Good works are the result of this focus.

Who said they don’t?

You’re going to criticize the church the Perry’s attended when they married because of what some anti-American feminist, who tells the world she’d like to have oral sex with Bill Clinton and describes Mrs. Perry as having been “churched” and who puts “prayerful” in quotes says?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

.....I thought, she’s against her.....no she’s for her.....no against her.......

That old whiplash school of journalism. Just words strung together so she can get all her snotty comments down for the anti-American, anti-conservative, anti-religious, anti-family crowd.

Liberal churched never focus on Jesus Christ. They would be convicted if they did.

[Scotsman will be Free]

No, but because of what the minister is quoted as saying. Things like they don’t concern themselves with abortion or gay marriage because those are political and that they would focus on the poor, instead.

I was quoting the preacher. He had an opportunity to summarize his church’s focus to the media. He used that opportunity to emphasize what sounded to me like a social gospel. It is possible that the liberal Ms. Burleigh misquoted him or took him out of context.
