I was going to title my piece for this week “Learning to Love the Left,” and I was all set to expound on Jesus’ sometimes seemingly impossible teaching about loving our enemies, not resisting evil, turning the other cheek, and so on.
Listen bro, I or we will never relent on ethics and morals. When Obama stated saving one child or hundreds or thousands, I ask what about Gosnell?
What happened to the mandatory sentencing laws, especially carrying an illegal gun. There’s a law I want passed and enforced

America elected a Messiah, a Noble Peace Prize Winner and the world was going to love us. Funny thing reality...
I consider myself a devout Christian, a committed conservative, and one who loves his enemies.
However, I mean "love" the same way I love my children - by doing what is best for them, not what they demand in a screaming fit. I've never had a child throw much of a fit in public, but I've seen those fits on occasion, usually with a liberal parent waffling as the child rolls on the floor and demands "ice cream" or something similar in a screaming wail until the alleged adult gives in. That is not loving on the part of the child or the adult. One thing my kids know as a certain fact is that misbehavior is never rewarded, not even to stop unpleasant behavior. I actually love my children, and I understand love, so I hold them, look out for them, comfort them, and do what is best for them from my long-term perspective as an adult, not what they as toddlers/pre-teens/teens think would be the most fun.
As for liberals, I am far too loving to endorse their bad behavior. I will not tell a gay Christian that I think it is okay to ignore the Bible or that I think God was wrong when He condemned homosexual conduct in scripture, no matter how much they want to hear that from me. I will not tell a gun-grabber that it is okay to subvert and weaken the Constitution. I will not tell a physically capable third-generation welfare addict that it's okay to be a burden on others. I will never endorse the moral relativism that claims the Boston Marathon bomber's murder or women and children was just as morally acceptable an action as an EMT's efforts to save lives and limbs after that evil attack. Loving? I can't imagine anything more loving that helping people to learn and to grow.
The author and many other persons need to realize part of the Bible was oriented towards individuals and other parts were oriented towards those that governs. Turning the cheek is for individuals not for those in a position of governing and protecting the citizens.
