It may soon become a well-trod adage that when you ask Mike Rowe a snarky, insulting question on his Facebook page, you might find yourself on the receiving end of one of Rowe’s measured, civil, and devastatingly spot-on responses.
So it was with a decidedly left-leaning guy named Jim Green who posted a series of inflammatory points about Republicans (with a lot of ALL-CAPPED words and about the same number of exclamation points), which Rowe apparently spotted while aboard a flight:

Simple:
We Christians vote for the party that didn't Boo God three times.
We will vote for those who are less likely to push Communism on us and our children.
We will vote for those who tell the truth instead of making up AGW lies about how global warming is “science” despite the facts.
We will vote for the party that doesn't kill babies in the tradition of the pagans that sacrificed to molech.
For more than one reason, I think Glen’s pages are defective but regardless, there are a couple of links in addition to the blaze at this link.

Mike Rowe’s answer was better
careful now some here at FR will flame you for that kind of thinking
That’s why the most confusing holiday in the hood is Father’s Day.
All 10 are important, but "Thou shall not kill" is near the top. And incredibly, our own American people have murdered over 50 MILLION, pre-birth babies since Rowe v Wade was decided in 1973. How can we Americans expect God to continue His favor toward us as a nation when we legalize such a horrendous practice as allowing unborn human children to be murdered in their mothers' bodies?
God's infallible Word says, "God is not mocked, He will repay", and I believe that He is beginning to repay our nation for it's legalization of cold-blooded murder, an abomination that we call abortion in order to make it sound less horrible than it actually is. .
How in the heck do you access the comments? Do I have to sign up at the Blaze just to read them? I’ve clicked everything I can find to see the comments, but I’m obviously missing something :)
Thanks!
The state is a God ordained institution and occupies an important place in God's order of things, along with other God ordained intuitions such as family, marriage, the home,the church,education,and work. Christianity believes in the wickedness of fallen man (Jeremiah 17:9)and his moral responsibility; therefore it believes that government is a necessary institution-even to the imposition of the death penalty (Genesis 9:6;Romans 13:1-4).
However,because government is composed of fallen man, it needs to have limited obligations, not totalitarian powers. God established government with limited powers to do only certain things in society. The Bible calls for limited government, falling somewhere between no government (anarchy) and total government (totalitarianism). The state has its role (Mark 12:17, but God has appointed roles for the family and the church. All powerful states are not "God's perfect will and states that forget God are "turned into hell" (Psalm 9;17).
it’s easy, if one believes a “Christian” is one who does not actually follow Christ’s teachings on anything except “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone” and uses that to override everything else He and His apostles said.
Yeah, the blaze is a whole different deal. I think Glen wants a subscription out of you to make comments. I was able to get to them so I guess it’s all a configuration/operating system/cookies thing on someones computer. Plus all the pop ups when you get to the blaze can by irritating.
Agreed. It is clear that when a person resorts to such reductionism, they are not a believer.
LOL
Pretty funny...
3. Reconsider your commitment to caps and exclamation points. These are excellent choices when warning people about a fire, a volcanic eruption, an ebola outbreak, or a looming tsunami. But I’m afraid their use (here) implies a level of urgency that may exist only in your mind.
4. Consider limiting each blurb to a single entry. When you post the identical screed four times in a row, it looks very much like a broken record sounds. This will lead people to conclude that you’re either a) inept at posting, or b) deliberately obnoxious. Neither conclusion is likely to lead to a sale. Remember, most people see posts like yours as small piles of vomit that they can quickly step around. But when the same vomitus post appears multiple times, you force my friends here to slosh through a virtual lake of spew.
No! You just have to keep closing the pop ups.......I hate The Blaze’s web site!!
LOL! Dodged that stray bullet again!!!!!!!!!

Now, y’all know you’re probably hurting the feelings of the Third Partyers on FB. The Republican Party isn’t perfect—a lot of it is downright angrifying. But it’s the only electable alternative to the Progressive-Liberals in The Donkey Party.
I see that Mike gave the guy several good reason why one shouldn’t insult his audience, but I don’t see anything where he answered the guy’s question.
It was in the last bit at the end.
He said to apply everything he told him - and then ask again.
