But nice try at smearing Reagan to make an excuse for your FAUX-conservative of a candidate.You missed the point clean. Re-read the post.

Ah, so your view is that the will of God for an individual is best determined by you, and not between God and that particular individual. Interesting take!
Show me EXAMPLES from the Bible where God called a man to Lead and then took that calling away without that man doing anything sinful!
To: bgierhart
where in the Bible does it mention the Anti-Christian Cult?Try Galatians, Chapter 1, and see what it says.

You missed the point clean. Re-read the post.
I missed nothing.
The same slimy approach was used by both the RudyBots and MittBots early in the campaign and it was easily disputed as well.
If you are standing by your statement, prove your point!
Post examples of where you think Ronald Reagan was so liberal. Oh, and by the way, the Abortion thing has already been done to death and counterpointed. So before you present that as evidence, you might want to do some research here at FreeRepublic because if you present it again, I am sure someone will refute the mis-characterization.

Show me EXAMPLES from the Bible where God called a man to Lead and then took that calling away without that man doing anything sinful!You truly have an immature spiritual understanding of how God works. There are numerous examples in the Bible where the Lord calls folks to head in different directions from where their lives have previously been.
It is incredibly silly to maintain that just because the Lord may call someone to be a preacher at one point in his life, it is prohibitive for the Lord to call him to be something else at another point. By maintaining this position, what you are actually trying to do is place limitations on the sovereignty of God, and saying that once God calls a person to do a certain thing, he is unable to call him to do something else. Think about it.

If Reagan wasn't conservative for you, I loved Reagan and voted for him. But he wouldn't be "conservative" by today's definition. Even so-- he was the right man at the right place and time. We forget that.
His massive amnesty for illegals, his tripling of the federal budget, his nomination of liberal judges like O'connor and Souter... his abandonment of Lebanon... and more... if FreeRepublic had existed in the 80's we'd have ripped him apart as a RINO.
His rhetoric was good, and he was EXACTLY the man we needed at the time, but he wasn't even as conservative as GWB in the way that he actually governed, in many ways.
We forget sometimes that it is the times that make the man moreso than the man who makes the times. Sometimes we care too much about a candidate's past, when it is what they actually do in office that matters, and many times it may be different than we fear.

Oh, and by the way, the Abortion thing has already been done to death and counterpointed.Frankly, I don't care how much it's been "done to death." The fact is, you can take several things from Reagan's record, like raising taxes, increasing spending, and yes - abortion - and spin the hell out of them like Rush et al have been doing to make him look bad if you so desired. The Rushes, Hannitys, Ingrahams, and folks here in like manner have also "done to death" the records of various candidates whose degree of conservatism they happen to disagree with.
