Its easy to call yourself a christan, its a lot harder getting other christians to believe it.

[Teacher317]

I say "gullible" because few other groups are so easily led by slogans, so regularly ignore substance, and receive so little in return.

"Few other groups"... like liberals... Socialists... Democrats...

[anniegetyourgun]

Sigh..so many web authors these days who like to link evil and Hitler to a vote for Bush. It's a tough call - read it on LR or read it on MoveOn.org.....decisions, decisions.....

the Christian Right

Is this the opposite of the Atheist Left?

Good article. Don't expect it to stay up long.

For those of you who think voting against George Bush is the same as voting for a democrat I can only ask you, would you have voted for Adolph Hitler? There were many in Germany who did not like Hitler one bit but were desperately (and justifiably) afraid of the communists and voted for him as a "lesser of two evils."

Unsuprisingly, LewRockwell.com and MoveOn.org both enjoy trying to make Bush seem like Hitler.

Challenging article bump.

You lobby government to support the nation state of Israel with taxpayer monies.

How did I know this guy was eventually going to start talking about the "Jew problem."

[philosofy123]

Actually the author addressed that, in the start, he said the Christian Left is essentially non-Christian.

[Nonstatist]

What a bunch of cranks, those Rockwellians..

Saddam Hussein was and is answerable to God Almighty and the Iraqi people, but he is most definitely not answerable to the United States of America. Unless of course we were suddenly to admit our culpability in creating him and announce that we were shooting our own dog.

Guess Rockwell never read in his Bible about the Good Samaritan.

Before I even read the article, I hit "control" and "F" and typed in Hitler, low and behold, there it was.

It was my clue not to bother reading the article.

[philosofy123]

Actually he said using government money to provide amunition to the Arabs, and the Israelis is like putting gasoline on the fire.

[JohnGalt]

How pathetic that you have fallen to such lows.

Why you signed on with the phonies we shall never know, but why do you feel the need to whip out the anti-Semite card?

[u-89]

This thoughtful article is met with hostility on FR... gosh, who could have imagined?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Saddam Hussein was and is answerable to God Almighty and the Iraqi people, but he is most definitely not answerable to the United States of America.

"Am I my brother's keeper?" The Christian answer is yes, it is our duty to protect those weaker than us. The Iraqi people had absolutely no chance to throw off the yoke of tyranny without help.

Do you honestly believe there is a constitutional right to kill unborn babies that is frustrating attempts to stop this holocaust?

No. But the Supreme Court believes otherwise. Republicans pass laws restricting abortion and liberal Rat activists get liberal Rat judges to overturn them. Would you have us drag the abortionists out into the streets and stone them to death and then torch the facilities?

[hopespringseternal]

Christians have widely supported the war of aggression against Iraq, which was waged without a declaration of war, and was waged against a country that "might" be a threat to us at some time. Under that rubric we could justify invading Bolivia or Australia.

What a moron. Anyone who can't connect 9/11 and fever swamps like Iraq is simply not to be taken seriously, no matter how they label themselves.

[kjvail]

You nailed it - cannot find a single disagreement with your fine post.
Christians need to wake up and realize the GOP is not going to advance their agenda.
The Libertarian party is no better - secular, pro-death and pro-drug they have adopted the most disgusting parts of the Democratic platform.

This "serious" and "thoughtful" article is calling for utopia in a Kerry/UN/Soros victory.

Remember Saddam and Sons were innocent, Bush and the Jews are guilty.
