I Am A Democrat, And The Religious Right Scares Me
MORE LIKE IT!!
Hey, Chuck baby, no matter how much you and your pals in Hollywood want it, I'm not gonna' vote for a Democrat!
reality check bump!--never vote for a label, vote for character and those who support the Constitution, personal property rights and protections, Biblical values, the Ten Commandments and Israel.
That said, I voted for Bush and am very glad he won. Now we need to keep his nose to the grindstone like every other politician....
Should I yawn? Laugh? Scowl? Send Chuck a nice note?
Your going to catch a lot of flack on this one, but I agree with most of the article. - good post.
I vote the party more than the man. The Dems are a hotbed of ANTI-religious zealots.
Looks like Chuck's off his meds again.
There are people who call themselves Republicans but who support John McCain. So I guess Chucky is a CHINO (Christian In Name Only?)
Chuck Baldwin is a moron of the highest order and gives Christians a bad name.
AS I said in 2000, Bush wasn't the best Republican for the job, but he was infinitely better than Gore or - what was his name? Oh, yes, Jim Kearney and his running mate Stu Ped.
This is the liberal tactic of the day: paint all religious conservatives as Jim Bakkers on steroids that want to come to your house, take everything you own, and give it to some rich guy.
I agree. Round up the 'Religious Right' and take them back to the leftist inquisition. Far less scary 'eh?
Let me see if I understand this correctly. Bush and the Republicans aren't perfect, so we shouldn't vote for them?
In "The City of God," St. Augustine wrote that as Christians we aspire to be citizens of heaven, but in the meantime we are "peregrinatores" in the City of Man, which in his time was Rome. When possible, we have a duty to work together with and help our neighbors in the City of Man.
This is simply a development of what Jesus said not long before he went into Jerusalem to be crucified: "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's." That doesn't just mean we have to pay our taxes; it means that where it doesn't conflict with our duty to God we owe a duty to the nation or state in which we live.
Sure, if Bush betrays his religious base, they will be pretty angry, and they won't vote Republican again in 2006. Bush understands this, and hopefully Karl Rove does too.
No politician is ever going to give us everything we want. But unless both the candidates are plain evil, it's usually best to vote for the better of the two. In the case of Bush, you don't even have to hold your nose.
Well, no. Not IMO.
Christians are more concerned with things of an eternal nature. Not really concerned with comfort and accommodations “now.”
Church, state… whatever.
It’s a finesse game. Not something everyone will “automatically” achieve due to occupying space and breathing air… despite what they’re told, IMO.
Man, I was soo fired up for a zot, and you aren't a Troll lol.
Huh??? Protecting one's nation against terrorism is anti-Christian??? Hogwash. This guy has some good points and some bad ones...as our pastor used to say about such, approach it like you would a fish; eat the meat and discard the bones.
IOW, he's pissed that his ticket got less than 250,000 votes out of 125 million cast.
Baldwin's been a bit of an oddity for a very long time.
"I don't remember anyone saying people voted "Christian" when they elected the outspoken Christian candidate, Jimmy Carter, President. Yet, Carter, in his personal life, demonstrated as much, if not more, Christianity than does George W. Bush. If you recall, Carter even taught Sunday School in a Southern Baptist Church while President."
O yeah, a "conservative" who praises Jimmy Carter-Castro.
