And so they support the ACLU's war against religion and oppose faith-based charity, vouchers to parochial school, or any spiritual view of human life from conception to natural death.

Sorry .. You can't fake Christians out (at least most of the time). You can't talk the talk and then not walk the walk - which is what the dems do. While they continue to support ABORTION .. no Bible talk will remove that stain.

I hate to admit it, but I can finally relate to the French. In the past I heard the stories about how they are and rolled my eyes. Theyre supposed to be rude towards Americans. With the extra poundage, the funny looking money, and a complete rejection of the notion that they should learn the language, Americans just dont fit in downtown Paris. Le Big Mac? EuroDisney? No wonder the French are protective of their language, some things just dont translate. I understand that now. I am someone who tries to have a Biblical outlook on life. I guess Tim Russert would classify me as an Evangelical. I too have a culture and a language I want to protect.
You remember the last presidential election, the one where the Evangelicals cost the Democrats the election? In the six months following that election Ive noticed a lot more visitors pretending to reach out and fit in.
Of course, there have always been these types of things. A few years ago one of the networks had a movie about The Flood. I guess it was supposed to have been based on the Biblical account. About the same time I remember there was another show about Cleopatra. Guess what movie was more historically accurate? You see, in TV-land, Sodom doesnt have Sodomites and Noah wasnt the only one with an ark, and never mind about the timeline.
One would think the producers could have hired some native speakers to guide them through their producing. But like the rude visitors they were, they didnt bother. They had the money, the script, and the ugly shorts and you could tell they didnt understand half of what they were trying to say about Noahs Ark.
In the last six months all kinds of politicians, entertainers, and newsmen have been saying all kinds of things that native speakers can tell, came straight out of the Conversational Christianity in 20 Easy Lessons travelers handbook. And thats ok, I guess. I suppose its good to have visitors and people interested, so long as they dont kid themselves about where they are from.
They say things that just dont make sense to the native speakers. And not only do they say it with a straight face, but they smile ignorantly and expect their audience to agree. Gay marriage, government funded abortions, Revelations the mini-series, regional correspondents from the New York Times, and high-profile soon to be presidential candidates are all, now, wide-eyed and in our faces, nodding and speaking far too loudly to be taken seriously. Im not convinced theyre here with our best interests in mind.

Not that it matters other than it has been remarkable by the lack of any mention of it but, Kerry and his wife are converted Christians (Catholic) from the Jewish Faith. I suspect that, like his medals, his political objectives required a Christian background and so it was done.
The fact that it appears to be covered up, or at least deeply ignored - along the lines of FDR's inability to walk, is, to me, representative of the depth of the cynicism of the Left and tells me a lot about the sincerity of the Left in their protestations of deep faith.

I hope these democrats remember that GOD is not to be mocked.Bad thinks seem to happen to people who do.But since they don't seem to fear GOD,and just twist his words to serve their own purposes-HE may teach them a harsh lesson.

Your comments are most astute. I agree entirely.
" In the six months following that election Ive noticed a lot more visitors pretending to reach out and fit in."
Hillary was one of the first to suddenly start talking about her "faith." Remember when she made a speech shortly after the elections, which had this unbelievably clumsy line in it?
"I've always been a praying person."
One wonders exactly what she ever prayed for, other than one day ruling the planet; - a glorious "golden age" for the Killster, when she would be able to "take things away from you." . . such an endearingly "Christian" approach to ruling "the great unwashed," milling about under her feet.
Thanks for your excellent remarks, AD.

"But intellectual honesty would require leaders of the contemporary left to admit that the Christian faith is incompatible with the ideology behind entitlement programs."
Exactly. I do not doubt for one moment that there are actual, real, live, breathing, thinking, feeling Democr@ps out there that really DO love the Lord and want to do his bidding.
But their warped LEADERSHIP throughout the years has negated any strides they may have made toward actually giving people a helping hand and then sending them on their way which, I believe IS what social programs in their truest sense of the word are designed to do in the first place.
Sorry. As Conservative as I am, I DO believe that there are SOME amongst us that truly do need assistance...the disabled, Veterans, widows and widowers with a passle of kids to raise on their own, etc.
However, any Good Deeds have been so b@stardized by the Liberal Leadership that they're now useless. It's our money down a rathole, which seems to be my "theme" for the day, LOL! ;)

Kerry, for example, persists in appealing to the New Testament book of James. "Faith without works is dead . . ."John Kerry needs to read the rest of what the apostle James wrote following that verse and apply the test.
We have two famous millionaire families with homes in Southwestern Pennsylvania. A is worth close to a billion, B is only worth a few million. A married most of his money. B earned it. A is a skilled talker. B is a skilled doer. In fact, he earned most of his money competiting with the best in his profession. A is quite niggardly with charity-- what few dollars given to charity by A is mostly to foundations and causes which do little to releive the plight of the less fortunate and much to further his political agenda. B, despite having less to give, has financed everything from a commercial airport in his hometown to a hospital wing to care for cancer patients. It is not opinion, but fact that B has done far more to help those in need despite far fewer resources than A.
Now for the question. One of these is a staunch Republican, the other a staunch Democrat. Which is which?
And, for a bonus pont, name them.

It was Kerry's father or grandfather that converted, not Kerry himself.

Obviously, Kerry, Pelosi et al still seem to think we are all stupid. I thought the last Presidential race would have disabused them of that misconception.

"Paying taxes, of course, is not a gift. It is required under penalty of law. The payment of taxes confers on the payer none of the spiritual blessings that flow from charity."
Bump for a great article. I have read that in nations where the government gives charity, people tend to give less. I don't know if that is because they have less to give or because they figure someone else is taking care of them - probably a combo of the two.
