When was the last time that the Left had an idea, position, or campaign that wasn't based entirely on a t-shirt-style slogan.
Jesus never spoke of personal rights. He also never spoke of different races needing different rules or ideas. He spoke of all men having responsibilities to their fellow man, but never once noted that it was Ceasar who should be used as a broker for satisfying those responsibilities.
I'm not sure that God was concerned so much with their desire for a king, but rather he was opposed to their want of a king like themselves and ultimately reject a righteous king that actually cared for them.
Anyone that is a born again Christin has the same direct line as I do.
That's easy: for political gain. The Right has an incredibly strong support from more than 60% of Christians, and anything that damages that support is a net positive for them on election day.
Further, the Liberals, who weild guilt like a scalpel, cannot allow those Christians who vote for Democrats to feel like their stances are incompatible, and that they are choosing petty politics over their faith. The Left might lose potential votes... the only thing that actually matters to their leadership.
Great reply.
thank you.
My note to Linda,
Subject: Jesus would vote Democratic
Ms. Valdez,
Somehow in your editorial you didn’t mention the number one item of faith for Democrats/liberals. Not a word was written about the adamant demand for unfettered abortion at any time and everywhere in the world.
Babies are the most innocent and helpless among us, it’s hard to picture Democrats/liberals clinging righteously to Jesus’ teaching of “love, tolerance, forgiveness, charity and humility” as a baby’s head is extracted, pierced, and their brains are sucked out.
I know that liberals are ubiquitously brilliant, just ask them, so maybe this won’t be a problem, but I’m foolish enough to think that Jesus would bemoan the 30 – 40 million American babies killed by abortion and maybe ask some questions.
RJL
Great line. I would add that liberals are more than willing to hire someone else to spill blood for their agenda (see: Abortion).
They really don't like it when I tell them that "liberal" was a term that FDR hijacked to mean "not quite as authoritarian as Hitler and Mussolini". A liberal is a socialist who isn't quite willing to get blood on his hands yet.
Excellent, it's a keeper.
Turning Christ in to a political activist is the height of blasphemy.
This is the same BS the left always uses for trying to define the Democrat party as the party of "god". This must be some Wallis manure.
Christ never preached BLIND love.
This is the same as when homosexuals demand christianity must accept and sanction their sexual behavior because it would be "unchristian" to judge homosexuality as wrong.
I mark Sheehan, the "phrase the argument" DNC movement, and even this jesus would vote debate as THE RETURN OF PONYTAIL REPORTER. (this is when Bill Clinton was asked by some hippie reporter to think of americans as "his chuuuldren")
Newflash to the hippies, stop smoking pot.
Idiot lefties...correction...all lefties will say anything to give justification to their illogical ideals. It makes them feel good.
Bahahaha
Let's see what his "Dad" had to say on what the RATs want to put in every school K-12
What Does the Bible Say About . . . .
HOMOSEXUALITY, ADULTERY & OTHER SEXUAL SINS
http://www.bibleplus.org/homosexuality/homo.htm#The%20story%20of%20Sodom%20and%20Gomorrah
JESUS WOULD NOT MURDER BABIES.
lol...right. King of kings, Lord of lords. I don't think there's going to be a whole lot of voting or debate when Christ returns.
Jesus wouldn't even vote RINO.
I suspect he would be clear to say Immorality in the name of being fair is still wrong.
Abortion is wrong.
I suspect what he said back then is still what he would say now:
Love the Lord your God with everything you've got (my truncated summary) and love your neighbor as yourself.
He also didn't say, "Set up a government that will love your neighbor (in the sense of taking care of his needs) for you so you don't have to."
He certainly wouldn't be behind those who are trying to take God out of the public sphere.
But then, the liberal viewpoint in religion hasn't believed Jesus was God for years and years. They haven't believed in the orthodox view of the Trinity for years and years. Forget the virgin birth, they don't believe in the miracles, and most especially, the ressurection is talked away, like it was some symbolic event.
Their image of Jesus is far from the Jesus I worship. That image could vote democratic, but that's not the Jesus that the disciples knew.
