I think you meant Christian Liberal Republicans. Christian Conservatives know that the Bible places the mandate for caring for the poor squarely on the shoulders of individual Christians and the Church. That has never been the government's responsibility biblically.
When people in this country were more familiar with God's word, they helped those who needed a hand, not by throwing money at the problem but by giving them what they needed to make it on their own. Today too many liberals think the government should do all the work.
The Bible says, them that won't work, should not eat and that we as individuals, and as a church, should help those we find who need help. The government has no personal dealings with individual people. The system is not set up to work that way. It only hands out money with very little personal follow up. Whereas responsible and vigilant church members can actually see how well the help they provide is working.
That is the way things worked before FDR. Now so many people have been on the government dole for so long that even some in the church forget who was actually given the command to help the sick, the poor, the widows, and the fatherless. We should not allow the government to take from those who aren't necessarily Christians to do the work we Christians have been commanded to do.
Well written Wary. I think you and I can agree on the role of government vs. the role of the church.
Then tell Bush and Senator what's his ass from Kansas, the main man for anti-abortion in the Senate, to quit sending American tax dollars to fight AIDS in Africa and stay the hell out of Darfur. If the left is so upset over Darfur why dont they buy a gun and fly to Africa and save their brothers themselves rather than look to someone else to do it for them.
Also tell them to stay out of family decisions on life and death (ala Schaivo). Other than the war in Iraq, I doubt anything led to more Republican loses this year in the election than GOP meddling in the Schaivo case.
