More Hope and Change for America...
Mere Rhetoric discovered the Left's latest "Get Out the Vote" humor ad.
The video starts out with Sarah Palin describing her foreign policy experience as Governor of Alaska. Then big 300 pound football player Terry Tate slams her to the ground and mocks her as she cringes in pain: (attack at 1:20 of the video)

Beating women... it’s Democrat humor. We can’t understand it.
That’s terrible!
Women need to STAY HOME - IN THE KITCHEN - Pregnant, bare foot - AND while your at it, GET ME MY DINNER...... That’s what i think Obama supporter think of women (Women are strong, but not good enough to be President)
He is no football player
Just plays one on ads.
wonder how this will work with the Hillary people?
This is an open question to Christian Freepers: Where does the line between loving my brother and self-defense of another end?
While liberals protest the just use of force and punishment by the State, and seek to feminize boys, they can revel in the unjust use of violence, even by a player in a sport which would be destroyed if conformed to liberal philosophy.
But but but ... it’s only the Republicans advocating violence against Obama!!!
Liberals support violence towards women. It’s so funny, PING.
It’s racist to criticize this ad.
Seriously, the MSM should be outraged at this, but they aren’t.
That ad made me want to throw up. I was waiting for it, but it still shocked me more than I expected. Have they caught this on the Puma forums, yet?
Bryant Gumbel?
Add a negative comment, give it a 1 star, and flag it as containing violent conduct.
Very good question, one that i myself have thought and prayed about.
What is clear is that the New Covenant, which was instituted by the death of the Testator (Heb. 9:16), disallows the church ruling over those without (no Theocracies), as well as retaliation by physical force, or the use of violence in order to defend or expand the faith. In addition to explicit precepts, the Holy Spirit provides us with no precedent by the N.T. church to so do.
(1 Cor 5:12-13) “For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? {13} But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.”
(Mat 5:39) “But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”
(Rom 12:19) “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”
(1 Pet 2:20-21) “For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. {21} For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:”
(2 Cor 10:3) “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:”
(Eph 6:12) “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
I believe that this also disallows personal self defense, except *perhaps* where necesary to save others from an immediate threat in a non religious context. The other exception is that of the use of force, if needed, in raising children, in which the parents are the first form of government. But even discipline in the church was not by physical means except in the passive form of disfellowship, and instead pro active punishment was done by spiritual means (Acts 5; 1 Tim. 1:20).
While the Scripture expliclty sanction the just use of the sword of men to punisgh evil doers (Rm. 13:1-7; 1 Pet.2:14-16), Christians, in short, are expected to be be willing, if not seeking to be, martyrs, and in fact =confessing Jesus as Lord (Rm. 10:9) to the exclusion of Caesar radically reduced your life expectancy in the first century!
And rather than raising armies, and beginning a cycle of violence in seeking to fight their enemies on their level, it was because the early church “loved not their lives to the death” (Rv. 12:11), and “took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance” (Heb 10:34), that the church grew exponentially, they manifested real faith, and love for enemies of a manner their adversaries did not have (unlike swords), and true seekers were drawn to.
needs to be seen by more people bump
