We are now delving into the murky area of the politics of sinful and often faltering and unbelieving men. Abraham Lincoln, the father of the GOP, had some ambivalence in his policy concerning chattel racial slavery, which we today universally recognize as a grave evil. He told the Southern slaves they could go free, but refrained from a similar declaration for the Northern slaves, in what was more a calculated military policy than a moral one. What is a “real Republican”? Any we have today would top Lincoln on that moral issue. I’m sure you want excellence in carrying out a political calling more than hewing to some sinners’ standard which never was cast in finely machined steel. And God can bring about that excellence in solitary or in the presence of worthy or unworthy men, assuming we have enough data to even judge who is unworthy.

No one is more non-machine than Palin
A real Republican would not be on a stage next to anyone from the Bush family, especially when they can't get it out of their fool heads that Reagan was somehow a liability.
Bwahaha! You need to check who Reagan's VEEP was, buddy!

It seems to be a matter of degree. Carrying on with a prostitute, here today and gone tomorrow, is not much more virtuous than carrying on with a family member related by marriage.

Hmmm. Interesting exegisis. You are saying that Paul's new testament injunction against knowing fornication was somehow controverted by an old testament instance of unknowing
fornication? I call BS right there.
How can you possibly call that unknowing fornication? The black words on the white page in my text make it very clear that Judah believed he was lying with a prostitute. The price (a young goat) was agreed before the act took place. When he went back to look for her he was clearly looking for not only a prostitute, but a "shrine prostitute", possibly a "temple prostitute" in your translation.
The only thing in doubt was her identity and relationship to him.

Again, you are mentioning "sin" and Solidwood doesn't want that. He wants to talk about the strategy of Sarah appearing on a stage with Romney and Bush. I think it's a formula for eeking out a lot of milky, mushy "compassionate conservative" goo. No one on such a stage will really be free to debate at this stage--and it just makes them look anemic. They should go out and define themselves as conservative individuals. They should put a little poetry and sting to their rhetoric, instead of depressing Republicans even further with Jeb's ideas of "forward-think." Remember what his Dad did? He called Reagan's economic ideas "vodoo economics" while Ronald was out calling for a massive reduction in taxes.

Reagan’s appearance came PRE— David Souter, “Read My Lips,” “Die for an Islamic Republic in Iraq” and “spend our way into the grave from 2001-2008. Reagan could not have known how truly EVIL the Bush family really was.

The words different, the apparently intended effect identical. Shoo and let a squirrel put you in its cheek.

Unkowning incest then. Your “point” is still pointless. Judah’s act was not endorsed by God, simply because Jesus was among his progeny, any more than David’s act of adultery was endorsed by God because Jesus was a son of David. You’re going to have to work very hard to turn fornication into a biblical virtue. Now, as Wood says, let’s get back to the thread.

It's not really about party. It's about being perceived as not part of the machine.When "the machine" is belching black smoke, leaking water from every gasket, backfiring, knocking, and quaking like a chihuahua trying to pass a peach pit...
...I'd say it's about a whole lot more than just being PERCEIVED as not being part of the machine; it's about really NOT being part of the machine.
And, since Jeb Bush missed the memo, "the machine" is NOT Reagan Conservatism; it is this neo-Rockefellerian fat cat GOP country clubbism that never has said -- and never will say -- anything meaningful to the DNC except "Oh, us too."
Reagan's Machine has been mothballed in a handicapped stall in an unused washroom in the back basement of RNC Headquarters since January 19th, 1989. It's just WAITING for some Conservative to show up who has stones enough to fire it up, twist that throttle all the way open and let it really air out.

And Sarah seems to be just the right size to ride that bad boy forth. Wipe off the cosmoline, add some fresh fuel, change the oil, and let’s go!

Excuses... bad excuses. Reagan ran with Bush, because Bush was the "moderate". It's a fine example of how in order to win you have too cooperate with characters you don't fully agree with. You bashed Palin for "palling around" with the RNC and said that NO conservative would be seen with Bush...
Here for you... Reagan on a stage with a happy Rockefeller...

AFTER he won, and AFTER he refused Ford a co-presidency. You want them to all glad-hand each other and play party-pals before they even take to the campaign trail. That's a formula anemic group-think. The Republican party needs a cowboy--not a member of the student council.

hey there little buddy.
I am 23 years old.
in the past...
1. I have smoked some weed
2. I had a lot of premarital sex
Does that make me less of a Christian ?
90% or more of people posting on Free Republic are just as guilty as I am.
To: se_ohio_young_conservative
It makes you a sinner. You shouldn’t be in fellowship with other Christians if you’re still in that state—unless you don’t believe in the New Testament.
