I noticed Ms. Leonard was wearing a crucifix and noted that among the most basic tenets of Christianity is caring for the sick and the poor.

Liberal atheist nut cases trying to tell Christians what is in the Bible (WITHOUT ever reading it).

What I have read and understood from the Bible is that God and Jesus wants us to help each other by using our own time, treasure and talent and to give from our hearts ("Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." - 2 Corinthians 9:7). Nowhere have I found anything along the lines of "Go out and institute huge bureaucracies that will take money from some people at the point of a sword and give that money to other people as a politician sees fit."

In this grim place of long shadows and short tempers, paranoia is the coin of the realm.

Fear trumps fact. ETC.

Is this guy a drama queen or what?

Why is it that libs ALL SOUND THE SAME?? All you have to do is read the first few lines to realize where this thing is going? They ALL SOUND THE SAME!! It’s like a freakin’ cookie cutter. And they all think they’re being clever. And original. AAAAAA!!!!!

Many libs are misinterpreting what they are seeing. But that’s ok, because it gives time for this movement to reach critical mass.

The Sleeping Giant is awake, and boy is he pi$$ed. And that Sleeping Giant isn’t just “right wingers”; it’s Democrats, working class citizens, the elderly...

When have we ever seen the elderly protest to this extent?

Yeah, but that comes after Thou shalt not steal

PS I think you’re exactly right. Liberals like to pass their individual Christian responsibilities off on government.

In this alternate reality, history is malleable. If the record doesn't match the Mob's memory or support its agenda, it must be hammered into shape. Nothing is what it seems, anyway, except of course those things that really are what they seem.

It's amazing how the moonbats sometimes really do hit the nail squarely on the head by talking about us but describing exactly who they are!

Ya see most of the Christians I know do not think it is the governments responsibility to care for the sick and the poor.

It is each and every persons responsibility. We are not to turn your back and let the government do it.

I bet that the percentage of people at yesterday's rally who have actually read and understand the Constitution is far higher percentage than those who rally for the dems.

“I spent an hour in an alternate reality on Thursday.”

I spent 5 minutes in an alternate reality just now by reading this jerks opinion piece.

Scranton is a very blue-collar area, and reading the Constitution is probably not high on many peoples’ To Do list. Also factor in that teaching The Constitution is left to NEA members. ‘nuff said.

Oh oh, the whole nation is nuts, except for a Times opinionater named Chris Kelly, who admits he spent a whole hour outside the safety of his mothers basement on Thursday.

It seems however, that he is the one experiencing systems of paranoid schizophrenia. He talks to absolutely no one during his hour long excursion in a "grim place of long shadows and short tempers" as he puts it, experiencing nobody's temper but his own, or the one belonging to a voice in his head. Only he knows for sure.

He should seek some professional help however. This hour long excursion of his, and all the paranoid delusions he describes while out of the safety of his mothers basement, was simply a walk outside the safety of his 4 walls to pick up the morning paper.
