...in this war the democrats ARE the freaking enemy!...the DEMOCRATS are the enemy

Let's focus on assumptions.

Don't Christians take our cultural cue from a certain "Lord" named Jesus Christ? Who are we to follow when it comes to setting cultural priorities? Jesus and the apostle Paul? or samtheman?

Here's Jesus:

"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." (Luke 12:4-5)

So does Jesus say, "fear the Democrats & Obamaists?" (No)
Instead, does He say to exercise fear of the One who has authority to cast somebody into hell? (Yes)
So, indeed, our "fear" is on behalf of those who are placing their eternal spiritual lives at risk.

As for "uniting" with cultists behind an anti-Democrat cause, I could probably guess that the folks who the apostle Paul warned the church @ Ephesus about had the bulk in common with the sheep there. Both groups were "religious." So, did Paul play the "allies"-game-don't-divide-us-you're playing? (No)

As Paul was leaving the church of Ephesus, he warned them with this high-priority alert:

"I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears." (Acts 20:29-31)

Paul's cultural priority? (Defend against the false disciples who will proselytize the flock and draw away men unto themselves!)

Tell me something, Sam: If you did something tearfully night and day for three years, do you think it's rather important? So what? We're just to conclude, "Oh, the man who contributed a good chunk to the New Testament -- what does he know about cultural priorities?"

I'll take Paul's and Jesus' already-revealed priorities to your guesswork based upon bashing those willing to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 3)

Look, you want to play interpret the bible, go ahead. I’m not into that.

I want to talk about what we are up against TODAY.

You do know that if the ENEMY gets their way, their FULL way, you better HIDE that bible of yours or they’re going to BURN it. You do know that, right?

And it’s not the MORMONS I’m talking about.

You do know that, don’t you?

That there are people, leftists and islamists, who want to take your bible, burn it, shove the ashes down your throat and make you swallow it dry.

You do know that, don’t you?

If you don’t, I feel sorry for you.

If you don’t, you’re a sheep being led to slaughter.
