I believe the Religious Left is tax exempt... When they begin to pay taxes, I might give a shiite what they think.

[relictele]

They want to raise taxes, so as usual the emphasis is more on the ‘left’ and less on the ‘religious.’

[Em and Brets Mum]

Religious Left = Oxy morons

[DB]

The left simply believes your stuff is their stuff.

Or to put it more simply, they are thieves with a cause.

It’s the ends justify the means crowd, the kind of people who produce the Stalin’s, Mao’s and Hitler’s of the world all in the name of the greater good.

absurd scapegoating of Muslim folks and gay folks

Anyone besides me ever wonder what sharia law has to say about “gay folk” ?

[The_Media_never_lie]

This is satire, right? Surely we don’t have US citizens this oblivious.

[Venturer]

I am not so smart, but I am getting older and with age comes a certain wisdom that comes from experience.

In my experience I have noticed that a raise in tax’s never lowers the debt. IOt just gives government more money to spend on people who do nothing to earn that money.

Raised tax’s buys entitlements and never-—never in my lifetime has lowered the National debt.

If you give more money to Government , they will merely throw it away.

Of course for the religious left this appears to be what they want.

Tax me to pay for their vote.

[T]he unsustainability…of our extractive, fossil-fuel-based, corporatist-militarist economy, or our indefensible, irresponsible, nearly unbelievable failure to address energy policy and climate change, or the absurd scapegoating of Muslim folks and gay folks...

This reads just like the lefty-progs' letters to the editor and on-line comments in the local paper. When the approved message gets out there, they certainly pound their "points".

[no-to-illegals]

There has been two words, Safety Net, which have been batted around for a number of years by both the left and right. Those words have left me wondering what was meant by those who spoke these words; The Safety Net should not be removed, for if the Safety Net is removed there will be repercussions detrimental to America. My thoughts were there is no such thing as an actual Safety Net. There is only the illusion of a Safety Net. Once the illusion fades, those unprepared lose their illusion of safety in a net (think of a netted fish), as something called desperation fills the void. Think I'll have another cup of coffee; my Safety Net.

The words “religious” and “left” put together make an oxymoron.

[HarleyD]

“Religious Left” is an oxymoron.

[flowerplough]

Religious left? Which religion?

“How can Christians, as well as other persons who share similar values, vote for a candidate who wants to persecute them for their views and to compel them, against their consciences and subject to civil penalties, to be indoctrinated and participate in the affirmation of immoral practices? In short, how can Christians vote for someone who will insure society’s regard for them as bigots?”

The religious left’s first commandment is thou shall covet other people’s wealth.

[Condor51]

The term "The Religious Left" is an oxymoron. Everything they preach is 180^o from the New Testament and what Jesus said. Starting with the Sermon on the Mount.

'In the Sermon on the Mount' (Gospel of Matthew), Jesus said:

"And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well."₍₁₎

Note that is all about GIVING FREELY, aka: Charity. NOT confiscation by a government for redistribution as 'Caesar' sees fit!

And in Luke 6:31 Jesus says:

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

So how does that square with TAKING from others against their will as I'm sure that NOBODY wants that to be done to them at the point of a sword. Or as per Obama's advisors, a barrel of a gun.

Not to mention what the left wants is nothing but pure and simple: COVETING of your neighbor's goods. And last I looked that was still a sin per the Ten Commandments.

Ergo, there cannot be a "Religious Left" as the Left is about TAKING and by FORCE. There is no 'giving of' by Free Will involved

(1) That 'someone' referred to is a PERSON, not a government that's suing you for your tunic.

Religious left - worshipping the Internal Revenue Service and other false gods.
