you should respond to my post pointing out that Mitt is indeed arrogant.

The arrogance of you and your 'purist' cronies within FR is what is of of greater offense. What have you all collectively done for the greater good of America? Even now? You're by default campaigning for Obama.

For that matter, in what manner have you 'purist' Christians even been used by Christ as 'fishers of men'? You do not exhibit His Spirit in how you speak to others, treat others, or even condemn others. Yet, you act as if you are Christ's Ambassadors and speak for Him, better than any other Christians within FR.

It would do well if you and you 'purists' would read the Apostle Paul's writings and apply it to yourselves, as much as readings from Charles Spurgeon, such as from his How To Become Fishers of Men:

...here is a brother who says that he is faithful. Of course, I must believe him, yet I never heard of a sinner being saved under him. Indeed, I should think that the safest place for a person to be in if he did not want to be saved would be under this gentleman's ministry, because he does not preach anything that is likely to arouse, impress, or convince anybody. This brother is "faithful:" so he says.
Well, When Jesus Christ says, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men," he means that you shall really catch men—that you really shall save some; for he that never did get any fish is not a fisherman. He that never saved a sinner after years of work is not a minister of Christ. If the result of his life-work is nil, he made a mistake when he undertook it.
Go thou with the fire of God in thy hand and fling it among the stubble, and the stubble will burn. Be thou sure of that. Go thou and scatter the good seed: it may not all fall in fruitful places, but some of it will. Be thou sure of that. Do but shine, and some eye or other will be lightened thereby. Thou must, thou shalt succeed. But remember this is the Lord's word—"Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Keep close to Jesus, and do as Jesus did, in his spirit, and he will make you fishers of men.

It never ceases to amaze me how the Holier-Than-Thou Brigade comes marching into a thread, ANY thread these days to attack, denigrate, insult, smear, and snark away at the only possible political ticket that has the potential to defeat that traitorous Kenyan scumbag, and they do it with gleeful abandon, they start asserting that there is no difference between 0bama and Romney, that due to Romney's past or present positions on any number of topics, that we must NOT vote for the Republican ticket, that we must resign ourselves to four more years of the 0bamunist tyranny which is ramping up even now in anticipation of completing their agenda.

And make no mistake: 0bama's regime is an ANTI-CHRISTIAN regime, there is an absolute and easily documented history of how they have acted in ways that are diametrically opposed to any and every Christian doctrine, and even more: they have demonstrated their affinity with proven haters of America, from the macro level of nation-state, down to the micro level of individual God-hating, America-reviling individuals.

But the Holier-Than-Thou Brigade (hereafter 'HTTB') sees no hypocrisy in their default support of 0bama via their openly declared hostility to Romney & Ryan. In their delusional minds, they see themselves as some sort of ragtag 'God's Army', refusing to vote AGAINST 0bama, because Romney "just isn't conservative enough". So in order that the rest of us, AND what's left of our American Republic, may be 'taught the proper lesson', the HTTB nit wits will rejoice if and when 0bama wins that second term on November 6th. Their hypocritical and judgmental tongues are wound up tighter than bedsprings, cocked and loaded to unleash unlimited "WE TOLD YOU SO's!!!!" and to admonish one and all that because we "didn't listen to them", that it is OUR fault that 0bama will have won a second term.

Can you follow that circular lack-of-logic?

1.) The HTTB crowd conducts constant and consistent attacks on the political team that OPPOSES 0bama-Biden.

2.) The HTTB justification for (1) is that Romney & Ryan "are not conservative enough", and they cite any and every possible factoid they can find (cherry picking data, just like liberals do), and they accuse anyone who expresses support FOR what is the 'anti-0bama team' (aka Romney & Ryan) of being 'MittBots', 'RINOs', 'sell-outs', 'compromisers', and all of that garbage that everyone has seen way too much already, all the while accusing those supporting Romney & Ryan of being 'uncivil' (and here is a clue for those members of the HTTB about 'incivility', you REAP what you SOW!)

3.) And the HTTB is always willing to start off their backstabbing by quoting any number of Scriptures which are conveniently chosen to somehow add 'weight' to their attacks (because truth be told, they are in fact LIGHTWEIGHTS), and the inevitable anti-Mormon slurs start getting slung around, with one truly notorious FR poster/spammer carpet bombing threads with every imaginable piece of anti-Mormon invective, and yet they fail to comprehend (as my good FRiend StephenJohnBanker has said many times) that WE ARE NOT ELECTING A POPE, we are electing a President. Mitt Romney's religious beliefs are between him and God. And the HTTB crew needs to decide if they are more comfortable with a charitable, generous, non-smoking, non-drinking Mormon who doesn't beat or cheat on his wife, whose family is a model of upright and moral living, OR they would prefer to have the anti-Christian Kenyan-Marxist in Chief ruling over our Nation for ANOTHER 4 years?

4.) And as other reality-based FReepers have noted lately, the Romney-haters seldom have anything critical to say about 0bama and his abominable gang of liars, crooks, schemers and traitors. Why you ask? Because in their fevered minds, they truly DO believe that there is no difference between 0bama and Romney. They are utterly disconnected from reality. They have snorted, injected or swallowed the substance called '110 percent ideologically and conservatively more pure than any other substance' and believe they and they alone are the bearers of the torch, the defenders of the faith, the holders of all things conservative that we cherish and that ANYBODY who has dared to vote AGAINST 0bama by pulling the lever for Romney & Ryan is a traitor to Christian conservatism.

THAT is the sort of unhinged madness that we are facing FRiends, we not only have to fight the 0bamunists between now and November 6th, we have to try and avoid the knives in the back being thrust in by those allegedly ON OUR OWN SIDE!

And here is the difference between them and us:

WE view this election as the final and last opportunity to save our Nation from tyranny and that 'Thousand Years of Darkness' that Ronald Reagan warned us of. The HTTB views this election as THEIR final opportunity to prove themselves right, and if that means contributing openly or covertly to the victory of 0bama-Biden, then so be it. Their pride, ego and arrogance have consumed them and in order to justify themselves, America must be sentenced to another 4 years of 0bama because "we deserve it".

Ask yourselves, knowing what you know of Ronald Reagan, the greatest President of the 20th Century, if HE would be sitting on the sidelines, casting aspersions at Romney & Ryan, pontificating on how his 'pure' conservative beliefs would NEVER allow him to support the current GOP ticket,

OR:

Would the Gipper be out there on the front lines, encouraging, cheering, rallying voters to vote OUT that filthy Communist in the White House and to vote for Romney & Ryan on November 6th?

You all know what Reagan would do. He put our Nation first, in all things. And that is what we ALL must do now, and fight without ceasing to rid America of the curse of 0bama.

Now let's DO it.
