If the current Republicans fail, I’m done. I’ll focus my time and energy on what comes later.

This subject makes me so angry, I can’t see straight. I tried for YEARS to help instill values in public school children and can count on the fingers of ONE hand the number of adults who tried to give me support. I simply don’t want to hear it anymore from ANYONE. Administrators constantly accused me of putting “politics” in the classroom. People are getting exactly what they deserve for failure to stand up and defend those trying to do what is right.

No, with John-John and Francisco Franco, Jimmy Hoffa and Jim Varney.

Who are the religious leaders of today? Does any one of them have the character and ability to replace those of times past?

You posted: The article assumes that you are dealing with a rational being and that your arguments will sway Liberals/Progressives/Atheists. It has been shown many times that Liberals/Progressives/Atheists are anything but rational.

Discussing anything with Liberals/Progressives/Atheists is like trying to put a cloud in a box.

I don’t disagree with any of your statement. However, even liberals do think and understand, despite their apparent lack of reason. In the quietude of their rooms, or perhaps sitting on the toilet, statements of reason can creep in, and they have to admit to themselves if no one else, that what has been pointed out to them is right. We must never stop presenting our arguments of reason. They sow seeds of reason in those who hear them, which eventually may bear fruit.

Argument:

IF ‘Paul’ wrote that Christians should lead lives, and be the evidence of things, to make the rest of the world envious to poseess what they see in Christians ....
How does a Christian accomplish that, when they keep their mouth shut?
Was it not Christians that talked back against slavery?
was it not Christians that talked back about Communism, causing so many to find a truth hidden, and then the strength to get out of a devilish system?

We have come to live in a time where to say anything that IS wrong, is to say something heretical.
We have come to a time in America, where one does not wish to lose what they have, what they do, or what defines them, in the face of: “Yeah? You and what army?”

From what I remember, Christianity ain’t about what you got in your pocket, or over your head, or what you are just about to shove in your mouth. I believe that it is written that if you do what you are supposed to do, as it has already been defined in the book, those things will be covered. It might not be a Maserati, a four bedroom home, or a filet mignon on your plate with the trimmings, or that omega on your wrist, but you will be taken care of, in faith. Elijah had crows bring him food. Remember that.

As long as you keep your mouth shut about what you believe, you can’t get anyone to come closer to get the rest of the story.

So by not voting you’d vote Obama?

Makes a whole lot of sense! Especially if you want to win elections.

I’m by NO MEANS a GOP fan. I’m more Tea Party than anything. Still, the fact remains, those who didn’t vote cost CONSERVATIVES the election. Lesser of two evils so to say, you don’t see it that way fine....I don’t see it your way.

Well...a lot of my fellow Christians didn’t want to pull the lever for Romney.

Actually, a lot of your fellow Christians DID NOT pull the lever for Romney.

His support for Abortion and the Gay Agenda was a "bridge too far" for many of us.

Your understanding of politics in the United States is remarkably identical to Karl Rove’s.

After all - conservatives “have no other place to go” than the GOP, right?

Because of YOUR attitude, the GOP feels free to nominate those who violate the principles which make so many people conservative - and then they (and you) denigrate those conservatives that preserve their own integrity by standing up for your principles.

I pity you.

B.S.

Logical fallacy and just another "smoke-screen" argument for completely violating your principles as a Christian out of fear.

Yes, but the choice we had was better than what we’ve got.

Not by much.

Read my tagline.

Don't care how or if you vote. Haven't indicated I did or do. Nonsensical and somewhat bitter response on your part. What's your problem, Tea Partier-more-than-anything?
