Why we can now declare the end of ‘Christian America’
Washington Post ^ | February 25, 2016 | Norman Wirzba

Political elections are as much about those doing the electing as it is about those eventually elected. If each vote represents what a voter believes and hopes for, then the person elected is really a magnification of the desires voters happen to have.

This is why national elections are so fascinating. Every four years, Americans collectively paint and present to the world a picture that communicates their aspirations and fears. It is a picture that enables us to see the character of a nation.

The Washington Post states that:

"this is a nation consumed by fear, anger and suspicion, none of which are Christian virtues."

"How will America fare in this time of judgment, especially when we admit as evidence the millions of Americans (many of them children and the elderly) who do not have enough good food to eat, or the millions of Americans who have to drink water polluted with lead and industrial/agricultural pollutants?"

and

"What about the refugees and immigrants who are being refused at our borders and made to feel unwelcome in our land, or the homeless (many of them ill) who do not have a home and proper protection from the elements, or the prison inmates (many of them African American) who are treated like the garbage of society?"

So now demanding an end to lawlessness in Government and enforcement of the law is “fear, anger and suspicion”?

2008 showed that, well-enough.

I figured this would be an anti-Trump article, stating that it was the end of Christian America because evangelicals were voting for Trump.

Dear Progressives

Please sight for me the verse in the Bible where Christ states “take from the productive and give to the Political class so that they can buy the votes of certain activist groups in the name of “compassion”.

Like most Progressives trying to use Religiob to validate their Leftist political agenda, they miss the fact responsibility for your fellow man is a personal duty of the Christan, not one they can collectively push off onto the Government.

Wow! MILLIONS of Americans (many children and elderly) do not have enough water and food? What’s Obama been doing these last 8 years!?

All the po’ folk I see using the Lone Star card in front of me at Walmart are buying much more, and oftentimes much better food than I am. Although I see a lot more flavored drinks, sodas, and such rather than water, and lot more snacks and sugary treats than vegetables.

So breaking the law and encouraging lawless behavior is now virtuous? What strange world we live in.

The Washington Post now wants me to think it cared about Christian ethics in America.

Their comics section has expanded.

The proglodytes can get me to take any stock in their pronouncements when any prog stronghold such as California, Rhode Island or New York even gets close to the charitable giving record of much poorer states like Mississippi or Utah, the two states with both the highest percentage of church goers and charitable contributions as a percentage of their incomes.

Seems WaPo is eager to help usher in the Muslim Revolution here on US soil.

Since when did anyone at WaPo become an expert on Christian values?

On the one hand they pretend to be concerned with American children and the elderly...

“What about the refugees and immigrants who are being refused at our borders and made to feel unwelcome in our land, or the homeless (many of them ill) who do not have a home and proper protection from the elements, or the prison inmates (many of them African American) who are treated like the garbage of society?”

...On the other hand they want to give what little they have to illegal invaders and prison inmates who are the garbage of society! (not so much the prison inmates)

“refugees and immigrants who are being refused at our borders...or the homeless”

We don’t have enough affordable housing and the leftists want to let in more people?

Loony leftists are the bane of American politics.

Like I would pay any attention to people who think God is fine with homosexuality though His own words say otherwise.

The Washington Post will depend on the bird cage liner market if it keeps up the idiocy.
