Pete Buttigieg's knee-jerk compulsion to scold Christians pops up again at second debate
American Thinker ^ | 06/28/2019 | Monica Showalter

If you ask me to pick a winner at the Democratic debate on night two in Miami, I would have said Pete Buttigieg.  He came off as reasonable, clear-thinking, pithy, and pleasant.  He respected time limits.  I didn't agree with him on anything, but he gave a sense of coming from rational grounding.  Maybe his leftie ideas could be tempered with real-world realities.  Maybe he could be persuaded...

But then, then, then, then...he couldn't stop himself.  The transcript:

We have to talk about one other thing, the Republican Party likes to cloak itself in the language of religion. Now, our party doesn't talk about that as much, largely for a very good reason, which was we are committed to the separation of church and state. We stand for people of any religion and no religion. But we should call out hypocrisy, for a party that associates itself with Christianity."

Buttigieg whipped out for about the umpteenth time his unsolicited opinion about just how un-Christian all those inadequate, wicked, dare-I-say sinful Christians out there really are, hooking his argument up to the border surge issue.  Gotcha.  Bad Christians.  Not like good-Christian me, that paragon of all virtue-signals.

It was about as attractive as a fart in church.

Here's the video of him coming out with his Inner Scold at no one's request:

What's interesting is that most of the rabid left, whose Democratic Party he identifies with, prefer to launch attacks on Christianity itself.  They hate Christianity, not to mention the idea of God.  It's obvious in their court cases challenging this cross or that manger scene in public space, prayer in public schools, crosses at military cemeteries, etc.  Democrats themselves have booed God at one of their recent party conventions.  President Obama rarely ever went to church services, and his references to faith in speeches always threw in the non-faith of atheists into his mix,

Buttgig is a mentally ill person who does a good job of hiding his mental illness. He almost seems like a normal guy.

A lot of disturbed individuals have this skill.

I recall how Obama said he was attracted to Christianity as an adult, by tenets of Christianity such as how we are our brother’s keeper, and our sister’s keeper.

To me, such a mangled and incorrect interpretation of a story from The Bible, shows just how little Obama really understands his alleged faith.

This pervert is a deceptive ultra-leftist. He gives Obama a run for his money when it comes to deception and lies.

Typical EXTREME DemocRAT.

Butt-boy feels he has to bring it up because ever major religion's orthodox belief system condemns homosexuality—Christian, Jewish, Mohammedan.

“He came off as reasonable, clear-thinking, pithy, and pleasant. He respected time limits.”

There are countless millions of Americans who fit that description, so why is it something to make a person who is running for the presidency stand out? We must have a low bar for presidential candidates.

Back in the days when we had mental institutions, an author decided to pose as a mentally ill inmate in order to get the inside story.

He fooled all of the staff to get in, but the inmates figured out he wasn't one of them by the second day. So it was a fairly short story.

That’s exactly it. He’s obsessed with “calling out” the supposed hypocrisy of Christianity because Christianity, in its orthodox form, disapproves of his sodomite behavior. Deep down, most of the homosexuals know that their behavior is morally and biologically wrong. As a result, they constantly seek to shout down and silence those who openly disapprove of them. Ultimately, the ones they are trying to fool are themselves.

He doesn’t hide it at all.

I heard Buttigig(sp?) goes to church, I think one of the Protestant denominations? Is he going to say he’s really a religious person, why is he bringing it up?

“A lot of disturbed individuals have this skill’’. They do indeed and many of them are highly intelligent, manipulative and dangerous.

How can any man who is "married" to some guy he calls his "husband" and who wants to have a "family" in the White House be considered mainstream much less clinically sane?

Mayor Buttplug lies with gay abandon. Whatever conscience he may have had has apparently been burnt beyond all recognition. He is mocking the Bible and Jesus by his very words and deeds.

It’s his “in your face” (literally) false Christian shtick that ticks me off.

A practicing homosexual CAN NOT BE a Christian.

An active serial killer can not be a Christian.

A practicing abortionist can not be a Christian. (wait... didn’t I just say that?)

A practicing pedophile can not be a Christian.

ALL may be forgiven of their sins by repenting and asking Jesus for forgiveness.

John 8:11 NIV

“No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,”Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Go now Pete and leave your life of butt ******* and **** ******* sin.

The saddest part Pete, is that you really think you can fool God. It is you Pete, who is the fool.

WWJD. Would Jesus do the things YOU do? I feel dirty even asking the question.

Hey Pete, this verse is about you.

John 8:44 NIV

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

He never had any interest in Christianity until Jeremiah Wright showed him how it could be twisted into a vehicle for carrying a Marxist message.

Being a christian doesn't mean you have to let people steal and take advantage of you, Also, migrants in the time of Jesus were all from inside the Roman empire which is completely different than we have today where illegal immigration is being encouraged and financed by enemies of the state. Besides helping the poor ( which is only charitable if not forced but voluntary) Christians are taught to obey the government to protect the state. While government isn't exactly perfect, God’s mercy on us would rather have us live in order than chaos. Or simply put, using the bible to condone illegal immigration by sound good in the surface, but is a weak argument to bash Christians as hypocrites,
