Yep....just like the Dems, all they want is money and votes
Principles be damned
I never thought I would live to see the day. It will be us VS them. I guess it always has been..... just didn’t want to believe it.
Have a Happy New Year Vet!
“When one thinks about it, Christianity is an inherently left-wing religious system. This extends from Jesus Christ, the ultimate hippie of his day — if he did indeed exist —”
The authors beliefs aside, wouldn’t it blow the brains of both left and right if the Christian Democratic Party arose?
Certainly the European version is left, but ours would be an entirely different viewpoint.
Some Freeper will be along shortly to agree with Joecotototo.
I feel so used every time the GOPe presumes to have my vote. It is time for the silent majority to give the boot to the godless GOPe.
And vice-versa.
The GOP is no longer the party of the right. They are nothing but undercover DemocRats.
I have frequently said, and firmly believe, that the biggest enemies of social conservatives are liberal Republicans.

The GOP is finally out of the closet now, rather than fellating the Dems behind closed doors.
The 2016 election cycle will witness their marriage and the rise of a new Conservative party by the rest of us who can’t stand the old parties. There are lots of angry Dems too - and they will end up voting for Trump in order to protect their jobs.
Only the dyed in the wool communists will vote for Hillary or the GOPe.
The fact is, the pro-pot, gay marriage wing of the “conservative” party appeals only to a handful of self-centered white male millennials, who would be lucky if they were sober enough to find their polls to vote on on election day.
Their pro-pot, pro-abortion, gay marriage, anti-military views would be better suited to the Democratic party. We'd be better off if they took their self-serving, disruptive 2% and screwed up that party - instead of demanding that thee pissant little Napoleons take over the Republican party with their loser-stoner demands.
This guy’s questioning whether Jesus even existed gives insight into his worldview. He’s probably an atheist.
Atheists are none to fond of Christians, and there M.O. the last few centuries has been in their minds the belittlement of Christianity.
For the GOP to jettison conservative Christianity would be parallel to the Dems driving out minorities. The numbers lost would doom their existence as a separate party, but more likely is the takeover of their party by a movement determined to elevate conservatism in all its forms.
Who is this guy and how big a following does he have?
He sounds like a Wing-nut!
Great points.
Guy looks like a gutless little fairy.
No, it's time for the Christian right to shove it up their backside and break it off inside them.
I urged anyone who would listen in Kentucky and Mississippi to burn those two bastards, but everyone kept saying "I couldn't possibly vote for the Democrat!"
Instead, you have just empowered our much more dangerous enemies within our existing party structure.
It's long past time we stopped taking this crap from the Liberal elite of the party. F*** them, and F*** their arrogance. We can burn them, and that is what we should do.
