"So I look at the success that conservatives on the so-called Christian right have had in claiming him as their exclusive property, and I wonder: Where in the heck is the Christian left?"

[They should be busy trying to find the verses in the Bible that support what the Democratic party stands for.]

"Where are the people who preach -- and live -- the biblical values of inclusion, service, humility and sacrifice, and why haven't they coalesced into an alternative political force?"

[They were right there next to you, most likely in line to vote just before or after you. To cancel your vote.]

"Instead of a movement like that, we have an old peanut farmer building houses for the poor."

[Jimmy Carter might have been a horrible president but I would not belittle his work with "Habitat for Humanity" like this. Talk about bitter.]

"You wish there were Christian people shouting from the rooftops that these other people do not represent all of us."

[They shouted from the rooftops. We all heard them, and 3.5 million of them did not shout 'John Kerry', they shouted 'George Bush'.]

"And that the faith exemplified by the politics of exclusion is not the faith that the rest of us celebrate, (and) not the faith that lifts us and settles us and makes us whole."

[That seems to ring true. Democrats are the only party teaching 'exclusion'.]

"But nobody's shouting these things. It occurs to me that maybe they're all too busy building houses for poor people. And that maybe I should be as well."

[You might as well try construction, because the last 6 words of that sentence shows that you missed the basic lessons of 4th grade grammer.]

And the 1.6 million abortions a year that his leadership
of the democratic party is the instigator for?
After 40 million dead in the U.S. alone they say it
wrong to fight against our enemies?

Bad to loose 1000 men fighting terroists after 3000
Americans were murdered in 1 hour?
But ok to kill 1.6 million children a year?
God says that all our good deeds are like filthy rags.
One can not get into heaven by good deeds.


Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
