Some old, some new, some borrowed... only the links are blue.

Substantive responses welcome. I do not intend to interact with reactions that give no indication of having read and considered the whole long essay, go into irrelevancies, or seem simply to be provocative. Nor do I intend to reinvent the wheel, nor provide links establishing that the word is round.

Hope this is of some good use.

Yawn.

[BunnySlippers]

Yet that hasn't even slowed them in dealing in the most hostile manner, and calling me the most extraordinary names, without warrant.

Hmmm ... do tell.

[Quix]

STRONGLY AGREE.

Such an impressive documentation. I saved it in my Christian files.

Much appreciated.

Not that I expect it to sway those RELIGIOUS types with mentalities and constructions on reality fossilized in concrete . . . but . . . it's unlikely Gabriel from Heaven would either.

Very, very well done. Couldn't have said it as well myself.

THANKS ENORMOUSLY.

Helped put into words things I'd only felt so far.

God's best to you and yours.

Dan, thanks for spelling out your position. I have been one of your harsher critics and I still feel you are very wrong.

God calls us to do what is right and to leave the results to Him. Supporting a pro-abort is never right.

When did Tom support domestic partnerships? Can you cite the bill number and date?

I find it interesting that God says He hates the shedding of innocent blood and you insist on supporting someone who fully supports that action. All the best.

I'd count up all the "I's" you have in your essay but I don't have the time. Suffice to say, there are plenty. That makes your essay more about you than the actual topic. How Christians could justify voting for a person like Arnold; hesitating to call him a man because he doesn't have the character of a real man, is amazing to me. Each day proves his character truly flawed for the position of authority and leadership.

[ex-Texan]

Bravo, Sir, Bravo !!

I agree with you and your considerations. Standing applause can be heard from this corner of the room.

[FairOpinion]

This is a superb, detailed essay, right on target.

You did an excellent job. I think it would convince anyone who is really planning to vote for McClintock, instead of Arnold out of Christian considerations, to change their minds.

I hope those people will read your essay.

I think all real conservatives should vote against the Democrats, and the way to do that is to vote for the recall and for Schwarzenegger. Anything else helps the Democrats who are Christianity's worst enemies -- witness the escalation of attacks on Christianity in recent times.

This is a critical election: do we vote to push the Democrats back, or do we vote to strengthen their power.

Schwarzenegger needs to win, and needs to win by a landslide, to be able to recapture California from the Democrats who want to destroy Christianity.

And I will maintain the thought that he is likelier to respond to a loving witness, than to the seething and volcanic hatred that I have seen some of my professing fellow-Christians express towards him, and towards anyone who dares to speak a kind word about him, day after day.

No worse than the seething and volcanic hatred to McClintock and his supporters. Many Arnold supporters here have been more outrageous and offensive than anything Arnold has done. Your cohorts could have garnered more support without resorting to juvenile tactics, but instead they're a major turn-off.

Physician heal thyself.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Thank you.

[alnick]

You obviously put a lot of time and thought into your post. Thank you. I found it interesting and educational.

[Paradox]

I must say, an excellent post. I do not consider myself a Christian, but I usually have the utmost respect for the ones I know and meet. You have educated me, and have brought my level of esteem for Christians into an even higher plane. Thank you.

[socal_parrot]

Well deserved bump.

Arnold HELPS Bush get re-elected, HELPS the effort to extend the Pubbie lead in the Senate and therefore, HELPS get W's judges get confirmed.

Very Well Thought Out and Written Ping

"I just declined to vote for Tom McClintock"
There are no excuses for voting for a person that supports mass murder of babies.

[chicagolady]

From one calvinist to another, Good job.
