BAHAHAHA!!! I LOVE this! Growing up in Seattle, i seemed pretty conservative (in comparison), but i’ve just recently moved to Bible-belt Florida. I’m now convinced i’m a hippie communist. *amused snort* But yeah, TOTALLY love this post! xD

It’s funny (meaning ironic) how the Bible also says the government “carries the sword…” (liberals and progressives don’t often like that part of the quote) “…to administer justice.” Wow, that sounds like law and order stuff. Let’s see, what do you do with a sword? Oh thats right, put it on a statue for show – to make it look like we mean business. Failing to act justly has consequences, whether it is failing because our government is over weight and bloated or if people do not act for themselves and help our neighbors in need (both are parts of the same problem – and one leads to the other).

It is erroneous to say that this country was founded by Christian men. Maybe a few, but a great many would identify as deists. Deism is a long way off from Christianity.

THIS IS GOOOOLD.
Rachel, I will be quietly giggling about this until I wake.
Though I am sad that Anderson “Silver Fox” Cooper’s hair didn’t make an appearance on this blog post.

I am so sorry to have to leave this blog after reading this post. If you know history, you know that progressivism and the idea behind it stems from the belief in evolution and all things changing. It began with Darwin. It does not lie in the unchanging truth in Christ. To allow the government to constantly grow and take more from its productive citizens to support an ever-growing number of unproductive citizens is stealing – straight up. I, like so many other conservatives, am committed to taking care of my neighbors by volunteering, tithing and giving to charities, but no where in the Bible does it instruct the government to demand that of its citizens. This country was founded by Christian men escaping an overreaching government and to use the Bible to guilt Christians into going back to that is a twisting of the Truth.

I love it! And as to the previous comment about Christians being responsible for taking care of the poor; nice to see but in reality it doesn’t work. If it weren’t for government programs we would have ‘the poor’ dying all around us. Remember our Forefathers words: “Promote the general welfare.” (And yes, Limbaugh is a jerk and Beck is a delusional fanatic.)

With ya 100% on the #3 thing. I find it very hard in elections to voye because I feel voting for a democrat who is very openly pro-abortion is against what I believe in, yet I agree with them on most other issues. Along with the fact that I feel supporting a republican might just one day destroy my own personal life if they decide to cut funding to the drug treatment program I’m in. It presents a hard time for me. I become one of the people who just doesn’t vote.

The people that inspire me the most are Ed Shultz, Keith Olberman, and Randy Rhodes….the radio talk show hostess.
