Powerful Christian force in GOP creating major tensions with mainstream Republicans

[Avatar4321]

The concept of America is "Every man for himself"?????

You've never heard of the concept "Charity starts at home"? What about the concept of SELF GOVERNMENT. You know, the concept our nation WAS Founded on. We are responsible for the duties God has given us. Those duties include taking care of ourselves, and ministering to our neighbors. Not robbing them blind to give ourselves goodies on our neighbors dime.

Ever heard phrases like:

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".

Yeah. Sure have. The Statement is completely contrary to the current agenda of the Democrat party who is concerned just about what the government can do for you and not what you can do for yourself or others.

or

"United we stand, divided we fall"?

Of course, so why dont you stop dividing this nation and start uniting it behind good and just principles? Or are you too concerned with power that you dont care if you sow hatred between neighbors because of how much money they might earn or because of the color of their skin or religious faith?

And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

"Brotherhood" being the operative word.

broth•er•hoodˈbrʌð ərˌhʊd(n.)
the condition or quality of being a brother or brothers.
the quality of being brotherly; fellowship.
the belief that all people should act with warmth and equality toward one another.

What does brotherhood mean?

And how do you create brotherhood by Robbing your brother? How do you create brotherhood by telling people to hate their neighbor because he has more money than you? Or lying about someone because they have different political ideas than you do? How do you create brotherhood from burdening the people with government regulation and taxes? How do you create brotherhood by making it more difficult for people to provide real charity towards one another?

I know you think these are just some cliches to help you get power over your fellow citizens. But not everyone does. And that's why you will lose in the end if you don't repent and change your ways.

E Pluribus Unum - Out of many, one.

And yet instead of uniting people, you divide them.

They haven't seen anything yet. It will only get worse.

Rise of the Religious Right in the Republican Party

 

[kidrocks]

These aren't the regular, traditional middle eastern Christians. These are American right wing Christians. A totally different religion.

These aren't "Christian" beliefs, at least not the Christianity we know. Even Bishops and Nuns have complained about what Republicans are doing. Jesus would never say corporations are people.

I'm waiting for Sarah Palin to throw her 2 cents in by coming out in favor of Akin's right to free-speech.

You don't think Akin has a right to free speech? What are you a communist?

What? You don't think Sarah Palin has a right to free speech? What are you? A communist perhaps?

No, just waiting for Palin to play the the 'free-speech' card as usual.

 

[Desperado]

Looks like the Republicans are trying too snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory.
Freaking shame since it is their election to loose.

Just stop. Seriously. Republicans are 90% white. They are divided from everyone. And the latest scheme pitting those under 55 against those over 55 is the last straw.

Look at their platform. Their economic policies. Their foreign policies. What is it you think they would do to help the nation.

Hint: Even they don't believe it. Otherwise, they wouldn't be resorting to voter suppression. They would run on policy.

Good!

The GOP needs that infighting as much as it needs a hole in the head but that is exactly what the doctor ordered as far as the Obama team is concerned. Let the bloodbath begin!





Conservative Christians rally around Akin in face of GOP criticism – CNN Belief Blog - CNN.com Blogs

(CNN) – Even as the official Republican Party continues to try to derail Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin over his remarks about “legitimate rape,” a powerful force within the GOP has begun rallying to the candidate’s side: the party’s socially conservative base.

Powerful Christian activists in the GOP have begun pushing back against party leadership...

Christians supporting Christians. What is this world coming to?

How about Christians supporting Mormons?

So now Mormons aren't Christian?

I think both choices suck......... you say look at their platform. Their economic policies. Their foreign policies. I have...and the Republicans have a very slight edge.
I say what is it you think the Democrats would do to help the nation?
BTW verifying someone is eligible to vote is not voter suppression.

 

[Dot Com]

The people who REALLY benefit from GObP policies (The wealthy) just cringe and accept it. However its either tolerate them or become a permanent minority party w/o them

 

[Jackson]

If Democrats are going to try to make an issue of Romneys religion, I suggest they try to remember Obama's mentor of 20 years and how proud they are of that man behind the president and his influence.

I'll take the purity of a real Christian any ol' day!

You don't think Akin has a right to free speech? What are you a communist?

A right to free speech does not translate to a right to public office.

When alot of people you know and respect tell you to step aside for the greater good, you should do it.

Why? That is their opinion, Akin has his own. And while free speech does not translate into the right to public office, it does translate into the right to run for public office.

Akin is a dumb ass for stating what he did. But the plank in the campaign platform of the GOP is no differant.

The plank actually doesnt reference banning abortion in case of rape.

"THE SANCTITY AND DIGNITY OF HUMAN LIFEFaithful to the "self-evident" truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment's protections apply to unborn children. We oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion or fund organizations which perform or advocate it and will not fund or subsidize health care which includes abortion coverage. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity of innocent human life. We oppose the non-consensual withholding or withdrawal of care or treatment, including food and water, from people with disabilities, including newborns, as well as the elderly and infirm, just as we oppose active and passive euthanasia and assisted suicide."

Considering they are going for it via an amendment it can only happen with large support from the electorate at both the state and federal level.

These aren't "Christian" beliefs, at least not the Christianity we know. Even Bishops and Nuns have complained about what Republicans are doing. Jesus would never say corporations are people.

Ahhh, more of the 'zombie facts' from the dweeb.
