(I like Bush's handling of the war too.)<BR/><BR/>Most of what passes for Christianity these days looks to me like exactly what Jesus was fighting. Men without understanding acting like they know something and using power to enforce what they think they know. <BR/><BR/>If we had more humility about our ignorance we would not be so quick to punish. Wasn't that the message of Jesus? Or did I miss it?<BR/><BR/>Why did Jesus hang out with the outcasts? Was there a message there?<BR/><BR/>I always thought Jesus was very libertarian in his political outlook. Punish crime, regulate vice.<BR/><BR/>When this country was founded its leaders were each in his own way very religious. The country had a much more libertarian flavor. Over time we have lost our tue Christianity. Thus the growth of government. It has to. Crime is limited, vice is not. <BR/><BR/>Well vice will be stomped.

Does it go back to "selfish mode" because their caring for the downtrodden is more about filling a position in their head than the actual deed of reaching out? Although I have seen some "fake it" when they have another motive or agenda to accomplish... and do remember that "caring" or "giving" are good attributes to have, but if you can't apply those into "action" then it seems that some choose to pretend that they are capable of or have at some time been capable of it just because of some close proximity. You know...remember the guy in high school that never cut it for sports so he chose to work the scoreboard to be part of the game and later in college was spouting off as if he was the first string quarterback?LiquidLifeHackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01949269503629475002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1129724123792744302005-10-19T05:15:00.000-07:002005-10-19T05:15:00.000-07:00- well, many of them live a rather 'comfy' lifesty...- well, many of them live a rather 'comfy' lifestyle in their struggle to uplift the downtrodden, impoverished victims. Ever seen a Lefty in the presence of one of the downtrodden, in particular one demonstrating some irrationality and anger? It is quite a sight to see...idealism and privlige quickly just sort of go away, replaced with abject panic in which the champion has nothing to offer and nothing in common...goeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781857563232791703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1129682814793527772005-10-18T17:46:00.000-07:002005-10-18T17:46:00.000-07:00I agree Bob...many liberals cannot stand anything ...I agree Bob...many liberals cannot stand anything Christian and it seems for alot of them to give up their liberal thinking is to give up their "self" and they are not willing to do that at any cost and to give up their "do it if it feels good" mentality would mean they would have to be accountable one day to their maker. Some have said they don't really do some of the things they fight for but they want the right to do it if they ever decide to and I have spent many hours with hard core liberals to find out later they are athiest. I know there are some good God loving liberal minded people out there, and I am surely not speaking of them, but in my experience, it seems that the liberals that complain all the time about conservative ideas are some how the liberals that are missing a conscience. Either that or those that are still puffed up over Kerry's loss! LOLLiquidLifeHackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01949269503629475002noreply@blogger.com
