Question:
Do you agree we need Republicans back in power to restore true Christian values to America?
2009-11-03 12:13:18 UTC
George W. Bush was an outsider. He was a reformer with results. He was a uniter, not a divider. He was a compassionate conservative.

The Democrats though turn away from God with abortion and gay marriage.

Bush wanted to protect the sanctity of marriage.

If McCain had been elected we wouldn't embolden the enemy. We wouldn't cut and run.

We still don't know who the real Obama is.

McCain is a maverick. Sarah Palin is a maverick too. McCain knew how to catch Bin Laden but we did not elect him. Palin had experience because Alaska and Russia share a maritime border. Obama pals around with terrorists. Palin was mayor which is kind of like being a community organizer but it involves actual responsibility.

Obama supports death panels that would turn down Sarah Palin's son. Obama will give free health care to illegal aliens. Obama wrote a college thesis that said the founding fathers were silent on economic freedom.

We need Republican leadership to right this ship and get right with God.

Do you agree?

LMAO



Really? Gods, please tell me you're just a troll!



1. Abortion and same sex marriage - Abortion is an issue which involves the Constitutional promise of privacy and the ability to make medical decisions for ourselves. Is it really a good American value to have the government telling you what you can and can't do with your own body? Yeah, that's getting government out of our lives, alright! *sheesh* Same sex marriage? Ever hear of "equality before the law?" Since we grant married couples a number of legal rights and financial benefits we don't grant to cohabitating single people, it's a matter of legal equality that we allow same sex marriages. Again, do you really think it's in the best interest of "American Values" to deny productive citizens equal rights? If so, then you and I have very different understandings of what "American Values" mean.



2. McCain as Maverick - A maverick is an unbranded range animal, considered legally to be property of the first person to brand it. It also can mean a dissenter. McCain had eight years in which to dissent with Bush, but except on the issue of waterboarding, he did little dissenting. McCain should have known how weak and incomplete the plan for the invasion of Iraq was, for example, but was a strong supporter of Bush.



3. Cut and run? As opposed to what? Stay and rot? Iraq was predicated on lies and bad information in the first place. How would staying another 10 years and sacrificing another 10,000 American lives have changed anything? And, by the way, it was Bush and the Iraqi government du jour which came up with the withdrawal timetable.



4. Palin - Forieng relations knowledge, because you can see Russia? Are you serious? I guess then that I'm an astronaut because I can see the moon, right? Mayor - Yeah, that's great. Mayor of a town in which corruption ran rampant, and the governor of a state with a tiny population. Again, her administration if one of corruption and malfeance.



5. Death Panels? Oh, boy....you need to listen to something other than Faux News, amigo! Do you think that private HMO and Insurance Companies don't ration health care, and don't make decisions on when to withhold treatment? Moreover, I suspect a public option for those who cannot afford private health care would be a major step up from the Medicade solution we have now, in which most doctors will refuse to see new Medicare patients. Death panles are nothing more that a lie intended to scare voters. Gotcha!



6 It's Republican "leadership," with its deregulation, it's erosion of civil rights and civil liberties and its determination to convert a free, secular rebulic into a theocracy which is to blame for nearly every major current crisis. You had your shot, for eight long, miserable years. Now, the Dems have a shot.

What Calvin said. To claim "republicans" are somehow going to make everything alright is absurd. 2 basic choices leaves room for alot of difference.



No they won't, no more than "messiah" obama or "messiah" reagan has changed anything really.



Both sides keep claiming they'll reform campaigns... just as soon as they aren't the one in power.



What was that word... ah, "transparency", so far no dice.



"Balanced Budget"? Only in an outrageously surplus-boom year... Maybe. Got to fork over to win votes.



"Patriot Act"? Nah we better keep that. It Was unconstitutional... then...



"End the War" We're in charge Now, you gotta be kidding! When we're good and ready!



"Pay off the National Debt?" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Thats FUNNY!Ride the downward spiral and be happy! Just like post ww2, the entire developed world will be cratered, tired, & in economic shambles, we'll be the only viable free-market producer left and we can repay it in 10 years just like then...



hmmm, wait a second... something's different this time...
2009-11-03 20:33:25 UTC
I do not mean any disrespect here... but...



Republican's are no different than Democrats. I know... you fell for their deceit.



Morals do not come from a party name, but from individuals, and those who back up what they say, not those who say one thing to get into office, then go the same route as the main agenda takes them.



Too many people think republican's or democratic's, right or left. I think some conservative concepts but then I am a bit open-minded. But the extreme right or left is too much for me.



I know many will not agree with me on this, just the way people are.



If you want morals, freedom, etc. then vote for values, not parties. Just because someone says, "Hey, I am religious!" that does not mean you can trust them. They have to prove it by actions.



This is a big scam to keep people divided. While they keep us busy at each other they pass bills and spend our money. I am sure when the day is done they all go out for a beer and have a few laughs at our expense.



Obama as much as said, that him and his colleagues do not like the Constitution. They want to build up unions and the governments around the world while they tax and enslave the masses. The distribution of wealth will be maintained by taking money from anyone below the government, for the government, unions, and big business and it will go into their bank accounts.



Here is another thing... politics, that people who know little about will come to argue that those of us who have done our homework are just bible tooting gun lovers. And those people who say that are as mindless as a butt cheek.



I guess values like freedom are no longer respected in this country.by those on the left?



They want us to believe that we will feel better if we have less, and are more social, by force that is. Charity by force is not charity.



Sorry, I ended one-sided.

2009-11-03 20:26:39 UTC
No, I do not. Bush is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people, put us in an insane amount of debt, and did more work for the good of big businesses than people. Also, the founding fathers were endorsers of "freedom of religion" and "separation of church and state," so to say that enforcing Christianity as law is "conservative" of the basic principal values of this country is laughable. If McCain personally knew how to catch Bin Laden, he would do it anyway, regardless of whether or not he became president. As a prominent politician, he could still be influential. As for Sarah Palin, I'm not even going to touch that one, because it's against my personal morals to make fun of retards. We do not need more people running the country who endorse the rights of big business but seek to control the personal lives of people based on the moral code of one religion. Period.
2009-11-03 20:26:03 UTC
Oh, yea because they did such a good job over the last 8 years.



Clinton left office with a zero deficit. ZERO!







"We at the Christian Coalition are raising an army who cares. We are training people to be effective -- to be elected to school boards, to city councils, to state legislatures, and to key positions in political parties.... By the end of this decade, if we work and give and organize and train, THE CHRISTIAN COALITION WILL BE THE MOST POWERFUL POLITICAL ORGANIZATION IN AMERICA"

Nice cutting and pasting of talking points. But Obama never wrote a college thesis. Columbia didn't require one for his program, and Harvard Law doesn't have them. The one Limbaugh read was a satire, which Limbaugh found out later. Leading Rush to say, “So we stand by the fabricated quote because we know Obama thinks it anyway.” Now THAT'S partisanship.

Um... This country wasn't founded on "Christian Values" so there is nothing to restore...



"Christian Values" means repression of freedoms...

No, I do not believe the Republicans will bring back true Christian values either. I think their values are better than that of the Democrats....but in practice they are just as corrupt.



I vote Republican, but McCain was no prize. Until we get real and honorable leaders the party will be in real trouble.



I am certainly no fan of Obama....and even less so Pelosi and the rest of those leftist loons. But they are there because Republicans keep blowing it, and offer poor alternatives.

No thanks. Their regime f***ed up the country enough and its going to take a long time to clean up that mess. We don't need any more tax cuts for the wealthy that penalize the poor working class, laws that destroy our air, soil and water so some corporation's CEO can get more obscenely wealthy, or anymore "crusades" because some idiot thought god wanted him to invade another nation for no discernible reason.



You sound like you'd love to see the film, A Handmaid's Tale. It is about a world ruled by your Christian values.
2009-11-03 20:17:17 UTC
So does "sanctity of marriage" = tax breaks for straight people?



Also, if McCain knows how to catch Bin Laden, he should be a good sport and share it with the rest of us, even if we didn't elect him president.

People need to get right with God, Christians need to get right with God, we don't need a politician to teach us that. We need to look at our own hearts, not impose Christian culture on others. The plank-eye process described in the bible teaches us that. The Sermon on the Mount makes it clear that we are not to judge others but to change our heart ethic. Our personal decisions to call Jesus our Lord will influence our decision to live by His teachings and love our enemies as he taught. To my Christian brothers and sisters, we need to love each other and show our unity and live as examples of a giving and loving community to show non-Christians why we choose to love Jesus, not worry about the politics of others who don't call him Lord.

no not necessiarly.



gay marriage has nothing to do with religion.



Jesus says nothing about same-sex behavior.



The Jewish prophets are silent about homosexuality.



Only six or seven of the Bible's one million verses refer to same-sex behavior in any way; none of these verses refer to homosexuality as it's understood today



The bible is a book about GOD, not on sexuality.



DEUTERONOMY 22:13-21

If it is discovered that a bride is not a virgin, the Bible demands that she be executed by stoning immediately.



DEUTERONOMY 22:22

If a married person has sex with someone else's husband or wife, the Bible commands that both adulterers be stoned to death.



MARK 10:1-12

Divorce is strictly forbidden in both Testaments, as is remarriage of anyone who has been divorced.



LEVITICUS 18:19

The Bible forbids a married couple from having sexual intercourse during a woman's period. If they disobey, both shall be executed.



MARK 12:18-27

If a man dies childless, his widow is ordered by biblical law to have intercourse with each of his brothers in turn until she bears her deceased husband a male heir.



DEUTERONOMY 25:11-12

If a man gets into a fight with another man and his wife seeks to rescue her husband by grabbing the enemy's genitals, her hand shall be cut off and no pity shall be shown her.



The list goes on: The Bible says that sex with a prostitute is acceptable for the husband but not for the wife. Polygamy's acceptable, as is a king's having many concubines. (Solomon, the wisest king of all, had 1,000 concubines.) Slavery and sex with slaves, marriage of girls aged 11-13, and treatment of women as property are all accepted practices in the Scriptures. There are strict prohibitions against interracial marriage, birth control, discussing or even naming a sexual organ, and seeing one's parents nude.



The Bible has been misused to defend bloody crusades and tragic inquisitions; to support slavery, apartheid, and segregation; to persecute Jews and other non-Christian people of faith; to support Hitler's Third Reich and the Holocaust; to oppose medical science; to condemn interracial marriage; to execute women as witches; and to support the Ku Klux Klan. Shakespeare said it this way: "Even the devil can cite Scripture for his purpose."



Leviticus 18:6 reads: "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female. It is an abomination." Leviticus 20:13: "A man who sleeps with another man is an abomination and should be executed."



Just below the surface of these words is the deeper truth about God -- and it has nothing to do with sex. Leviticus is a holiness code (list of behaviors that people of faith find offensive in a certain place and time. In this case, the code was written for priests only, and its primary intent was to set the priests of Israel over and against priests of other cultures) written 3,000 years ago. This code also includes prohibitions against round haircuts, tattoos, working on the Sabbath, wearing garments of mixed fabrics, eating pork or shellfish, getting your fortune told, and even playing with the skin of a pig. (There goes football!!!)



Jesus and Paul both said the holiness code in Leviticus does not pertain to Christian believers. Nevertheless, there are still people who pull the two verses about men sleeping together from this ancient holiness code to say that the Bible SEEMES to condemn homosexuality.

Like if someone wants an abortion that's fine with him. He doesn't go against it. Obama lied to us and said he would STOP abortion. I mean like Obama but I feel like we could've done better. I think some voted for Obama because of his skin color. Politicians lie a lot because they want to be in charge and they need votes so they lie.

There is a problem. Christian morality today is not even BIBLE morality!!!



CANNIBALISM IS THE THEME OF THE BIBLE!



Walt Disney came up with an adorable Mickey Mouse, the Bible writers came up with the idea of a repulsive God forcing the Jews to eat their own children for dinner NOT AS A PUNISHMENT, but as an option in times of famine. Not even as an option, but as the “WILL OF GOD!” God NEVER objected slaughtering and cooking children for dinner! God won’t let the Jews eat pigs, but children YES!



Any religion back then was as primitive as you can’t possibly imagine. The Bible is a hangover from those days.



Like any primitive God the Judeo/Christian/Islamic God/Jehovah/Yahweh/Allah is totally powerless to teach the Jews a lesson without FORCING them to eat their own children for dinner. Palestine was a “Land Flowing with Milk and Honey” ONLY before the “Exodus!” After landing in Palestine, suddenly the “milk and honey” stopped flowing! So the Bible writers are promising the Jews that “God will make the desert to blossom like a rose!” The perennial carrot hanging from a string at the end of the stick is still working even today earning millions for the Clergy & Preachers especially since the “going to Heaven when you die” idea was put together! Jesus said that “the MEEK shall inherit the Earth,” but the PROUD Christians won’t settle for anything less than “Heaven!” The Earth is for the Jews, they say!



The Bible God’s sadistic pleasures are typical of the primitive Heathen Deities! None of the “Godless” dictators in history ever thought of forcing their people to eat their own children for dinner! That idea is so repulsive that no smut publication is putting out anything like that either, but any pervert Bible preacher can discreetly enjoy fantasizing all about it in their closet! For many centuries, the Clergy hid the Bible from public view! To their great relief hardly any Christian TODAY reads the Bible! The Bible may be the best seller book of all time, but except for a few poached verses it is the least read book in the world!



Leviticus 26:29 - (without warning of any evil, God is anxiously saying…) YOU WILL eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters…



The roasted flesh of an 8 year old boy or girl, flavored with a spicy BBQ sauce ought to taste delicious to any God fearing pedophile! The Bible says to have been written ONLY for believing idiots because for non Christians “IT IS FOOLISHNESS!” 1 Cor 2:14* (*CHEAP SMUTTY CRAP!!!)



Deuteronomy 28:53-57 - Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you during the siege* (*God is conditioning the mind of the Israelites 700 Bible years into the future!), YOU WILL EAT THE FRUIT OF THE WOMB, THE FLESH OF THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS the LORD your God has given you* (*this is known as the irresistible WILL of God, God WILL NOT do anything to protect the innocent children, BUT HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE WILL ENJOY EATING THEM…!) Even the most gentle and sensitive man* (*not a gay or a Godless atheist, but a SWEET CHILD OF GOD!) among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the WIFE HE LOVES or his SURVIVING CHILDREN, and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating…* (*Not sharing is “THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN”!)



Jeremiah 19:9 I* (*God, NOT SATAN, but GOD!) WILL MAKE THEM EAT THE FLESH OF THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS* (Christians claim that nobody can resist God's WILL. They know that “ALL of God’s promises are YES and AMEN!” so this repulsive Bible GOD IS MAKING the Jews eat their own children for dinner, no matter what!



The Bible writers will never suggest that the Jews eat PIGS, but their own sweet children YES! Along this same idea the Early Church Fathers also say that when the “666” trademark will be set up Christians WON’T BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL FOOD or anything else without it. Based on the Bible precedents, will the Christians eat their own children for dinner? The preachers explain away these cannibalistic stories in the Bible saying that God had to do it because the Jews were a very “sinful” people all along!



Ezekiel 5:10 - Therefore in your midst fathers WILL EAT THEIR CHILDREN... (this statement appears ALL OVER THE BIBLE! It means what it says!)



Any kind of secular government would certainly allow their people to eat pork instead of their own children! It took Moses 2 men to carry a single cluster of gigantic size grapes to show Israel how plentiful was the Land of Palestine that they were about to invade (Num 13:23)! It was a trick in the Bible script to motivate well fed Jews into COVETING something that wasn’t theirs. They never found the giant grapes in Palestine, but as the Jews conquered the Promised Land Flowing with Milk and Honey, they had to eat their own children to survive!



Lamentations 4:10 - With their own hands COMPASSIONATE WOMEN* (*”God loving” women! Not lesbians or atheistic ladies, but “Christ like” compassionate women!) HAVE COOKED THEIR OWN CHILDREN...!* (*If you can possibly ignore this gross smut in the Bible you FULLY qualify to be a Christian! Heb 11:6 – I was a born again Fundamentalist Bible minister before I dropped out of Christianity and religion! I am so happy they I took my time to learn all about this Bible God worshipped by Christians mostly in America!)



CANNIBALISM in the Bible is in FULL EXPLICIT CONTEXT that is IMPOSSIBLE for any HONEST Preacher to “spiritualize” and make it disappear! Unfortunately, EVERYBODY in the NEWS MEDIA knows that it is suicidal to expose Christianity or any religion!



2 Kings 6:26-29 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king* (*a God loving king)!” The king replied, “If the Lord does not help you, where can I get help for you? Then he asked her, “What's the matter?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son.’ So we cooked my son and ate him* (*BTW… it came out delicious!). The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him, but she had hidden him!* (*God damned woman! She cheated!)



They were all COMPASSIONATE Godly, non-atheistic, heterosexual women that HAVE SLAUGHTERED AND COOKED THEIR OWN CHILDREN FOR DINNER at the tune of “The LORD is my Shepherd I shall not want” (Psalm 23 or 24, if Catholic)!



Isaiah 49:15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I* (*God) WILL NOT FORGET YOU!* (*It looks like God is getting senile, or is having a serious psychopathic disorder in desperate need of a shrink! Or is it that the Bible writers were full of smut that Christians love to deep throat like a charm)



The last bunch of Bible writers claim that God the Son Jesus Christ was beaten to a pulp thoroughly tenderized and heavily marinated in Roman soldiers’ spit to become the “Spotless Lamb of God” nailed TOTALLY NAKED to a Holy Cross in a primitive Heathen ritual to cleanse the “sin” of the World. BTW, there is no record that the Roman soldiers ever dressed the genital area of their victims with a white diaper! The Christians now snack Jesus’ delicious SPIT FLAVORED MEAT AND DRINK HIS SWEATY BLOOD to go to Heaven when they die (John 6:53)! Since cannibalism is all over the Bible the forever snacking Jesus Christ in the Holy Communion is OK!



The Bible writers say that God’s enemies ought to be killed in their infancy when it is easier to get rid of them!



Psalm 137:8-9 * O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, HAPPY is he who repays you for what you have done to us* (*Holy Vendetta!) --he who seizes your infants and DASHES them against the rocks* (*after the kids are dashed against the rocks they can be cooked for dinner, or trashed in the dumpster! The Bible writers are obviously having a kick out of it! Christians insist that a “Holy Spirit” inspired all this crap in the Bible!)



Needed abortions today are for HUMANE reasons! Only the fetus is destroyed not a born child! God wants the grown children to be dashed to pieces and cooked for dinner -NOT THE FETUSES, but the children!



Isaiah 13:16 (KJV) Their little ones also WILL BE DASHED TO PIECES before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered AND THEIR WIVES RAVISHED* (*in the erotic mind of the Bible writers the sex starved ladies will be ravished to their orgasmic delight, while their children are being DASHED TO PIECES at the tune of “THY WILL BE DONE, OH GOD! Amen!”)



In Christianity, this repulsive God is evolving into Sweet Jesus, but he is not any better…!



Revelation 2:23 (In his apocalyptic “revelation” Jesus Christ says) I WILL STRIKE HER CHILDREN DEAD* (*No abortionist can beat this repulsive Bible Jesus at killing babies -not destroying fetuses, but killing real children! Some pervert Christians get real turned on in their “closet” about Jesus promising to kill the children in the wrong Churches! Some wise guy preachers are getting rich selling books on Jesus’ love for the little children of the world without telling anybody about Jesus Christ killing any child in favor of a particular Church brand!). Then ALL THE CHURCHES WILL KNOW* (*after killing children) that I am he who searches hearts and minds and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.* (*never a Mafia BOSS would talk like that in public! For the Christian, to be “CHRIST LIKE” must include killing children in the wrong Churches, spiritually speaking, of course!)



Grown up Christians are very fond of their preachers and love “JESUS” so much that they don’t care about any cannibalism in the Bible! Ask Fireball!
