Now, whom should I believe... Jord, or some lying bimbo on Hate Radio?
I'm no theologian, but I don't see how you reconcile the alleged teachings of Jesus with the modern Republican Party.
9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
1 Timothy 6:3-4 (New International Version)
3If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions
Hebrews 13:5-6 (New International Version)
5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."[a] 6So we say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?"[b]
She doesn't see any "fruits"? What is she, blind? How about holding Wall Street accountable for their actions against the people of this country? How about health care for ALL of God's children--not just the rich, white ones? How about making college loans available without going through the usurous banks? And there are more....
We will ALL be accountable for our votes! Look what happened in 2000 and 2004!!!! You think this country wasn't held accountable for the debacle of the Bush administration? What the hell do think that 8 years of chaos and poison and murder and war was all about?
"Rose, Rose, Rose"...talking out of your a$$ doesn't count as reasoned logic. Your comments still smell like they come out of your a$$!
Logic is their enemy.
Geez....when did they?
Earth to Rose Tennent:
Christianity is not a requirement for voting.
But Rose is right about the accountability. For example, all of us are being held accountable now for those who voted for Bush in the prior two elections. Some Iraqis, too.
While I don't expect logical argument from the FRA, they continue to impress when illogic is their argument.
Does anyone -- seriously, anyone at all -- give a rat's patootie what Rose Tennent believes.
She's an ugly, old, no-talent, ignorant cow.
Give me anyone BUT a "white Christian conservative"!
If so, you can be Christian and vote for him, too.
* Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.
o Said in November 1994, as quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006)
* When you say "radical right" today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party away from the Republican Party, and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye.
* The big thing is to make this country, along with every other country in the world with a few exceptions, quit discriminating against people just because they're gay. You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. And that's what brings me into it.
* Having spent 37 years of my life in the military as a reservist, and never having met a gay in all of that time, and never having even talked about it in all those years, I just thought, why the hell shouldn't they serve? They're American citizens. As long as they're not doing things that are harmful to anyone else... So I came out for it.
I just picked up "Broken Government: How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches" - from what I've read so far, it looks like this will be the start of a collection.
Back to topic - if I vote for Obama, will Cthulhu still loath me?
I'll gladly spend eternity in the fiery, as long as I'm nowhere near this woman?
