Make that both of us ROTFLMAO.

Kevin,
"We the people", haven't had a say in the running of this nation in years. "Our leaders" tell us one thing and do the exact opposite once the election is over. The CFR does as it damn well pleases and to hell with the rest of us. |
|
Kevin reads FAR more into Jesus's statement to "render unto Caesar" than any interpretation of that I have ever heard. When I study that passage in ANY of the 3 Gospels that mention it, I am overwhelmingly convinced that here Jesus means simply that God is not concerned with human politics.
There is no law in this country that states we HAVE to vote - McCullough's argument appears to me nothing more than a weak attempt to guilt Christians into voting - I can't be the only one to see Obama CLOBBERING the vastly unpopular RINO McCain. |

Kevin, I totally agree that we have to vote as Christians. My pastor says that it is a sin NOT to vote. I will be voting for John McCain, although I will hold my nose while doing it. It is pretty simple to me. He is pro life and pro military even though he has done alot I don't agree with. He is far better than either Hillary or Obama. |
|
We the People, are "the leaders." In our process - we lend a person our permission to administrate the country.
If you do NOT understand that this is the process - then your jaded viewpoint and helpless giving up of even being involved is easier to understand.
It makes you a horrible American - but at least it helps us understand... |
|
....cannot and will not vote for any candidate who supports the war in Iraq.
Nothing is more un-Christian than slaughtering tens of thousands of innocents who had absolutely nothing to do with the bastards who attacked us on 9/11.
If you want to go after Al-Q, great. But there was NO Al-Q in Iraq before Bush and company invaded Iraq.
(Sorry to bother you people with the facts.) |

You have a typo in your post. You meant to write "honorable American." That's okay, I appreciate the compliment.
On the other hand who said anything about giving up? I voted in the primaries for Dr. Paul and I will vote in the general for someone other than McCain. "Contain McCain", as some wag wrote. I simply pointed out some facts you wish to ignore. If we are going to talk about "horrible", let us do so starting with those who wish to kill thousands, if not millions of Iranians bssed of some weird interpertaion of the Bible ("the rapture") over a nonexistant threat.
See if you can understand what Dr. Baldwin writes below. You might learn something from this fine Christian minister seeing how you don't wish to learn from me.

I didn't realize we were carpet bombing places like Iraq. Did you men Al-Queda killing thousands of their fellow Muslims? I thought so. |
|
|
You don't think it is was a Christian thing we did in freeing thousands of Iraqis from the cruel dictatorship of Sadaam Hussein and giving them the freedom to live their lives? |

I am a Chrsitian and I can make decisions on my own,whether it be crossing the street, what clothes to wear, when I should take a bath ect and whether to vote or not is my decision just as "free will" is a Christian concept. We are supposed to abide by the "Law of the Land" and there is no law in "THIS LAND" that I know of which says I have to vote. Got that McCullough? |

..with the "render unto Caesar" quote, I suggest reading Romans 13:1-7 for a different aspect. KMC does reference "Bible believing Christians" above, but as voting is someting I consider a civic duty, I wonder why this election should be different from any other.... |

depending on their choices. If all choices are in direct conflict with their faith, then they should not vote, at least for one of the major choices.
I for one cannot support Hillary/Obama because of their Anti-Life position and McCains support for Embryo Stem Cell Research support. He supports life when it is in the womb but will kill life when it is in a Lab, will not vote for that. I know when life begins, seems Senator McCain is still working on defining "IS" in this case.
I will vote in November just not Rep./Dem.
Voting for Huckabee in Maech 4 TX Primary then
Writing A Name In in November
Senator McCain, please stop calling my home asking for money and our vote for you will NEVER get either!!! |

I am working a Republican precinct voting location and will attend the precinct meeting one hour after the polls close--so I will vote March 4th. |
|
|
|
just not for any of the 2 party candidates. i am looking for a conservative not someone who pretends at being conservative to get my vote. Hence, Huck the Schmuck and McCain did not get my vote in the primary. Nor will McCain get mine in November, unless he can select a viable conservative as his VP. If not, I will be writing in the name of a true conservative.
i believe that there are many scriptures that reference our responsibility as citizens. not just the render to ceasar. but, that does not mean i have to vote for a dem or a repub. |

of the original column. Check it out there or at my blog, click on the underlined name.
Working on the blog now.
KMC, you are wrong, Jamie's Pastor is wrong,
and Jamie is wrong.
Elieen is wrong on Iraq and Ryan on Iran.
Elieen is arguing that it was wrong to free millions of Iraqi women from rape rooms, and Ryan is arguing that an IRANIAN who believes whole heartedly in an ISLAMIC version of "The Day of the Lord" and is trying as hard as he can to get a Nuke to HELP it along is "no threat."
Neither argument is credible to anyone but a biggoted America hater or a Phlatulent Earth Isolationist Conspiracy Buff.
I take on KMC (and Jamie and his Pastor) diretly on the other thread, and will in my blog as soon as it is finished.
For the other two, with a nod to ML King: to refuse to Combat Evil is to enable evil, justice delayed is justice denied. A threat to liberty anywhere is a threat to it everywhere--and to mine and my sons. Rebut that if you can.

"Ryan is arguing that an IRANIAN who believes whole heartedly in an ISLAMIC version of "The Day of the Lord" and is trying as hard as he can to get a Nuke to HELP it along is "no threat."
Assuming that Ahmadinejad "is trying as hard as he can to get a Nuke" due to his belief in the Mahdi, (he's not) what makes him any different from John Hagee and his dispensationalism rantings?
