The only Christian thing republicans do is to oppose abortion, but that's only to suck in gullible Christian voters to vote republican (so they vote for tax cuts for corporations and corporate deregulation.)
If republicans based laws off the Bible, I would vote for them every time.
Chad.
We love helping the poor, we want more jobs, not more welfare.
We love healing the sick, we know the private sector can and will do better then government run health like the V.A which is a nightmare.
We love all people, but when you trying and destroy our wealth, liberty, rights, freedoms, culture, or you claim we don't like because we want our institutions to be respected as they are defined, or break into our nation you are going to face tough resistance as you should.
Funny how you call them "immigrants" they are not, they are transgressors and are in this nation illegally.
Funny how you say we hate blacks on welfare yet we want them to do far better and have great paying jobs and being independent not dependent and relaying on others..How is that compassionate?
Funny their is nothing wrong with having a large and ready military.
Funny how you love to quote that quote but you ignore the quotes about not stealing or against redistribution of wealth.
Funny how you use Jesus and the bible when it is aids you cause, yet when we do it we are called "bible thumping extremists"
Funny don't leftist love to call for separation of church and state?
Here is why Jesus is not a leftist.
If you see a man broken down by the side of the road Jesus would want you to him out if he broke into your house that is a different story notice that being compassionate is no one of the ten commandments "thou shall be compassionate" its not in there.
because god knows their will be self righteous people like Nancy Pelosi who will use a wrapped definition of what compassion is to gain power and hurt significantly more people in the process under the guise of compassion
God did not have to include the commandment to be compassionate because following his commandments are the most compassionate things you do for you following human beings in the first place.
I am not sure if you have noticed this but it sure looks like alot of people are wanting to leave from south of the border. Why? why they have a totally statist government like you left winger want they have universal health, high taxes, very strict gun control laws if not a total ban on gun ownership.
but they don't want to be there. You would think you guys would pick up on this..But you don`t.
and by trying to accommodate these illegals you leftist will have to emboldened a more statist government with more stiatist ideals, plans, programs and systems more and more making and reducing our nation into the same hell hole these illegal have tried to flee from, only were are we going to run to? No where there is where.
You can try and move that border north all you want and "reclaim" the land you think still belongs to you. You are just going to have a bigger version of the same oppressive government and failed systems you wanted to get away from..But then again it wont happen because Amnesty will never happen and the Fence is going up..
Stop prostituting the word of God and corrupting Jesus to be a idol of a ideologue based on theft, terror, and tyranny.
The reason why old conservatives like myself do the things we do is because were understand that life was once much easier and present policies are doing nothing to improve life for the next generation.
When I was sixteen, I went to work for a siding contractor making $4.00/hr.
That doesn't seem like much today, but when adjusted for inflation, it's over sixteen dollars per hour.
Where can a teen get a job earning sixteen dollars per hour today?
You're worried about who gets a tax cut when free trade with Mexico and China and illegal immigration drives down your wages and the current near-zero fed funds rate makes what you earn worth less and less every day.
Our sky-high marginal corporate tax rates and built in regulatory costs make doing business in the US a non-starter and those international companies that do business here typically manipulate their operations in such a way that profits are realized in low-tax nations while little or no tax revenue comes to the US.

Things are not always as they appear.
Unfortunately, young people today don't know what things were like in decades past when a dollar had significant buying power, consumption drove the economy and ordinary people lived well.
I have had stories...Being 23 I have been told it was great..

Again, it is not the federal governments job to put you to work. Lots kf jobs need filling, sorry if your liberal arts degree doesn't generate demand for your services. Doctors, engineers, and mathematics majors seem to be doing quite well
Do you actually know what the term Liberal arts degree means, or did you read the word liberal and "see" red ????????
Because he's nothing more than a black square? A square black?
What am I supposed to be seeing there?
Maybe I don't see it because I haven't opened my heart for Jesus to be my Lord and Savior?
ETA: I see you fixed it.

I do love the conservatives talking about the old days, when Democrats had a filibuster proof super majority.
heck, based on your time lines, nothing started to go down hill until Republicans started winning elections. maybe you should take your own advice and give Democrats back the House.

Funny wasn't it you guys and your union thug friends who past the same moronic laws that made it cheaper to outsource then keep profits and industry in America?
ROTFLMAO!
Hilarious coming from the side of the issues that would control everything people do, from with whom and how one can have sex, to smoking pot, determining whether or not a woman should have a baby to the police being able to stop people without cause other than they have brown skin. Sorry Cons, the young for the most part are smart enough to know who allows them more freedoms and which are the side that loves rules governing other peoples behavior.
>>> implying that liberals "allow" more freedoms<<<
What a joke. Interesting use of the word "allow" btw. If someone or something has to "allow" you to do it, then it is not a freedom, it is a privilege.... Not surprising you would use that word considering the left insists on controlling every aspect of life for "the common good"
Don't get me wrong, the Conservative Right are also a danger to liberty, but let's not pretend Liberals are any better.... that's a laugh.
