Equating Christian and Republican- Rantings from the Christian Right

I don’t know why I even pay attention to such nonsense from the Christian right.  Here this guy claims that a vote for Clinton or Gore was something a Christain could not do.  Like Nixon, Reagan, or Bush are examples of morality.  Like people even knew that Clinton had a sex problem the first go round.  Like lusting after war is not despicable in the eyes of what I would call a “Chrsitian morality”.  Of course,  that never occurs to the likes of the majority of the Christian Right.  They support Republican politics becuase their leadership has fallen for the campaigns of those who would make promises and talk piously.   The same Christain Right that gives a low “Scrorecard” score to Tony Hall of Ohio,  who is outspokenly Christian and actually works within his Representative position to combat World Hunger. 


That’s about enough of that.  I’ll probably return to it again when someone says something as brainless as this again:



Most Americans call themselves Christians. Twice they chose a.s their supreme leader Bill Clinton , a sexual predator and pathological liar who regarded the “religious right” as enemies and radical homosexuals as friends, and who by any meaningful and historical measure was a traitor. After that, millions of Christians came within a hair’s breadth of electing Clinton’s partner in crime, Al Gore, another pathological liar, a radical environmentalist who reveres “Gaia” but believes the internal-combustion engine should be outlawed (according to his book, “Earth in the Balance”).


You know what, guy?    I have a lot in common with Clinton on the matter of “regarding the religious right” as enemy.  It’s not their theology neccessarily,  but their marrying of their advocacy to one platform.  I am against abortion but also for environment and against war the vast majority of the time.  It is a means used to resolve conflict way too quickly.  As an opposer of much of the “Christian Right” platform and concerns (not all — just most of the ones we hear them talking about) —  I consider myself “pro-life”;   which means CONSISTENTLY pro-life.  Abortion is almost always wrong.  But WAR is almost always wrong.  Both kill innocent children.


I find it very hard to listen to the likes of these people and hear them back “pre-emptive strike” and blame Islam for the likes of the BinLaden group.  It makes as much sense as blaming Christians for the Klu Klux Klan.  Actually,  as much sense as blaming the Christian Right for the KKK,  for these people used the langugae of the Christian Right to justify their stance.    So before you go accusing Democratic supporters of being non-Christian,  consider that it might have something to do with voting for things which try to lift people up and aid the needy (because nearly every person I know who works in social work type posistions are overwhelmingly Democratic).   If it depended on the so-called morality of the Presidential candidate,  we’d have elected an Independent long ago.
