I love each and every liberal to the extent that I loved Hitler, for both are representatives of God’s children. Despite my love for the individual, it is my Christian duty to expunge heathen political ideologies from the American landscape. I take great pride in my work, as I am but one dedicated mortal member among the billions that make up God’s laity.

The easiest way to love a liberal would be to first have the liberal love him or herself, then for them to love and honor our country.

When put into national context, the basic liberal shows signs of anger and rage. Nothing satisfies the political liberal, and that fact becomes more and more evident as seen and heard by the liberal representation on our nightly TV broadcasts.

Devoid of any constructive foreign affair policy (other than cut-and-run), liberals resort to shouting/screaming invective at conservatives--thus the continuation of this unloving rage and anger qualities that have unfortunately plagued the liberal mindset from as far back as the mid-1960’s.

Remember how mad liberals were in the 1960’s? Bloody city riots and unrest protesting the Vietnam war. Campus rebellions featuring ‘rage’ over anything considered an ‘establishment’. Spitting on and calling returning Vietnam soldiers…’baby killers’. Members of SDS (Students for Democratic Society) had taken up the killing of police. Black Panthers brought felon crime to new highs. The liberal running for president George McGovern helped to inflame student and liberal unrest.

The liberal rage of the sixties has blossomed into the 21st century. Baby boomers Howard Dean and Algore cannot finish a predictable rant without resorting to screeching vituperative insults and basic ad hominem.

You may have voted in that poll where I asked, ‘who is angrier--the liberal or conservative? Can there be any doubt as to the correct answer to that question…now that you’ve had time to ponder reason?

I want to thank General Baker for being the first liberal to list his honorable attributes to the forum. Thanks also to the other liberals that followed the General in true lockstep mode. While I have no doubt that most of you honor your family, I have serious reservations as to your honesty in honoring America.

Some say you honor our country by loving your children; but evidently that is a selfish motive, seeing how you do not love or recognize all of God’s children since you are hell bent on supporting abortion.

Some say you honor our country by saluting our flag, singing the national Anthem, and walking in parades--yet at the same time you condone the burning of the flag, condone the disrespectful singing of the Anthem by Rosanne Barr and the Dixie Chicks, and condone the rights of those walking in parades holding up signs that say, “Kill Bush” and “Shoot Cheney”.

If the liberal truly honors and loves himself and country, then he would have to work to rid himself and the national viewing public of this liberal symbolism and inherent ideology that is ruining our country, and keeping so many people submerged in rage and anger.

So my suggestion to those liberals that have sunk so far into the unpleasant abyss of despair, as how to feel love for yourself and country…I offer this:

Get an 8” X 10” glossy picture of a smiling George Bush to put on your night table to look at for inspiration. Bush is a happily married Christian man. He made a pledge to protect the American people from further terrorist attacks on our soil. He has kept his promise. You have never seen Bush attack or use foul language when confronting his political opponents. These are but a few of the reasons why Bush would make the perfect role model for the angry and lost soul liberals among us.

So your gripes with liberalism are:
  • Anti-War
  • Abortion
  • Flag Burning

You're never going to gain much ground on the first two issues. Both camps wont budge on either issue.

You're against flag burning? So you would protect the flag itself instead of the freedom it stands for?

A picture and blind admiration for Bush isnt the answer. At least we agree on our hatred for communism. But I hate it for actual reasons, I think you are something of a McCarthyist.

Here is my beef with liberalism:
  • It is inherantly altruistic
  • It has socialist tendancies
  • Increased government spending
  • Affirmative Action
  • Exploitation of "Racism" card, and the minority vote
  • The wrong environmentalists, like Greenpeace

You posted a poll and when people honestly responded, you denigrate them? What's up with that?

You asked how we honor America. You didn't ask how we felt about those other things.

Don't they have those rights? Just because they say them doesn't mean I agree. And if I don't try to censure them, it just means I would rather see the really cool things that are going on in the parade. The cheerleaders, the firefighters, the reps from the armed forces, what the parade represents, the cheerleaders. :3oops: :mrgreen:

I'm not angry, just disappointed in you and the rep/cons that share your belief system. You won't accept people for what they are, you want them to change, regardless of their beliefs, into a rep/con drone. I guess I also pity you.

You might want to check on that.

Why did you post the poll in the first place? For disingenuous reasons? I can only believe that folks responded in honesty, but from this post, you purposely set out to be dishonest. I'm sorry for you that you have such a lack of trust in your fellow Americans.

***Interesting that I state my love for all humans, yet 'YOU' see it as a trolling post.
 
I heard Bush say "major league asshole." Does that count?

What really scares me is there actually people like the kid living here in the land of the free.

I think it would be nice if one year we all came to visit you in the nursing home. I don't see how someone like you can be capable of caring for yourself in the near future as you are so far removed from reality.

conseratives should learn to love one others. their hatred toward liberals is so vitriolic. you lionize ann coulter, who is full of hatred toward liberals, a she certainly doesnt hide her hatred...
pro choice doctors are murdered for their helping of women who are pro chice..is this a reason for murder...and ann coulter advicated murderds of liberals,,,she is hell bent on her opinion that liberals a Godless...how dare she..she certainly doesnt know me, but would probably advocate my death,, even though i have a great and unshakable faith in God..i pray for her, i believe she is either sick, or wants attention.
why is her advocation of disagreement with liberal thought any different than a si mple statement that conservatives are extremely dogmatic, and wont see or concider the fact that there are people who think differently than she..

****You got it all wrong, Jenny. It is not the conservatives hating liberals, rather, it liberals hating conservatives. What you see and read of Ann Coulter, is nothing more than her factual representation of liberal political policies. And she does this with a mild tone, as compared to the shrieking liberal talking heads that we see on our nightly TV broadcasts. Ann and I would love to have you liberals do a 180 degree turn around with your religion (if any), and with your current hate for America, for our troops, and of your treasonous ways in aiding and abetting our enemies. You certainly do have your work cut out for yourself.

Ann doesn't have to know you personally to say that liberalsim is 'Godless'. Answer the question, Jenny. Would you consider someone supporting abortion (or life itself) to be a loving Christian, or someone closer to being labeled 'Godless'? There is no gray area here, either you love the baby Jesus, or you're 'Godless'--destined to test the temperature in hell.

I do no think that Ann needs your prayers. She would probably pray for you in hoping that you would consider being 'Born Again', because liberalsim is a 'Godless' dogma. Read her book. There isn't anything in there that isn't the truth.
 
there is no way i would be born again OR believe in jesus......and what you are telling me is i either believe in jesus or i am godless....nothing like being a predjudice prick kid......and how can ann be a loving chriatian and speak the way she does about others, i was always under the impression that christians love everyone.......i dont remember anywhere in the bible where christ says one is godless if he does not believe in him....and yes actually there are christians who believe in choice,,,they may not choose abortion for themselves but yes there are many who belive in the freedom of choice....you must have your head up a ostrich hole somewhere,,,are you living in the real world?

***Its obvious that you've already made your bed in hell. Christians do love everyone, and that includes you. What we don't love is the unloving nature coming from people like yourself. Show me where Ann or myself have gone to the vituperative lengths that you just did. You really need to open up a Bible so as to get with the moralistic and humanistic program. Christians that believe in the choice to abort are called CINO or Christians in name only. Because I like the color white of the sheets that the Klan wear; does my preference or 'choice' of color here make me a racist?

The religious do not have a monopoly on morality. Your makebelieve god isnt better than anyone elses.

And people who only pay lip service to the teaching of Jesus, but do not practice them are CINO's (i.e. YOU)

I am not a Christian, yet I live by Christ's teachings. I believe yours is a false sense of morality...

Not a pagan, and I dont have a sectarian god.

If you follow his teachings to a T, wouldnt you be a altruistic socialist pacifist?
 
ptsdkid said:

Woah no need to bust out the P word. Who says someone cannot practice the teachings of Christ without being a full Christain? Lets look at Gandhi. He most certainly follows a great deal of Christ's doctrines in regards to his social activism. Remember its not your place to ultimately place judgement on another, under the doctrine of the Church (which I happen to follow) it is God who is given that ultimate judgement.
In fact we ourselves should be weary of passing moral judgement. Look at times in the past where we indeed went about passing moral judgement on others. Take the Spanish colonization of South America. They were trying to spread teachings of Christ but they ended up imprisioning people.
The simple fact is, our own insight is severly limited and for us to take the place of judgement, one of God ultimately is to say that we indeed have that same insight when the Bible says that simply isn't true.

Even if we want to get judgemental. Jesus didn't exactly hang out with the conservatives in society. He didn't exactly hang out with the establishment. He hung out with the sinners. He actively opposed the establishment. Now did he hate the establishment? Of course not, he loved them but opposed the way they went about things because it was hypocritical or hurting the people.

The same can be said of the liberals you speak of. Yes they don't love the system. But does that they don't love the country that is America ? Nonesense. Liberals love America just as much as conservatives. They challenge the establishment because they believe there are better ways to go about doing things that help more people (obviously theres exceptions and sure not all of their suggestions work). Loving America doesn't imply loving God. Theres a lot of actions we as a nation have undertaken that God wouldn't quite fancy.
So lets not get on our high horses and condemn liberals because they rebel against the system, something Jesus did. Sure liberals aren't God and in no way am I saying that. Ohh and theres a group called Sojouners who are extremely religious and extremely progressive.
I'd also like to challenge the morality of certain conservative ideology behind the death penalty? Where lies Christ compassion in that? We shouldn't be saying Christ is with us we should ask ourselves are we with Christ?
But of course, this is all subjective and only God can be the true judge.

Actually, in the bible, Christ is quoted as saying " I am the way, the truth and the light. No man comes to the Father but by me."

Now you may not believe it, but according to the Bible it is a teaching of Christ.

KID, how can you wear a white sheet burn a cross, and say you r not racist

***I don't need to wear a white sheet; my skin is plenty white as it is. The burning of the cross symbolizes faith; faith in the return of Christ, and faith in new beginnings. We Christians also wear crosses that symbolize our faith in Jesus--the inspiration to and for all of mankind. I also own and wear celtic crosses that symbolize my Celtic heritage. I still find it difficult to see how one honoring their God and race is to be considered racist.

Let me quote a passage here from the book 'Christ was not a Jew':

First: Christ showed His detachment from Judaism by His direct appeal to God as the Father in Heaven. He did not on His own account appeal to the Jewish racial deity, no more than He did to Zeus or Jupiter.
Second: The contrast between the message of Christ and the cult of Judaism was, so far as He was concerned, diametrical. But for those brought up in Judaism His attitude was one of kindly and helpful tolerance.
Third: Christ was not an enemy of Judaism or any other religion, except as light is the enemy of darkness. He merely contented Himself with showing "a more excellent way."
Fourth: Christ followed the customs of Judaism--the observance of the passover, for instance, for it was national as well as religious. He taught in the synagogues also, for these were the "town halls" of the nation.
Fifth: Christ was in the midst of Judaistic surroundings, even among His kindred and closest friends. He was never understood--not even at the Last Supper.
Sixth: Christ in His parting instructions did not tell His disciples to abandon Judaism. He told them to preach the gospel to all mankind, which amounted to the same thing, for it was an act of self-exclusion. This made it a Gentile religion per se, namely, a non-ethnical, non-exclusive religion, humanitarian in its scope, and therefore non-Jewish.


Neither of the Four Gospels was written till after Peter, Paul, and probably all of the earlier apostles and leaders had suffered martyrdom, and those who compiled the New testament canon were not as detached from Judaism as were those apostles.
This new religion was "broader than the measure of man's mind." The Greek race with all its romantic galaxy of the gods had never produced a universal religion. Their Olympic games were a period of "lustration," a religious revial so to speak, and the civilized world at that time made use of the occasion as if it were a world's fair--as indeed it was--but the religion was greek and the foreigners there assembled came with their own religious cults. The Jews likewise could never have originated a world religion, for theirs was a selfish and revengeful Jahveh, devoid of a sense of fair play as between man and man universally. How idle it is to think that Christianity, a world religion, could have sprung from the "Chosen people" bigotry!

**One thing you may want to seriously ponder from the aforementioned. Jesus told those around him (including the Jews) to preach the gospel to all of mankind--in being an act of self-exclusion. This made it a Gentile religion per se--humanitarian in scope, therefore non-Jewish. Show me where or how the Jewish religion takes in a worldwide or humanitarian scope comparable to that of Christianity. While there are many factions comprising the worldwide makeup and spreading of Christianity, the Jewish religion is limited in it's membership, and certainly limited or non existent in the spreading of it's message worldwide for humanitarian purposes--thus, for these selfish reasons it is a cult, and a huge reason why races' of people all over the world seem to target the Jews as dangerous undesirables.

The burning of the cross symbolizes a pledge to a God who isn't white.
Jesus was a Jew. Need we forget. "The King of the Jews." But if you want to go on with the anti-semitic rhetoric, then go right ahead.
I still don't see why you want to judge when the scripture specifically says that only God can pass judgement.
You're right Judaism is the exactly that, completely selfish. Except that it was the first religion (at least known) to present the concept of a God for all people, not for limited groups like in Egyptian belief (not that is meant as a strike at that belief). To say Judaism is not universal is to say the basis of Christianity is not universal. The Bible isn't only the 2nd testament. Its the the Torah as well.
