THE MINISTER SENDS THE SHERIFF


President Obama recently tried to make the case that it was a moral obligation to support his health care ideas.
Pardon me, Mr. President. If you want to pay someone else’s medical bills, be my guest. If you propose to put a box on tax returns to be checked for a voluntary contribution, that’s fine, but that is not what you are proposing.
You want to force all of us to be “our brother’s keeper.” That, Sir, is not Christian!  What Christian principle do you think allows taking from another under threat of force? You tried to use one of the Ten Commandments against your opponents, but seem to have overlooked some others. One of the Ten Commandments is “Thou shalt not steal,” which, by the way, applies to politicians and community organizers. Another is, “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house.”
You want the minister to send the sheriff down the road to tell the neighbors that, if they want to stay out of jail, they have to pay for Brother John’s appendectomy. Christianity does not advocate theft or the use of force. Once you try to force others, you have left Christian County and crossed over into Marx County.
I hope you enjoy your stay there. Most Americans don’t care much for the place.

It is to be expected

that liberals will use absolutely any means to steamroller their agenda onto others.

The outright lying, stealing, cheating, ridicule, blatant racism, tolerance of terrorists and the dictators who spawn them, and now we see even physical brutality seems to accurately characterize the mentality of the Left as they have devolved into some twisted and delusional power-mad entity.

Obama isn’t fooling most Americans anymore, and though he is a fool, he is an insidiously dangerous one.

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. -Psalm 104:32

 

State religion is only a problem when the Republicans are in charge

After all, in their view, God really has charter membership in Democratic Party, so how dare the Republicans try to poach. A god of their own creation, of course… And One who needs to toe the line and keep quiet while they speak in God’s name.

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

Well, not quite.

Actually, they only invoke their god to do their bidding. A sort of at their beck-and-call deity, to be used when their standard arguments fail, because they think the bitter clingers are too stupid to know the difference.

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. – Winston Churchill
