No such thing as a ‘Christian Democrat’

Original Article

I spent well over 30 years of my career in higher education, and for most of that time, I enjoyed a good debate with my peers. As a conservative, I was often in the minority, but that didn’t impede mutual respect, nor did it hinder friendships. Political differences were stark, but nearly all of them boiled down to disputes over means and not ends. All of us, for example, agreed that child care was a good thing.

There are plenty of Democrat Roman Catholics. Now to say they may not be Christian is something else.

#2, the way I have always described it: Christianity and liberalism are mutually exclusive. We have a woman in our parish who plays the organ at Saturday Mass and is also pro abortion. "Democrat Roman Catholic".

I work with a woman who is always talking church-speak. I happened to be in the office the day R v. W was overturned. She and another one like her were aghast at what just happened. She was also the first in line to wash feet at a BLM event held right after the George Floyd incident. Guess discernment isn’t her spiritual gift, but white guilt is. I don’t know how people can be so blind.

Infiltrating schools and churches was a goal of socialists way back in 1910. I was surprised when I found out that Cal Berkley had a seminary. I learned this because one of the ministers at the church graduated from Cal and was in charge of the youth group. All during the sixties, the first riots on college campuses seemed to start at Cal Berkley.

Gee, I’ve been saying that for at least 30 years. If one votes democrat, one votes for abortion on demand. One cannot be pro-abortion and a Christian. A “pro-choice Christian” is an oxymoron.

One word for your consideration...."infiltration". It happens in every aspect of our society...education, government, business, religion... It definitely happened in the Trump white house.

For the most part, the article nails it. However, many black Democrats are Christians, whites, not so much. This could be why so many blacks will be voting Republican, many for the first time; the Christian life permeates all facets of that life, including voting against decidedly anti-Christian, anti-life candidates. The time will soon come when all candidates will have to say whether they believe in God or not. Unfortunately, this is the case because of the politicization of what one does in one's private life.

My eyes were opened 52 years ago when my good friend and Christian mentor asked me why I called myself a democrat if I confessed a faith in God. Even back then, democrats were moving in an ungodly way.

Had my eyes opened my senior year in HS on how much of a Cafeteria Catholic I had become when I started dating a Methodist girl whose Dad was her church's organist. I began attending her church (because of her) but I also started appreciating how Methodists relied on the Bible so much more than Catholics. I broke up with my girlfriend the latter part of my sophomore year in college and in my Biblical journey I eventually found and began attending the Church of Christ (similar to Southern Baptists except Church of Christ followers traditionally don't use musical instruments since these aren't mentioned in the New Testament. For the record I don't have problems w musical instruments used during worship.) The Church of Christ and my Bible provide me with all the scriptural guidance I need - and I feel blessed

Scripture reveals 13 times in the Gospels Jesus said, “follow me.” If a person of faith professes to follow Jesus, it would seem such “following” would adhere to His teachings and to all teachings of Scripture, including the Ten Commandments which includes, “Thou shalt not murder.” In Matthew 12:30, Jesus said, “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” When choosing a candidate to vote for, the decision essentially says that is the candidate representing the values, including morality, of the individual casting the vote; it is saying the voter believes in, trusts, and approves of the chosen candidate to “speak for him/her” when casting votes that will impact the lives of all Americans regardless of race, religion or creed. The stark reality is, a person of faith casting a vote for a Democrat is approving of abortion as legislated predominantly by Democrats—a vote approving of murdering babies in the womb. While one’s nomenclature may seem inconsequential, the declaration of one’s faith is consequential and, in that perspective, to profess to be a believer, a Christian (Catholic or Protestant), identifying as a Democrat, and voting for Democrats is, as aptly stated by #7, “an oxymoron.” Whom to follow? The teachings and wisdom of Scripture or the follies of man? For a true believer, there is only One to follow.

Belonging to a church doesn't make you a Christian. Even attending church doesn't. A true Christian has a relationship with Christ and strives to be like Him, and serving Him. Anyone supporting the Democrat platform cannot be serving Christ.

Many Christians have convinced themselves that they can do whatever they want as long as they are a "good person". They overlook the fact that to love God is to obey Him. The devil's greatest accomplishment is that he has convinced millions that he does not exist.

Returns are not counted for days. It is intolerable for a modern democracy to wait and wait for all sorts of ballots both cast and counted under radically different and sometimes dubious conditions. The Democrats – with overwhelming media and money advantages – have mastered these arts of massive and unprecedented early, mail-in, and absentee voting. Old-fashioned Republicans count on riling up their voters to show up on Election Day. But it is far easier to finesse and control the mail-in ballots than to ‘get out the vote.’

The Two Mikes were joined about an hour ago by Lt. General Thomas McInerney (ret’d), who presented a brief report on last night’s election results. General McInerney said the election was a repeat of 2020 with widespread vote manipulation by the Democrats and their Chinese paymasters. The general pointed especially to Pennsylvania and Arizona, reporting that 330 thousand votes were shifted from Dr. Oz to Fetterman, and in Arizona about 36,000 were shifted from Kari Lake to Hobbs. This kind of thing, he said, occurred across the country.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson will be able to weigh in on a lawsuit surrounding alleged discriminatory college admissions practices after the high court decoupled a pair of cases surrounding affirmative action policies at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina , Chapel Hill. Jackson, who was sworn in as the first black woman on the high court last month, said in March that she planned to recuse herself from the previously consolidated lawsuits during her Senate Judiciary Committee hearings due to her role on Harvard's Board of Overseers, which concluded on May 26. But last Friday, the Supreme Court made a procedural step to separate the cases,

I was a child of the Watergate generation. Vacationing at a lake house the summer I was 17, I spent weeks glued to the committee hearings on TV. Back in school that fall, I wrote a paper arguing that Nixon should resist pressure to resign. Headed south the next August, I watched Nixon’s resignation speech at a motor lodge on I-95 and the next day, on the highway, listened on the car radio as Gerald R.

Recession May Be ((IS) Here 8 replies

The debate about recession risk is pointless. We are already in a recession. Real GDP (gross domestic product) in the United States declined at an annual rate of 1.6% in the first quarter. The Atlanta Fed Nowcast shows a 1.5% contraction in the second quarter. But the underlying figures are scarier. According to the Atlanta Fed, “the GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the second quarter of 2022 is -1.5% on July 15, down from -1.2% on July 8”. That is an enormous negative change, -0.3% of GDP, in one week.

Former President Donald Trump has superpowers. That much was established when he first stepped onto the political scene in 2015 and demonstrated his uncanny ability to transform folks on the left into crazed caricatures of themselves just by giving an utterance. It seemed that anytime he so much as sneezed, it immediately caused those who are left of center to have a collective meltdown. But now, he has revealed another superhuman talent: The ability to turn Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis into a Romneyesque neocon just by saying unkind words about him. That’s right. Ever since Trump took a few shots at the person believed to be his most formidable opponent

As Republican Adam Laxalt’s lead in the Nevada Senate race dwindles with 93% of the vote counted, his campaign is reportedly “bracing for a loss” and weighing asking for a recount. Laxalt is ahead of incumbent Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto by just 800 votes after 23,000 mail-in ballots were tabulated in Clark County on Friday. The results from the mail-in ballots are favoring Cortez Masto at a 2-1 rate. Clark County, home to Las Vegas, reportedly has about 27,000 mail-in ballots left to be counted.

Nevada incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto survived a challenge, defeating Republican Adam Laxalt and helping Democrats hold onto U.S. Senate, according to the Associated Press call of the race. Nevada was one of Republicans' top targets as they tried to break the Senate's 50-50 split, and Cortez Masto's reelection was a toss-up coming into the election. She was running neck and neck with Laxalt, Nevada's former attorney general who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Cortez Masto served two terms as Nevada's attorney general before becoming the first Latina ever elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016. She campaigned on women's reproductive rights,

Control of the Senate still hung in the balance on Friday, forcing Senate Republicans to briefly put aside their intraparty blame game as they go all-in on winning Georgia’s Senate runoff. The Senate majority could be decided in the coming days if Democrats defend the seats they hold in both Arizona and Nevada, where votes continue to be counted. But if the GOP picks up just one of those seats, Senate control will be determined by a Dec. 6 runoff election in the Peach State. GOP operatives continued to express optimism about the party’s chances of picking up a seat in Nevada

Phoenix - Incumbent Democrat Mark Kelly defeated Republican Blake Masters on Friday to win a U.S. Senate seat in Arizona, a contest that left Democrats one seat short in the battle for control of the chamber with two more races to be decided. The win by Kelly, a former astronaut whose wife, Gabby Giffords, survived an assassination attempt when she was a U.S. lawmaker, meant Democrats had battled to a 49-49 tie in the race for the Senate. "I'm humbled by the trust our state has placed in me to continue this work," Kelly said on Twitter. Control of the Senate - and the shape of President
