"1. You support revisionist history.

Last year, I wrote an article about Texas’ plan to revise history and include Moses as a Founding Father. When I shared the article with an educated Texas adult and asked “is this OK with you,” his response was:"

Moses had NO influence what sover on the American founding....Moron...

"2. You cite Jesus as your reasoning for rejecting marriage equality.

Yet the Bible only mentions homosexuality six times. Six. Times."

All positive no doubt....What a Schmuck!

"3. You use Biblical scriptute to excuse yourself from feeding the hungry.

There is nothing you do that makes me more disgusted with you than your abuse and misuse of 2 Thessalonians 3:10.

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10

Oh so i guess all those soup kitchens ran by churches are just serving imaginary food

"4. You lie when you say you value “freedom of religion.”

Freedom of Religion means that the government cannot create a STATE Church, "separation of church and State" was a letter Jefferson wrote, not a Policy written into the constitution. The 1st amendment right of "Freedom of Religion" was written to PREVENT the federal government from creating another "Church of England"

"5. You claim God speaks to you and tells you to do things.

Over and over and over, we see right wing nutjobs in the news saying they’re doing this horrible thing or that horrible thing because God told them to. This is, to quote the Christian Courier, “a very convenient method of authenticating what you want to do.”

He does NOT do that.

How does the author know for SURE isn't this the height of HUBRIS?

6. You question my faith.

“Christian Left is an oxymoron.”

Oh my, I’ve heard that so much from the right, and believe it or not, I often hear it from my “friends.” First of all, your questioning of my faith genuinely means very little to me. What it does is destroy my opinion of you; I now view you as self-righteous hypocrites.

Are you sure they are not questioning your sanity?

I’ll pray for you! :)

Go Ahead and render all to Caesar, when Caesar falls you will have nothing.

7. You care more about your guns than you do about children.

After the Sandy Hook massacre, and following other similar tragedies, I asked many of you if you loved your guns more than you do children. I made the statement of “I’d give up my gun forever if it would bring back even one of those children.”

I asked you if you’d do the same. You admitted that you would not.

We would not give up our guns because they may be needed some day to DEFEND OUR OWN CHILDREN!

8. You get excited about people dying.

You really, really like to see death. And not just to terrorists. You love the death penalty. You love war. You love seeing kids like Trayvon Martin being shot. They deserve it, you say. But his murderer has shown — again and again — since his acquittal that he is a dangerous person.

You want to see excited about dying, go check out all the E-mail sent to Jeb Bush after Teri died, the E-mails that supported him in this matter, lots of Libs, love their dying too, How many children were killed in the last 40 years, Roe vs. Wade... cough cough... THOSE ARE INNOCENTS, the DEATH PENALTY is PUNISHMENT FOR GUILTY PEOPLE who have TAKEN other people's LIVES!!!! And Self defense is another matter too, I suppose you would let a criminal assault you and do what they want because you feel shooting someone looking to main/kill your self is "going to far to defend yourself" ???? DO YOU FEAR the Death penalty so much, should the Crimes of PROGRESSIVENESS ever get TALLIED UP?

9. You assume that everyone who needs help are losers and parasites who refuse to work.

Approximately 47 million people receive food stamps, and most of them are children or the elderly, in addition to people who are employed. The numbers, from a 2012 USDA report: •45 percent of SNAP recipients are under 18 years of age •Nine percent are age 60 or older •More than 40 percent live in households with earnings

And where are those 45% parents? Hmmmm, we are against their parents living high on the welfare hog or making bad life choices that the government interferes with them feeling the consequences of those bad decisions so they never learn. How many POOR LEGAL immigrants come here and manage just fine? This is not 1800's Charles Dickens-ville anymore. As for the old people, does suckering them into thinking Social Security will take care of them later cause them to fail to properly PLAN for their retirement years???? YES, another aspect of Government Interference that has a negative side effect.....

10. You weren’t concerned about uninsured people– including me.

Most of you know that when I made the decision to become self-employed that I would be giving up my employer subsidized health insurance. I’m 47 years old, and like most people my age, have at one time or another had preexisting conditions that would cause insurance companies to deny me a private policy.

I didn’t want a free ride. I was eager to pay for my own insurance. Obamacare opened that door for me and millions of other hard-working Americans and disallows insurance companies from rejecting millions of Americans who were previously rejected. But without even knowing fully what the Affordable Care Act is, you chose the path of ignorance. You didn’t care.

WHY Does the "fix" for this problem as you seem to think as ONE of the FEW reasons we needed Obamacare in the first place require over 2,000 PAGES of Vaguely worded claptrap of a "Pass it before we read it" Monstrosity, when the FIX you wanted would have taken ONLY a FEW PAGES or HALF of ONE PAGE.....????

11. The Creation Museum — that is all.

You think this is OK. It’s not. These people just make stuff up. Do you really think kangaroos floated from Africa to Australia on rafts? Why are you condoning this ignorance?

This is BLATANT Stereotyping and creation of a straw man BY THE LEFT, As far as I can tell Conservatives in general are NOT ALL Y.E.C. (Young Earth Creationists), In FACT, from what I can tell the Number of YEC in the conservative movement are under 50%, making them a MINORITY, Nice way to treat a Minority you SCHMUCK! Do they get their Idea of what a Conservative is from watching the "Daily Show" probably....

...

...

...

I could go on, but it seem kinda pointless at this point.

So many cliches in one screed. Typical Marxist who refuses to think for herself so she lashes out with her strawmen arguments.

16. You insist on calling undocumented immigrants “illegals” and “aliens.”

We INSIST on USING the ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROPERLY, and not TWISTING the meaning of WORDS instead of coming up with terms such as "Undocumented Immigrants".

"Undocumented Immigrant" would in reality describe a poor immigrant who was coming over here legally and just happened to lose his green card in a tragic apartment fire or accidentally fed his papaers into a paper shredder..

THE MEANING OF WORDS MATTER!

“I just substituted blah blah blah for the rest of her rant...”

I was right in the middle of writing my “28 Reasons I’m done LISTENING to my Liberal Friends and Family Members.”

I should probably trim it down to 8. Or 2.

Marriage and civil societies.

The very fact that this marriage is going to the Supreme Court is a sad reflection on a free and civil society. Homosexuals make up only 1.6% of the population, and only about 25% want to be married. Why should a mere 0.4% of the population have the right to dictate to the rest of us what morality and marriage is?

Too many people confuse Law with Culture. A civil society makes laws in order to keep it vibrant and sustainable. All states have laws for helping married couples and to make help women who spend their time raising children and not working. Families get tax benefits and survivor benefits, that are NOT needed for same sex partners, because they will not create offspring that are related to both partners.

Traditional marriage has been around since before Christianity, all societies recognizes the need for it, even Atheists get married.
A civil society has the right to Promote, Permit, or Prohibit anything that would lead to it destruction or loss of viability.
Traditional Marriage of a man and woman is Promoted in order to keep the civil society alive by creating stable families. It Permits civil unions as an act of kindness to those in non-traditional relationships, and to give some rights that seem to be needed. However, the civil society also Prohibits anything that attacks, lessens, or destroys what it Promotes like traditional marriage.
Society need stable nurturing families of a Man and Woman to help them raise children, for without stable families a civil society will not exist.

I am sure all your shunned Conservative friends will be the richer for your absence. I only skimmed after number 2, but the amount of projection is awe inspiring.

...a single mom, and the founder and editor-in-chief of Liberal America.

Gee, I can't imagine why she's single.

The Christian Left.....where churches are just community activity centers, and where people think their souls have been saved just because they’re “nice.”

So anyhow….tell me, my loves, what are you cooking for dinner tonight?

Well, it will not be this article full of lies, distortions and some bits that are would be amusing if they were not so stupid. (Protesting is using force against less groups? Really honey child?)

I will, however, save it, grind it up and spread it over my garden. I predict a bumper crop of lovely flowers!

Ok some of her stuff I agree with. Moses what not a founding Father of the United States. Case closed.

No it is not alright to interrupt the prayers of another faith.

Other things she uses false analogies like because I would not give up a gun means I hate Children. Every time there has been a school shooting it stopped when someone showed up with a gun to oppose the guy shooting kids therefore more kids were saved by the use of a gun then were killed by it. I want more kids saved. And taking away guns from law abiding citizens does not mean criminals will stop getting them.

That is so good!

Mind if I snatch it and pass it on? I will tell folks I saw it on a FR post, and memorized it immediately, because you summed it all up perfectly.

As a Southerner, know just the type of “christian” this is— and they love to say how Southern they are. They aren’t, and they never will get it.

Central idea is that Jesus was a socialist and preached socialism. HE did no such thing. These are the modern liberal leftie “christians” who go to the giant churches with the rock band and the Garth Brooks wireless microphone singers who do a “show” and say it’s all for Jesus.

In other words-— the fakes.

Wearing their religion on their sleeves, because in their personal lives they have MUCH guilty activity to assuage and to tell themselves... “it’s okay”. When it isn’t.

You can’t ask for redemption if you ain’t been saved, baby. Don’t bring me the pieces of your shattered cross. Deo Vindice.
