When you take scripture out of context you deserve to be called on it. You also took my prior post out of context too. You seem to only know how to take things out of context to have it suit whatever you’re trying to want people to believe.
What you do and who you vote for and why is your business, but I’m here to tell you that I absolutely will not give my consent or support or vote to a baby murdering, homo agenda pushing, gun grabbing, liberal judge appointing, global warming hoax pushing, amnesty pushing, big government tyrannical socialist healthcare authoring enemy of Liberty!!
And I too am committed to working until they day I die. I already have no other choice.
From the Declaration:
All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
I absolutely refuse to grant my consent to a man or political party who spits onto the face of God and our founding principles while governing!!
That is indeed the case. Americans of the Founding Generation were motivated by centuries of oppression and bondage, which they were willing to bear any price to escape.
As you said, the current generations of Americans are the fat and happy heirs of all that so many millions of their forebears toiled, bled, and died to produce. They are too far removed from the stark pain and horror of those days to fully appreciate what a magnificent country was bequeathed to them. They do not value it as they should, because they've never known true deprivation, oppression, and bondage.
Things lightly valued, are also easily thrown away. Thus we have the widespread adoption of enslavement ideologies such as Communism, Socialism, and liberalism. If Americans who hew to those 'isms knew what those societies are really like, they'd beat feet it back to Old Glory in a heartbeat.
Great quotes, by the way. Thank you.
One of the most misused Scriptures. It is about hypocrisy. If you're an alcoholic you have no right to judge anothers drinking.
Let's look at the whole Scripture rather than take it out of context.
Matthew 7:1-5
1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brothers eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brothers eye.
Whatever.
Is abortion murder? And if so, what do you do with murderers? Especially murderers of babies?

You elect them as Republican presidents for they can beat Obama, silly!!!
When you push, people naturally rebel, when you pull you allow people to come to their own conclusion, ergo they will become an ally, and steadfast in the same ideals you brought them to.
Reagan was an expert at it, that was his ability to reach the people.
Folks have looked for even the vestiges of conservatism in Mitt and all they find is a far left winger, who does everything we criticize here on FreeRepublic. Apparently since he is registered as an "R", everything else is ok for some. Isn't that the height of hypocrisy. You can be the most left-wing person as long as you have a "R" after your name.
Strangely enough, I love my country more than I care about your stock portfolio.
Which BTW will ‘still’ go tho hell when Romney’s Global Warming BS gets into the Oval Office. Or hadn’t you thought that far?
100% agree.
Yea. I think not.
If the devil ran politics in the USA wouldn’t this be just what he was looking for.
“Hey, I can’t lose either way. I got a racist, socialist, baby killer on one side and a lying p.o.s on the other. All you gotta do pull the lever. Come on....you can do it..”
LOL!
Or as Don Henley, lib that he is put it
It was pretty big year for predators
The marketplace was on a roll
and the land of opportunity
spawned a whole new breed of men without souls
This year notoriety got all confused with fame
and the devil is downhearted babe, cause
there’s nothing left for him to claim
He said it’s just like home
It’s so low-down I can’t stand it
I guess my work around here has all been done
And the fruit is rotten, the serpent’s eyes shine
as he wraps around the vine,
in the Garden of Allah
Do you know what Jesus was saying there? He was telling us not to judge someone if we are doing the same thing. Then in the rest of the passage he goes on to tell us howto judge. The NT is filled with admonitions to judge, to distinguish good from evil. Read Paul.
Luke 12:57: "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?"
1 John 4:1: "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
John 7:24:"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
Dude, if Obama switched parties you’d back him to the hilt as “our candidate” wouldn’t you?
...
I do not vote for liberals.
Dang! That’s pretty profound.
I thought I was a big fan of Henley and the Eagles. What is the name of that tune?
BTW it fits this situation perfectly.
