HIllary Clinton Questions the Christianity of Her Political Opponents. Is That OK Now?
Creative Minority Report ^ | 6/22/15 | Matthew Archbold

Posted on 06/22/2015 5:37:24 PM PDT by markomalley

Hey remember the good ol' days when questioning a political opponent's religion was out of bounds?
Christian Post reports:

At a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sunday, former secretary of state and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton mostly attacked her Republican rivals' economic policies until the very end, where she began to wonder about the lack of Christian compassion of other politicians.

Wait. So we're allowed to question our political opponent's Christianity? I thought that was out of bounds. Or is that just for Republicans?

While Clinton did not specifically call out any candidate or person by name she bewailed the lack of compassion and "mean spiritedness" of others in politics.

"Did they not go and hear the same lessons I did in Sunday school," asked Clinton. "Did they not sing the same hymns?" She continued questioning their morality and Christian theology by wondering, "Did they never hear, 'there but for the grace of God go I?'"
We were told that we couldn't question Obama's Christianity, remember that?

Or how about when Joe Biden dropped this intellectual nugget on us: "The next Republican that tells me I'm not religious I'm going to shove my rosary beads down their throat." And the media sided with him. Must have been his eloquence.

But I guess it's ok now to question a political opponents' religion. I must have missed a memo.

Dear Hillary,

Government is NOT society.

Sincerely,
Ben

Once again, the evils of equating individual choice of selfless compassion with government compulsion.

Which, of course, completely negates the spiritual aspect of giving.

Sounds like the Satanist is questioning her opponent’s Christian values. Fitting....

How about “Thou shalt not steal,” Hillary? How about that one about committing adultery? And cursing? And swearing to a falsehood?
If there ever was someone who has no right to question the Christianity of others, this evil doer should shut up.

She's all the insane hatred in the history of the human race in one person.

Well in this area and others, there are different criteria for liberals and conservatives. Conservatives are not allowed to question the beliefs of Obama or anyone else, but Hillary is allowed to do so. Because she is liberal.

Yes, don't get near her in a thunderstorm. It could be hazardous to your health.

The Clintons and Christianity. Like oil and water those two definitely don’t mix. Must be election season because it’s the only time lefties claim they found “god”.

Probably should question hers, that is if she is. If she’s not what gives her the right to question someone as to their Christianity? Do they carry an ID card like a DL that shows they’re Christian?

Nothing troubling or unusual about Obama's "religion".

Quote from James Cone:

"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal".

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

She has compassion.... with other people’s money. Her family “charity” exists primarily to enrich herself and Bill.

EXACTLY! This is a question someone should ask her...”How can anyone who supports abortion on demand call herself a Christian?” Answer THAT, Hillary!!!

It’s like the old Hebrews who demanded a king like the pagan nations around them though they were warned that a king would enslave them. So the American people will similarly respond on November 2, 2016. I shudder to see their results.
