Dr. Richard Land “Hispanics are hard-wired to be like us on sanctity of life, marriage and issues of faith,” Land told CNN recently, describing political similarities between Hispanics and white Southern Baptists. “I’m concerned about being perceived as being unwelcoming to them.”
So Dr. Land, although illegals may be “hard-wired” to be “like us” on these issues, they are also expected to vote en masse for a political party that is not “like us” on these issues. So explain to me how this gets us anywhere close to implementing policy that people “like us” support.
Most Americans obey the law!
I agree. Land needs to stay completely out of this. He’s worried about appearing to be unwelcoming, well there’s a way to welcome these people into the US legally as we all know. To me as a Southern Baptist it’s troubling that Land is placing appearances above the rule of law.
We don’t need this sort of muddled thinking.
Dr. Land is speaking at my daughter’s church on July 4th here in Georgia, and I had been looking forward to attending. But I really can’t believe he thinks like this. This is childish reasoning. They can observe sancity of life, marriage, and issues of faith in their OWN country! By the way, here’s a novel idea. Urge other countries to become decent enough that their people want to STAY rather than ESCAPE. Hey Mexico, get out the disinfectant and clean up your nasty armpit of a country. How dare you lecture US on our faults, Calderone!
Good point - I wonder how many of these Hispanic “evangelicals” vote Republican. I live in a very blue state that has lots of Catholics. The Catholic Church is strongly against abortion but that does not stop the great majority of Catholics from voting for the Democrat party. Look at the urban blue areas - they are heavily populated by Catholics who are supposedly prolife and profamily but they vote for the most liberal politicians of all. I am speaking as a Massachusetts resident so I know personally. When push comes to shove people vote money not morality. Many Catholics and Hispanics may be personally against abortion or gay marriage but the government give-aways come first, this is what has kept the Democrat party in power - giving away other people’s money.
I am disgusted with the so-called evangelical leadership, they are following the Catholic leadership in giving away our children’s future to the interlopers who invade our country and call US the racists, bigots etc. When Americans go to Mexico, they go with the permission of the Mexican people and they obey the laws of that country. Is it too much to expect the same respect from our neighbor to the south?
I hope that the voters will not listen to our misguided “evangelical leaders”. If you look up National Hispanic Christian Leadership Council you will see how they are well connected to some of the top evangelical groups. My impression of this Rev. Sam Rodriguez is that he is another slick talking snake in the grass.
