Democrats vs Republicans

[Zaac]

If a Democrat is opposed to abortion, she doesn't have one.
If a Republican is opposed to abortion, he tries to ban them for everyone except his wife.

If a Democrat is a vegetarian, it's because he wants better treatment for animals.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, it's because he works for Monsanto.

If a Democrat is homosexual, he supports equality for other homosexuals.
If a Republican is homosexual, he leads a gay life in secret while hypocritically condemning that lifestyle in public.

If a Democrat is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he blames his situation on Democrats.

If a Democrat doesn't like a television show, he switches channels.
If a Republican doesn't like a television show, he launches a boycott to get the program cancelled so that no one else can watch it.

If a Democrat is religious, he quietly prays in private, as Jesus said one should.
If a Republican is religious, he demands that everyone be forced to pray along with him.

If a Democrat needs health care, he seeks to ensure that health care is accessible to everyone else as well.
A Republican buys stock in an HMO and campaigns against affordable health care.

If a Democrat reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Republican will attempt to have the sender arrested.

Democrats and Republicans. Republicans and Democrats.:BangHead:

I'm so glad that God is God all by Himself.

Funny and sad.

As your quote points out, there has been a steady move over the past century to separate faith and public life. It’s almost as if society has adopted the Wiccan Rede “an it harm none, do what thou wilt” as its own. Faith is something that becomes private and benign rather than reflective of Christ. Unfortunately private faith does not constitute faith at all - faith is something that we live by, not something to be held in secret so as not to influence others who may come our way. Of course the other side to the unfaithful “religious” is those who would hijack Christianity to serve their own political agenda. Interesting world in which we live.

Funny and sad.

And quite unrealistic spin. But, whatever ...

Zaac: If a Democrat is opposed to abortion,----

This first statement sets the premise for all the bovine excrement that follows; IE: not worth reading!:smilewinkgrin:

Must not know your audience very well to start out with such an obviously irrational statement.:sleep:

Aren't those of us who are saved glad that our future doesn't depend on what they do on Capitol Hill but rather what was done on Calvary's Hill?

A man said to the universe:
"Sir, I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"That fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation." (Silverstein)

Why do you have Silverstein in parentheses when Stephen Crane wrote the poem?

Because I was reading two things at once while thinking of something else and goofed. :wavey:

But thanks for the correction.

My experience has been that realism is normally the first thing to go when discussing politics.
