Mimics what happened in other places under socialism. Some are better, some worse, but it's all bad.

Your recent posts are like watching ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’, or maybe I’ve just been giving you the benefit of the doubt a little too long. Not sure what you are cheerleading for, but no sale here.If only there were Christian Democrats to fight for Scandinavian Socialism in the Democratic Party ... but we all know that no Christian could EVER be a Democrat. Right?

If they are socialists, then they will seek to devour the church, just like the devil does as they become allied with the devil's people.A step back from the shrill cries of hyperbole and a return to sanity.

100 years of Democratic Presidents (good, bad and in between)
Which one attempted to institute a Venezuelan type dictatorship, abolish “free speech” and convert the economy from capitalism to communism?
The rhetoric is turning discussions into echo chambers by shouting down and demonizing all opposition. While I do not agree with the proposed Democrat MEANS (larger and more obtrusive government), I cannot argue that imprisoning rape victims to prevent them from harming unborn children is exactly how Jesus would have handled the problem. Nor can I agree that affordable healthcare is a policy that is directly from the mouth of satan. So I stand with neither those that want “abortion on demand” nor with those that scream that “anyone that voted for a Democrat is not a Christian”.
An unlikely source once said that in every sport there are three teams on the field. The HOME team, the VISITING team and the REFEREES. The Home team and their fans cheer only for the Home team, and the Visiting team and their fans cheer only for the Visiting team. The Referees are free to move in an among either team and both teams because their allegiance is to something greater than the Home Team or the Visiting Team. The Referees have sworn to uphold the sanctity of the GAME. They side with the cause of what is RIGHT and what is JUST and what is TRUE. Christians are not called to the Republican or the Democrat TEAMS, we are called to the side of GOD ... the Referee that pursues what is RIGHT and JUST and TRUE wherever it is found, and who are free to pass among either or both teams as GOD and our DUTY calls us.
So I choose to defend the cause of truth against hyperbole.
I choose to defend my Liberal Christian brothers and sisters, with whom I disagree on details, against slander by other members of the body that seek to bite and devour them.
