Originally posted by Jedidiah View PostBut like all politicians, liberal politicians are not the same as the "man in the street" liberals. I think most of them are, as MM said, driven by the desire to control."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostThat's not how they think though. A lot of people under the liberal umbrella sincerely desire the best for all people. While there may be some liberal politician someplace greedily rubbing his hands together and twisting his mustache, most people I know who consider themselves liberal sincerely believe that they need to be the voice for those they deem are unfairly underrepresented, and repressed. They don't see most Muslims as extremists, or religiously intolerant, they sincerely believe that those types of Muslims who desire to come to the West are the type who would like to assimilate, and/or who will mix their culture into the melting pot so that we can all get something out of it. Most people under the liberal banner that I know truly and sincerely have their hearts in the right places. The problem is that they want the love, mercy and forgiveness of Jesus, but without the whole Jesus part. They want the values that Christianity has spread throughout the West without the Christ. They are heavily moved by their heart, but don't stop to lead their heart with their brain. The big issues with a lot of conservatives, though, is that they can often go too far the other way. Many conservatives overrule their heart altogether, in an attempt to save "me" and "mine".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostI think with liberals it's the opposite, and their politicians are often better people than their constituents.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Power seems to open the path for great good or great evil. And sadly, humans often pick the latter. For some stupid reason. Because the best way to keep power is to use it for great good! Or did I just write something that's beyond Clark Kent level of corny....If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

Originally posted by Sparko View PostYeah, Columbus is kind of an Italian-American cultural icon. The Italians are proud of having one of their own having discovered this country. It is ethnic pride. Which is why Columbus Day is so big in New York City. So why aren't the liberals being culturally-sensitive to the Italians?
Besides, I wouldn't want to piss off the mafia. Just sayin.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostI can only speak from my own experience. I don't know about you, but most of my friends and acquaintances are liberal, or would be labeled liberal by most of the people here. I've had some very deep relationships with these people. Even some truly intimate ones. I've spent many many long hours talking with them, debating them, and fellowshipping with them. While, again, there may be some mustache twirling evil liberal who is conniving with his other liberal pals to control the world, in my experience, the average liberal citizen is the type I explained above. They're not looking for control, they sincerely and honestly believe their own rhetoric. I know that may be hard to believe for some people, but it's the God's honest truth.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God
From "Fools Gold" by Petra

Extreme conservatives can be as bad as extreme liberals. Either way, stupid arrogant humans think they should have all the power over other stupid humans! Wait, I'm a human, so I'm calling myself stupid also.... Oh well. All have sinned. Sinning is being a jerk. Being a jerk to God is incredibly stupid. So, all humans are stupid!If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!
