Jesus and Witches

I think someone should have Sarah Palin address the disconnect between her profession of faith as a Christian and her opposition to "spreading the wealth." Does she not hold the scripture as authoritative in her life? Acts 4: 34-35,"There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. The laid it at the apostles' feed, and it was distributed to each as any had need." Or consider Jesus' words, Matthew 5:40-42,"...if anyone wand to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well...give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wnats to borrow from you." In the face of Scpriture, how does Sarah Palin justify her this-is-mine-I-worked-for-it-and-you-can't-have-any-of-it attitude?

For those who have mentioned that Religion and Government should not be mixed:

The U.S. government was based on Judeo-Christian values whether you think so or not. Equality in the constitution was based on the biblical concept of equality. If you want to separate our Constitution and Christianity, forget it. The Bible is ingrained in the Constitution and is it's foundation of those that wrote it.

Nimodahooligan- It might be better for you to understand WHY Jesus said anything at all about GOD'S WILL.
You honestly believe that God wants NOTHING to do with our government? Our Lord God who leads us in ALL aspects of life? Wow...now I am ashamed at your ignorance. And you make me sick with your nasty response, and in the case -what are YOU doing here wasting your time? (of course only gives more credit to your ignorance)

Dbbmdd,
I give no credit to your sources. You clearly don't understand Christian faith and have not read the responses in this post, if you did you wouldn't feel the need to post those links which do nothing for your case.

Freemason33,
Much of your information is entirely false. Most everyone knows that MOST of the mainstream media is LIBERAL. And had you been reading the responses on this matter, you would have faith in what was meant and not take it out of context!

Thanks to Vote Now or outlining the situation to me... I feel less murky in the head now about American politics... Thanks again :-)

A word to the religious over here: I may have approached Louisianaconserv and paproudmom at tad too harsjly... I apologise for my biting comments but believe me they are the product of bitterness and the holes uin this 'faith'

One of the principles driving the founding of this country was religious freedom. Maintenance of that over time requires a separation of church and state. One cannot have religious freedom when the laws discriminate in favor of one strain of faith. Electing a person like Palin who would not maintain that separation and whose primary right wing appeal is that church must take over state would relegate the US to be mirror images of various middle eastern countries with religion dominating the state and virtually zero rights for citizens outside of religious dictums. What next? 21st century Crusades? Never mind that this unlearned, untraveled woman does not have the statesmanship and diplomatic background for the job.

Obama has 63 Nobel Laureates working on his policy team. They are developing a plan to push America back to the top. Who is responsible for McCain's planning? Americans would be shocked to find that Douglas Holtz-Eakin is the sole person responsible for planning McCain's policy for America's future. Holtz-Eakin is also McCain's economic advisor, filling two full time positions on McCain's team. How can one single man (an economist) be responsible for developing a viable technology plan for our future? Obama has an enormous pool of the most intelligent, talented men and women in America working for him. Soon, they will be working for US.

And let's not forget that the McCain campaign spent more on Palin's makeup artist than it did on it's foreign policy advisor. When you pay your makeup artist DOUBLE what you pay your foreign policy advisor, it is time to start examining your priorities.

You look just fine without makeup, John. And Sarah is young enough not to need any. So cut the crap, and start paying some good ECONOMIC ADVISORS so you can have a fiscal plan to present to America. We're in the middle of a huge global financial meltdown, and you are worried about hair and makeup? PLEASE start worrying about the middle class, John. Please.

Nins: "McCain is 72 years old, with high cholesterol and high blood pressure; his father and grandfather each died of heart attacks at age 72."

Typical Leftwing Scare Tactics! You should be ashamed of yourself Nins!!!

Just more proof that Nins is part of or associated with the "Underground Progressive Movement" to destroy good old fashion family and reasonable moral values.

Just want to say that Obama-worship has really become cult-like. People just put their blind faith in him and listen to all his words. Everything he says is "gold" & "truthful" & "factual." No self-analysis of Obama's words. The amount of money put into his campaign is also cultish - like all those who give everything to their leaders because they think their leaders know how to spend their money & and have better things to spend their money on than the people themselves. Consider Obama's ostentatious DNC backdrop. Did he really need to spend the $$$$$$ for that? Does he need to spend millions on his thousands of TV ads & other ads? Does he need to take his costly private jet for his own personal use? Does he need to spend the $3.5-$4 million on his 30-minute "all about me" informercial? This is sickening. Wake up, people. This is how he will spend YOUR money when he can get his hands on the billions of tax revenue. All for his own self-advantage & the advantage of those whom HE chooses to give to. Truly SICKENING!!!

waynelaw78...yes, that's what i've concluded, and thank you so much for the accurate description of yourself, it saves me the trouble.

Someone should do a study and see how many different "intolerant" names Christians have been called in this blog.............And you call us judgmental. Wow!

Man, this is unbelievable. The media spends every day of their lives attacking and putting Sarah Palin under the political microscope. Her religion, her beliefs, her votes, her actions as Governor. But a second rate Senator from Illinois does not get the least amount of scrutiny for his religion, his beliefs, his votes. his action (or inaction as the case may be) in the United States Senate. What up, homey, what up? This is called media propaganda and manipulation. If the media can keep you focused on half truths about Palin, they have successfully kept you from focusing on the flaws of Obama. Oldest trick in the book.

People in case you have not noticed Jesus was a revolutionary, he was a communist, he rallied against the establisment who in his eyes exploited his people. It's funny to see how Republicans love money so much and exploit people so much (big corporations), and here they are calling themselves christians, and not only that to say that they are the only ones with clear reason. This just goes to show you how religion can be used to control not liberate people. You have got to learn how to think for yourself not as the established government commands you to. Jesus said that the last ones (the poor...) will be the first in the kingdom of heaven. Everything has to be in moderation.

Let's review our choices. We can vote for a white woman who is non-racist follows a black Pastor who wants to get rid of evil and protect the United States of America or we can follow a racist anti-semetic black man who follows a black Pastor who wants to tear down the United States of America. Do the people at Newsweek think that we are stupidand they can manipulate this election???

I am really enjoying these moments as I watch the fall of the Corrupt Republican empire. I will really enjoy seeing McCain give is speech conceding to Obama. I will enjoy watching Stevens doing he Perp walk. I will enjoy watching the many Republican senators traded out for Democrats. I will enjoy watching Obam redistributing the wealth. I will enjoy listening to Republicans complain about Obama as he reinvest in the middle class, I can't wait to see the exodus of Republican cronies out of DC.
