Christian, law-abiding conservatives rarely engage in the behaviors you’ve listed simply because of the first two descriptors in this sentence. They aren’t drawn to trouble like magnets. They have a code of ethics based on Christian principals and the 10 commandments. They pursue lives of purpose that entail working to financially support themselves and their families, prefer to live independently under their own agency and resources, and through charitable giving assist in providing for the less fortunate.
Yes, exactly true. There is also no shortage of phony Christians who act like a wolf in sheep's clothing to use camoflage in their attacks on others, including, and especially, against actual Christians. I think of people like Bill Kristol in this vein. I cannot, without laughing out loud, put Al Sharpton in that category, because no actual Christian could believe he's one of us. But of course the beleagured journalist Don Lemon insists that he should be- ha, ha. John's point is right, and is why John Adams said this constitution will only work for a religious people, and clearly we've lost so much of that. Legalism- why do you think Jesus spent so many occasions railing against lawyers?
Very well said and I couldn’t agree more about how Ayn Rand would feel looking down at America. One point though: why lump libertarians in with the wackos trying to and getting others to interfere with ICE? Libertarians believe in following the law (they just want less laws) and are nothing like the crazy progressives running around causing mayhem, destruction, and violence.
