Can a Christian be a liberal? Short
answer: no. There is no way a Christian can buy into progressive/big government
ideology and be faithful to the bigger-than-Dallas teachings of Scripture and
expect to continue enjoying his hard-won religious liberties.
For the “Christian” to lean politically
to the left means that he must blow off huge chunks of the Bible and replace
Scripture with the make-believe notions of PC’s malleable “Christ.” Only after
torturing Scripture can the Christian then fit current liberalism into his
supposed relationship with God.
For the Christian who believes that
unfeigned faith in Christ should correspond with Jesus’ high view of Scripture,
it is impossible to believe in God and be an adherent to this schlock.
Liberalism has been hijacked by bizarre
special-interest thugs who defy the Word of God and believe that the Bible has
no place in public life (except maybe in a museum where people can look at it
from time to time).
The Christian skipping around the
maypole wearing his rose-colored glasses who has a bent to the liberal left
needs to understand something: If it were left up to the modern, secularized
liberal establishment, Christians would be more restricted than Bill when
Hillary’s in town. If the Christophobic thugs had it their way, Christians
would be relegated to a marginalized spiritual ghetto on the sidelines of life.
For the naive Christian voter who thinks
he can toss a ballot in the progressive direction, please know that a vote
toward the secular left could leave you bereft of sacred liberties. Thanks to
the aggressive and ludicrous liberal lug nuts’ anti-Christian agenda, your vote
for a leftist is a vote for:
1. Christianity to be scrubbed from
government and whatever turf the government owns. Thanks to the liberals, the
Ten Commandments have about as much acceptance in our government and their
properties as Rush Limbaugh would at Sandra Fluke’s family reunion. The
Judeo-Christian principles that formed the rock-solid foundation of this great
American Experiment are now aggressively and consistently attacked by the
lascivious left.
If . . . if . . . the secularists
continue to stay behind the wheel of this American bus, you can kiss all
semblance of Christianity good-bye in this heretofore God-graced government.
Saint, you might as well say farewell to our government’s recognizing Christmas
and adios to Good Friday if you’re going to vote the liberal ticket. If the
secularists have it their way, Easter will be behind your keister, and you can
kiss the Cross good-night as an acceptable public symbol that represents your
faith and our nation’s recognition of Christ’s atoning work.
2. Secularism to be continually
mainlined into our public school system. Thanks to rabid, vapid secularism, our
public schools and universities would rather you be a Rocky Horror super freak
than a Christian. If your beliefs run to the bizarre or the banal or if you
want to smoke the same philosophical crack that Caligula, Nero, Castro or Lenin
freebased, they’ll accommodate you.
Our schools are totally open to anyone
and to anything, unless, of course, you’re a Christian. And if that’s the case,
then you’re likely to get more sympathy from a badger with minimal sleep than
you will from liberal educators who are hard at work making your life hard. Let
me repeat: A vote for the secular left is a vote for Christianity to continue
to be officially vilified on campus and for Christians to be ostracized in
campus life.
3. Public officials, employees and
appointees to be pressured to hide their faith in the closet and suppress their
public displays of belief in God lest they be grouped with Hitler, Osama, or
Mussolini and then fired. Not only will the liberals aggressively work to
prohibit the State from green lighting and recognizing Christianity as a legitimate
and positive force in our land, they will also attempt to stifle Christians
from influencing the path of government.
4. Public attacks on churches and
Christians and attempts to restrict them in the private sector. Consider this,
Christian pastor and Christian lay person looking to vote for the ludicrous
left: The secular Mafioso’s intent is to make your ministerial life difficult,
your evangelistic work taxing and your voice minimized.
5. The continued media endorsement of
the same putrid, hedonistic stuff that sunk ancient civilizations. With the
liberals in place, expect more weird crap in movies and on television. Expect
to see more paintings of Christian symbols and saints smeared with elephant
dung. Expect Christianity to be bashed and vilified and Christians made out to
be buckled-shoed morons with three teeth and an IQ of 50. Expect the culture to
coarsen. Expect your kids to continue to be exposed to things that only rock
stars see backstage with groupies. A vote for a liberal is a vote to see
Christians continue to receive special ridicule and be flogged more than a
piñata during a Cinco de Mayo festival.
Modern liberalism tosses out Scripture
on several different levels. How a true believer in the Christ defined by
Scripture can buy into what Jesus, the prophets and apostles said and also give
credence to what these secular goons say is beyond me. In addition to
liberalism’s obvious and odious pro-Holocaust-like abortion stance, its
anti-biblical view of marriage, its Scripture-slamming, aggressive secularism,
and its feckless view of our nation’s defense, liberalism completely clashes
with the Christian worldview. Progressivism’s aggressive desire to eradicate
Christians’ rights should cause Christians to be concerned.
The Democratic Party’s liberalism has
degenerated over the last 40-50 years in regard to its view of Christianity and
Christian rights. This party, which formerly embraced and protected our
nation’s great Christian heritage and teachings no longer does so. Thus, today
the Christian is between a rock and a hard place: He can either be a Christian
or a liberal—but he cannot be both.
