[Peace-discuss] The Kennedys' fake liberalism... [reformatted]

[Robert Dunn]

How dare you try to insinuate that I am "worshipping" anything. Supporting or not supporting a candidate is not the same as "latria."
How dare you say that I can not vote my conscience! My personal beliefs must be kept to myself. Bull, I say! No one tells you to keep your atheism to yourself!
NO one wants a theocracy. The only people on the side of theocrats are you leftists! You would rather see America under and Islamofascist theocracy then having the old American Republic restored.
We defeated your brethren in the old Soviet Union, and by the grace of God, we will redefeat the Left and put the final nail in its long awaited coffin!
Robert Dunn

>As an evangelical, I can not support McCain!
 
As an evangelical, you can’t support anyone or anything except God; and God is not running.  As an evangelical, are you not bowing down before graven images and supporting false gods by participating in the election and support in men who you wish to elect as God.  The old Caesarian adage of “render unto God what is God’s and unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s” will not work in a theocracy which is what most evangelicals want when they blur the lines between religious beliefs and public policy.

Ann Coulter pointed out that on many issues, Hillary is to the right of McCain. The grassroots right is upset. Many are willing to punish the GOP elite with a Hillary victory. She said she would endorse Hillary if McCain wins the nomination.As an evangelical, I can not support McCain!

Ah, at last something on which we can agree absolutely!! Well put... and you've also answered yr own question: evangelicals will be voting for McCain, rather than voting for Hillary or not voting at all.
