If you claim to be a Christian - LOVE YOUR REPUBLICAN NEIGHBOR!
I am a Republican. A pro-life, anti-nuke Republican.
It
hurts when those of you who don't agree with me yet claim to represent
the party of inclusivity, tolerance and love drag into every discussion
of these issues name-calling and condemnation not only against
my--our--President but against all Republicans. Against me.
I,
too, hate the president's policies regarding nuclear weapons. They are
scary, appalling. I voted for him because of his policies on so many
other issues: abortion, marriage, the economy, Israel, immigration,
freedom of speech, religious freedom. I support his choices for members
of his cabinet and of the courts, including the Supreme Court.
And I thought the alternatives were worse.
If you claim to be a Christian - LOVE YOUR DEMOCRATIC NEIGHBOR!
I used to be a Democrat. A pro-life, anti-nuke Democrat.
It
hurts when those of you who didn't agree with me yet claim to be the
party of truth and integrity dragged into every discussion of these
issues name-calling and condemnation of all Democrats. Of me.
I,
too, believe we must respect and obey the law. I believe civil
disobedience, when necessary, should be first and foremost--civil. I
believe we should respect each other's rights and property. I believe in
equal opportunity, free enterprise and the Constitution. I believe in
God.
Can't we set the expletives aside and discuss these things as brothers and sisters in Christ?
