"...our founding father's understood that the guys with the guns make the rules..." - Wayne LaPierre, CEO National Rifle Association, speaking to the gathering of conservatives gathered for this year's CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference).
seriously? this statement was followed by a huge applause by the audience. is this what the conservatives believe? wish to uphold? did they not get the memo from the recent elections?
the people of the United States of America voted them out for not getting it (it's not the Democrats, they didn't kick them out, the citizens did) because of their views and ideologies that are archaic and ignorant, a failure to see that is the problem....as for Christians (evangelical or what not) who uphold conservatism, I'd have to really ask you to think about your Christian Worldview (which evangelicals claim to be the center of their ideals) and it's consistency with that of Jesus Christ's Good News (offer the other cheek?)...i say this not in favor of liberalism, but to critique the American brand of Christianity (which tend to be more American than Christ-ian)? what really matters? what is important? what are we saying (what gospel are we spreading here)?
