Izzy responds in blue:
Izzy,
As I perceive you, you are perhaps the biggest ideologue on this forum
(in a
political sense - others are ideologues in a theology sense).
If so, I have no problem with that.
In fact, if that’s what I am it must be good.
i·de·o·logue
An advocate of a particular ideology, especially an
official exponent of that ideology
From
appearances you are for a one party system desiring to throw democracy
out
the window. You have no idea
what you are talking about. I have NO desire for a one party system. I
love Democracy, and I know it is a God-given blessing to be able to vote. Those
who don’t vote are sinning in my opinion. Voting with no choice is hardly
a thrill.
You seem to be unable to perceive any 'right' in the 'left'. Not at this moment in time; at least not on
any issue of importance. The Left has demonized itself. I refuse to
compromise with that evil. Have you ever studied the French Revolution? Those
were Leftists who forbade any religion and ruled with the guillotine. They have
not changed since then. Read what they did and you will find the agenda eerily
similar today. I have never seen such demonic hatred towards Believers and
righteousness as I see in Leftists today.
You demonize the left while ignoring the many (and well documented)
sins of
the right. The “sins of
the Right” do NOT include mass genocide of the unborn—the rest is
small potatoes compared to that. You and Lance bring up ridiculous charges
which are never ever ever documented or followed through to a logical
conclusion. I cannot take any of your predictable charges seriously because you
show no ability to intelligently discuss a single issue. You just throw
out insults and think that is an intelligent argument. I am bored with your
blanket insults.
Read the quote again. Note Bill's carefully chosen words of
being blinded 'by the light on the right or the left'. Note why
Bill also
dislikes being called a Conservative (I could give you lots of examples
of
him expressing this if you wish - I have all of his books). He
attempts
(not always successfully in my opinion but at least he attempts it) to
view
his world not through a political view but through a moral view.
This is
why while he favours Bush over Clinton
he still has many criticisms for/of
Bush and his party. I have
stated clearly that I do not agree with every Bush policy by any means. Too
much spending; not enough border control, etc. But I agree with him on the big
ones.
He is one step ahead of you. I will quote the last
portion again as I feel it is extremely important:
"The antidote to this is to reject a rigid political philosophy
and
discipline yourself to think logically. Gather facts. Facts always look
out
for you. And that's a fact." Obviously you think you have done this and I have not. You
could not be more wrong. If you want to throw out an issue I will be happy to
show you the error of your thinking. But I am not going to start throwing
insults back and forth—which is all I have seen to date from the Lefties
on TT.
Jonathan, I don’t know where you got
the mistaken idea that I am a disciple of Bill O’Reilley. I like Bill
most of the time (not all!). But I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. That is
why I vote and believe the way I do.
I challenge you to go and read the facts. Study the left and the
right. Do
it logically. Think through an issue without labeling it left or
right,
liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat. Jonathan, it is impertinent of you to think that I have not
done this. But I if I had never gone further than the most important issue,
abortion, that would be more than enough. Any Party/ideology built upon that
bloody platform can go directly to hell.
Find out why half (or more
if I go by the current polls) of the country disagrees with you and why
almost the entire world outside of America disagrees with you.

Jonathan, when will approval of the Lord
ever matter to you more than approval by the lost and ignorant masses?
Matthew
7:14
"For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and
there are few who find it.

The answers
are not difficult to find and they are almost always regarding moral
issues.
I thought you were against morality. Don’t
pull a Kerry be double-minded. Izzy
