The Jesus wigs are as irrelevant as their “Messiah”. The Republican party is not the party of Jesus of Nazareth. If anything, the opposite is true. The Founders were significantly influenced by deists like Franklin and Jefferson, even though the J-wigs have tried as earnestly to erase that fact as the leftists have tried to erase other tenants of American history.

After all, the J-wigs had nearly 1400 years to impose the “Bible” on citizens through government. It is called the Dark Ages.

Sometimes Laura can be an incredibly self-righteous person, and one of the most shameless self promoters on the radio. Her radio show became a month long self indulgent non-stop commercial for her latest Ann Coulter knock off. Her show is sometimes nothing more than her and her side kicks giggling like high schoolers cutting class.

It makes me think that even with talk radio and blogs, the Right does not have the kind of communicative power needed to achieve its goals (which by the way are not religious).

I was hoping Michelle was not a “praise Jesus” type, and I was under the impression that Allah Pundit was non-religious. Everyone on this site should read Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Then come back and listen to this audio.

I suggest you keep an open mind and actually find out what the facts are.

I’m well aware of the facts, thank you.

Huckabee is not a conservative. Not even close.

We in the conservative movement have to get over ourselves.

……

For me, a less than perfect and desirable repub (emphasis TRI) is far b[e]tter than anyone on the left……..

You said what I’ve been thinking, ever-increasingly, for twenty-plus years… We can’t afford to lose to those who would give our country away wholesale and subject us to full socialism, communism, or sha’ria. I’m no more content with the deviant-marriage or abortion situations than Michelle, Laura, or anyone else here…, but sane, solution-oriented, sovereignty-conscious, genuinely patriotic citizens need to be, SOLIDLY and Firmly, ‘in control’ before ANY real change can even be debated among such people. The Lib-Dems need to be relegated to spectator status if we’re ever to return to that which our Founding Fathers created and our Forefathers, so valiantly, maintained, up to the point where our freaks on the fringes began to abuse our tolerant generosity.

On a different note…
Could we NOT refer to our guys as ‘Repubs’ and call them “Reps” to give it a ‘jaunty’ sound, as opposed to resembling the names which the Dems call us…? Thank you.

Oh snap! Questioning my conservatism!

Wouldn’t question your conservatism. After reading through your blog, it seems like your position is well thought out and the writing is great.

Huckabee is not a nanny-stater.

Yes. He. Is. Period.

And why is that? You gotta give me something more concrete than workplace smoking (something that some people, like my brother, are extremely allergic to, BTW)… As for taxes, F.A.I.R. T.A.X. Check it out. BTW, the few taxes he did raise while Governor he has already clearly explained the rationale behind that. I suggest you keep an open mind and actually find out what the facts are.

Oh snap! Questioning my conservatism! Aw, that’s ok. I spent a lot of time watching MTV when a teenager so I think that automatically takes some points off my total conservative percentage.

Bryan, has MM been banned from Fox News? Haven’t seen her on the O Factor for a couple months.

She quit the O’Reilly Factor. However, she still appears on other Fox News shows from time to time.

Huckabee is not a nanny-stater.

Yes. He. Is. Period.

Laura offered that Huck was a reasonable choice. Not sure if he would be tougher on immigration than Rudy.

When it comes to immigration, Hunckabee makes Rudy look like Tom Tancredo.

Thanks for posting the link to that debate. More christians and atheists should experience debates like this to expose the light on their own presuppositions.

Oops! Did I say the presup word? I exposed a bit of myself.

Now it’s Fred!s fault that the “useful tool” endorses Rudy.

Was Fred! supposed to badmouth Robertson?

I agree that Roberson’s endorsement is a hinderance for Mayor 9-11.

Joshua,

I enjoyed taking a quick look at your neat website.

I listened with interest to your audio clip, “Tips for Christians debating Atheists.”

I agree with you that Type 2 Christians are nasty, irrational, disrespectful, (and most importantly: unChrist-like.

You have articulated other helpful points as well.

One disagreement I have with your audio clip, in my humble opinion, centers on the metaphysics and epistemology of the Type 1 atheist.

This is off-topic, but I just wanted to say I enjoyed your audio clip overall, with some reservations about the correct philosophical defense of Christianity.

I must have missed the memo that all conservatives have to vote on the abortion issue.

That memo was only for the real ones ;)

Huck’s a squish on border/illegal immigration issues, possibly worse than Bush, he’s a tax squish and big spenda, also has abysmal ratings from the Club for Growth.

Can you site something else, besides the government workplace non-smoking ban?
I hear that Huck is un-electable, then they bring up the one thing. Is there more negatives?

Unfortunately, yes. He’s bad on taxes, spending and immigration. Huckabee is a silver-tongued George W. Bush.

So here we are…there is no Reagan in the GOP field…no clear-cut conservative with the proper creds. What are we to do? Go third party and give the fifth column the presidency with our men and women in the combat zone and an enemy trying to annihilate us? Vote for someone based on a few social concerns while ignoring the major issue of our time…with the result being to again hand the fifth column the victory? There are those elections where you have to make decisions on more than just one level. This is one of those elections.

For me, a less than perfect and desirable repub is far batter than anyone on the left……..

To contrast within the opposition, the primary objective of an Obama presidency would be to advance liberal policies, while the primary objective of (a third) Clinton presidency would be to legislatively, bureaucratically, and judicially tilt the national playing field such that it will be virtually impossible for Republicans to ever again achieve political power. Period.

In other words, even if Giuliani were in political lock-step with the most leftist of Democrat candidates, he would be better for the future of Robertson and conservatives of any stripe than the Clintons, who want not just to govern liberally but to fundamentally change the nature of American politics in a way not seen since FDR. When your very survival is at stake, it’s not the time for perfectionism.

I agree with you: Huckabee is notoriously weak, and he, just like Rudy, are liberal on illegal immigration.

Michelle was correct about questioning if Robertson’s endorsement is an asset to Rudy. Many of us Bible-believing Christians have long raised “red warning flags” and have expressed serious doctrinal concerns about Pat Robertson and his views on God, especially his mystical, irrational, subjective, and non-traditional views on God’s Revelation, ex. “God just spoke to me today…”

Whenever a professing Christian leader appeals to subjective, mystical experiences to justify their views, all of us Bible-believing Christians should be very concerned and worried. The Bible alone is the Word of God.
