I have an issue with posts like this, which are typically skewed against conservative Christians (not liberal ones), and typically posted by someone who voted for the current President. And generally the one's wishing for civility and respect for the current President were the same one's engaging in less than civil discourse against George W. Bush, other Republicans or conservatives in general.
How was my previous post disrespectful, or was it just one you didn't like because I didn't vote and don't support the President? Was it because I used the words "Ignorant," "Arrogant," or "Incompetent?" Directed towards the man, yes it's disrespectful; however, I use them towards his conduct in office. To me there is a difference between the office and the man. |
I didn't mean to skirt. I voted for Clinton Twice, Voted for Bush the first time, didn't get a chance to vote the 2nd election, but would have voted for Bush a 2nd time and voted for Obama twice. With that said, I am not madly in love with the guy. And I actually stand up for Bush whenever my husband gets going, because I don't think he was the presidential version of the anti-christ.
And I am not in anyway against political conservatives. For many many years I considered myself a libertarian, but I have become more moderate in the last 5 or 6 years.
Mostly, I find that political parties don't fit me, in the same way that religious denominations don't. Because I'm like my name, I can't be pigeon-holed, and I deny logic, LOL
Honestly, this was not intended to be an attack on political conservatives. It was more a rallying cry to other Christians, that we not let our political ideological differences cause us to act less than Christ-like.
