If I find his sense of humor humorous and if I can agree with his sentiment while not using his phraseology, am I now not a Christian?

He attacked his policies/decisions-- and not Obama as a man. None of his criticisms were ignorant or invalid.

He respected Obama and the office of the Presidency all while endorsing the GOP nominee.

If only everyone else in politics could ever be so decent.

Decent??

It's sad that his phraseology is humorous to you or another Christian but at least you were man enough to respond.

However, I am really tired of hearing that women are more important than men. He referenced that Ann's role was much more important and harder than his in the lives of his kids.

Perhaps that mentality is why there are so many absentee fathers.

I don't think that's what he was saying, I think he was saying being a stay at home mom is more important than the work that a man does outside the home. He wasn't saying men are unimportant to the raising of children.

Light,
You are acting as if there has never been a person that you have atleast thought about saying to them what Eastwood humorously implied.


Christians are tempted, but we usually don't sin. Eastwood is not a Christian (as far as I know), but there are some experiences that are common to all humans, and I could understand exactly where Eastwood was coming from.

No one is perfect. Sometimes my thoughts have been gutter level. In the past, some of my actions have been below gutter level. I will freely admit that there are people in my life who I have thought that if I would say that to them, I would be almost completely justified.

Most of the times, I didn't say it. I thought it, but I didn't say it. Even God understands the human emotion of anger.

If you have never wanted to say what Eastwood implied to another person, just keep living!

In an extended political season (3+ years) that has been so dirty and so personal for so long, Eastwood demonstrated how to respectfully disagree with an American President. He did so without disrespecting the man or his position. Eastwood did so without alienating the other half of his fellow countrymen who disagree with his opinions in part or in whole. He used humor and his presentation was a demonstration of his creative genious.

We need more Conservatives who can disagree with the President and communicate that disagreement without insulting the man, his accomplishments or his office.

Politically speaking, I found Eastwood refreshing. Presentation wise, I found Eastwood funny. I am glad Eastwood did what he did. If you believe I am wrong for my summations, feel free to show me how and then pray for me.
