Explains yer face. Give it your best shot, Chris. I am woefully unskilled at Christianity, but, would be interested, as a layman, in someone articulating Christ’s teaching and how that compares favorably to leftist dogma. Should be right in Drew’s wheelhouse but he’s up in the reloading thread. ______________________________ I’m praying for the day someone starts a hockey thread. (Wings finally won last night.

Start with you. I’m guessing you and Chris will have about the same batting average in this post.

Noted. So am I a Christian. But can you explain why you are not a conservative? Most gun owners and Second Amendment supporters are. What is so attractive about liberal thought and causes that enamor you? There are many times more conservative voices out there for morality and sanity than liberal ones. JR ....I or the few others to politely offer an answer, do you think that could be done without devolving into a fight? Please do, but do your part to minimize the devolving. Consider factual comments that are in context with those you vote for, their actual policies, and their real world results, and not faux decorum? I'm afraid this, and other responses show a level of mistrust that skews towards intolerance. When you would like, I would be happy to freely explain and answer John's question, preconditioned that we all partake with open minds and refrain from debasing each other and attributing ill motives.

"Tolerance is the last virtue of a man without principle."- G. K. Chesterton
"And gradually, though no one remembers exactly how it happened, the unthinkable becomes tolerable. And then acceptable. And then legal. And then applaudable."- Joni Eareckson Tada

Thank you for making yourself clear John. I will not burden you with discussion if you are staunchly distrustful of it.

Please don’t be afraid, why not own it? All I’m asking is for you own it factually, and not emotionally. How about this, don’t allow motives to run amok, just reconcile the policies and result of left wing officials with your call for open minds. What is the point of open minded discussion, when your left wing policy makers continually impose closed minded erosions of United States citizen rights? As to mistrust, simply earn trust, why not? I, if not we as a group, can recall your belittling, not factual opposition on issues of Christianity based life styles, principals, and even its basis for law that governs us. Playing a victim of your definition of bullies, is not a way to appear above the fray, is it?

Keith, Dropping a steaming pile is the one thing you're good at .Michael Gerson called Trump out because Trump is a con man. Why he appeals to Christians is impossible to imagine. I've asked Drew, and he doesn't offer any explanation. The Republican Party is no longer conservative. They don't conserve anything but the right to do whatever you please in order to get whatever you want. This is a prescription for the new Dark Ages.
