Republican Party and Christian Values
Dear Republicans, or “God-Fearing, church-going, law
abiding, moral and ethical citizens, who diligently practice your faiths by living in accordance with the word of God,” have
you read Matthews chapter 5 – lately? It would be helpful if you reflect on verse 7 (Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.), verse 8 (Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.), and verse 9 (Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.)
Instead of aggressively trying to prosecute Secretary of
State Hilary Clinton for emails she erased from her personal server, it will be
helpful if you recall that the last Republican President (George W.) and his
secretary of state were so fast asleep at the wheel that 9/11 occurred on
American soil while they were snoring. Note:
The Democrats or “the secular party” showed mercy while acting as peacemakers
in the months and years that followed. In spite of the fact that during that
time period George W. started a war in the wrong country (Iraq), lied about “weapons
of mass destruction,” created a flood of home foreclosures, the largest
financial meltdown since the depression of the 30”s, and greatest rise in
unemployment since 1929.
Note again: The Democrats or “the secular party”
simply rolled-up their sleeves and began the job of peacemaking, being
merciful, and pure in heart. President Obama and his fellow democrats treated
George W. and his secretary of state with respect and dignity.
Dear Republicans, don’t you
think it is time for you to begin to
practice what you preach?
Suggestion: This
Sunday when you go to church, you should ask God.
