Conservative Christians Warn Republicans Against Inaction

The Rev. James C. Dobson and many of his allies say they are deeply disappointed in President Bush and congressional Republicans.

Evangelical Christians, the president’s base, are warning that they may withhold their support in the midterm elections unless Congress does more to oppose same-sex marriage, obscenity and abortion.

N.Y. Times:

WASHINGTON, May 13 Some of President Bush’s most influential conservative Christian allies are becoming openly critical of the White House and Republicans in Congress, warning that they will withhold their support in the midterm elections unless Congress does more to oppose same-sex marriage, obscenity and abortion.

“There is a growing feeling among conservatives that the only way to cure the problem is for Republicans to lose the Congressional elections this fall,” said Richard Viguerie, a conservative direct-mail pioneer.

Mr. Viguerie also cited dissatisfaction with government spending, the war in Iraq and the immigration-policy debate, which Mr. Bush is scheduled to address in a televised speech on Monday night.

Sex is bringing down this country, with no thought of the innocence that is being lost, espically for children. Children need respect and protection which is not in the hearts and minds of so-called adults. Children are being forgotten, treated as if they are born mature. Children need to know that parents care about their emotional, spiritual and pysical needs. Children should always be the results of loving caring fahters and mothers that want to build a life toghether and create life. This is the reason for family and love. God created man to love, to respect and to live responsibly with great care taken to ensure good parenting skills, sound minds and bodies. To love God, is to love yourself, for you are His creation. Man and woman, becoming as one, in heart, soul and body. A life that can last, a family that flourishes. And a family that is centered around God. That is why we see partial brith abortion and families that have so many troubles. They don’t connect and protect each other, resepct each other. So as a woman, wife, mother and a woman that love God, I will pray that God will soften our hearts and let the love in, In the manner that God Almighty has placed in the souls of mankind.Every man seeks peace and love. A place safe for his family, and friends and love ones. That is the message of Jesus. That is His love. Goodness, Mercy and Grace. Let’s try to be better human beings for all are created by Him. To love and respect and protect, life that is God. Amen!!!! Praise Jesus.

They are control freaks and sex is the hardest human behavior to control. Sex (at least sex unsanctioned by society) MUST have bad consequences as a punishment. Preventing unwanted pregnancies and death from STDs just encourages people to do bad things in their eyes. They love to see people suffer. And if you suffer and are blameless? Well, God knows your heart and must be punishing for something. Unless, of course, you are one of the preachers. In that case you have been TEMPTED BY SATAN because of your saintliness. Just ask Jim Bakker or, dammit I am drawing a blank, the preacher caught with a hooker. I HAVE SINNED BEFORE GOD. That guy. Jimmy Swaggert!
