Well, as everyone knows there is a vast gap between "theory" and "application". Hence the slaughter of millions of innocents by both Hitler and Stalin, who believed in their own brands of Socialism.

If you want to see what's getting really ugly, check out Keith Ellison and his connections to Radical Islam. That he was being considered for the Chairman of the DNC should have been a red flag for you. It was also meant to be a leftward shift. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/22/muslim-brotherhood-tied-group-paid-for-keith-ellison-to-visit-mecca-in-2008.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The popularity of Socialist Bernie Sanders among Democrats shows that in reality they would prefer to be Socialists, if not Communists. In fact, if he had not been sabotaged by the DNC, he would have run against Trump. And Hillary and Obama were simply applying the teachings of her anarchist mentor Saul Alinsky. Hence Obama's goal to "transform" (read "destroy") America was based on those anarchist principles. Since Ferguson, all we have seen is anarchy, and Chicago (which has strict gun control) is the murder capital of the world. Bernie Sanders is a Democratic socialist, which is actually very different than what you are making him out to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have. Which is why I know that the Democratic party is not the same thing as the socialism. I really do not know how else to explain that they are two different parties. But if that is what you want to think so be it. And I looked up what you said Norman Thomas said and found it on snope to be untrue. http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/socialism.asp I am not embracing socialism here. But I like people to know the facts about things. The fact being is that the Dem party is not the same as the Socialist Party. And to just call all members of any political party anti-Christian in their believes is just not right in my book. But I guess that is how some people see things so I will leave it up to them to work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence abortion can be justified without calling it "murder". I'm not so sure because Communists are not exactly warmed up to the idea of empowering women as far as I can tell. Feminism came from the Women's rights movement and I think it has been a positive thing in a lot of ways. I'm not crazy about a lot of their legal and social activists but very much enjoy some of their more intellectual ideals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are simply pawns of the Devil ... I frequent multiple boards and I see the right giving every bit as good as the left in the area of threats and disparaging remarks. Almost all of the Liberals I know are so because they believe the government can address problems better than individuals. I wholeheartedly disagree with them, but them having that view does not make the of the devil. This thread is on an open part of the forum that anyone can read, if a liberal that was seeking Jesus choose to read this thread, do you suppose it would be a good witness to the love of Jesus? This is a really good question @Out of the Shadows. Some of the comments on this forum make me sad. I even had to take a few weeks off before returning. I see things just seem to get worse. What people don't understand is that name calling is not the answer. If I call you a name you'll just call me another worse name. We won't exchange ideas or really seek to understand why others believe the way they do. Instead, our anger will grow and we'll simply be talking over each other. How does this point people to Jesus?
