Am I the only one perplexed by Christian McCain supporters? Am I the only one who finds the phrase 'Christian Republican' an Oxymoron? Am I the only one startled by the mixed message of those who follow Christ and yet believe in capitalism, 'pulling yourself up by your bootstraps,' rewarding only the "deserving" poor, supporting policies which abuse our God-given planet, treating children's educations as if these were experiments in the free market, denying what should be basic rights such as health care and living wages, putting 'country first' instead of humanity first, supporting policies which encourage human rights violations and child labor in other countries. . .? This list could continue indefinitely. Someone please clarify how any of this is Christ's message. This is a sincere request for someone to explain how the Republican philosophy and Christ's teachings align with each other.
