Become Republican!

Beowulf,

There are many, many Christians that are Democrat, as well as other political persuasions, so to classify the GOP as "only Christian" shows your ignorance.

It is true that the DFL is in favor of labor unions and making sure people who are overly wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, instead of having others pay their way. Gay rights, abortion and gun control in their mantra. So is equal pay for equal work, not to mention "a liveable wage." This last one is what the GOP is totally against and will come kicking and screaming to make sure the working class pays for everything and these rich buggers don't pay anything.

It is true that the GOP is for rich people, not the ordinary working class. Give corporations "welfare" and encourage them to build in particular cities and states for deductions, while balancing the rest on the backs of people who can't afford anything.

As for taxes, well, this needs to be repealed. We have a government and its military totally out of control, not to mention the police forces (farces) in several cities in the United States.

In closing, God is NOT GOP or DFL. Where the heck did you ever think that one up?
 
Are you for real?
Killing the messenger shows PROFOUND ignorance.
It should be apparent this was just an attempt at humor.
Excuse me for breathing.
 
Pek1 - there is nothing about this satirical cartoon that implies to me that anyone is saying "all Christians are Republicans" or that "all Republicans are Christians", nor would any American capable of abtract thought make this conclusion about any US Political party; but if you yourself have not seen the way Christian Fundamentalism has become associated with the Repulican party, you haven't been paying attention. (Southern Christians were, for many decades, traditionally associated with the Democratic party, so this change is rather remarkable.) My suggestion for ALL Christians is that if we do not want to become associated with partisan politics, we need only stop aligning ourselves with specific political candidates, or demanding specific ideals be included in the official platforms of the political parties - and heck, we can stop voting while we're at it.

That said, I am quite happy to have MY faith influence MY politics, and will continue to write to candidates, office-holders, and others involved in our local, state and federal government, judicial system, and corporations to ask that MY Christian values be recognized. (They just arent the same as the values held by many Fundamentalists.)

PS. Beowulf - very funny cartoon. LOL
