Onward Christian soldiers

Pat Robertson thinks most of the church people are so stupid anyway.( so do the other ministries.) ( that is why we are supposed to follow Jesus and not man) He figured that by endorsing Giuliani that the sheep would follow him and go along with his Presidential endorsement without a peep. Robertson really made a fool of himself. I am glad he did, since I am a Christian. The real church needs to wake up and smell the manure from our so called 'Christian ministries'. I was suckered once by them, but God opened my eyes after some real hard lessons. Robertson is not the 'Christian' he claims to be but a 'wolf in sheep's clothing'.

biblelvr777 - Did I miss something? I did not know he is working with Hillary or one of the other Libs, I thought he was supporting Rudy because he sees a bigger threat to us in the Terrorist war on us, and being sure of appointing judges who will read the Constitution.

Pat Robertson has sold out. He is now possessed by the Devil. Social conservatives should eject him from the party. Christians should never compromise with Satan. And that is exactly what Pat Robertson has done today. Shame on him!!!

I am really dissapointed with the "Christian Right". It's truly a mess...

I agree completely with you, Brett Passmore. Well said.

Like Mike? Sign the Huckabee Petition!

Mike Huckabee is right on, as he usually is. The "Christian" Right is far too much interested in its own power to endorse a man with strong moral convictions like Mike Huckabee. He won't need them their support though... because he has us!

"But secondly, if they really are principled, it's not about who might win, it's about who stands with us. And, frankly, it's a little disturbing, if not frightening, that some have forgotten the essence of what Jesus taught" ................
.............. tell me it isn't so ... all of these evangelicals have been putting the love of power over the power of Love for decades ... where has Huckabee been?

-jro-: Most of the founding fathers were DEISTS. Not atheists. They weren't Christians, per se, but they certainly weren't atheists. Do a bit of research, please.

Deism is (from dictionary.com) "the belief in the existence of a God on the evidence of reason and nature only, with rejection of supernatural revelation (distinguished from theism)." A secondary definition is the "belief in a God who created the world but has since remained indifferent to it."

The founders were all well-educated, enlightened men who arrived at their beliefs through common sense. It's no wonder they were deists (and libertarians, more or less--but that's another story).

I used to admire Pat Robertson, but after this I can surely say that I no longer do. It makes me sad to see that Pat Robertson has decided to back Giuliani, a candidate that supports abortion. Its no wonder Christians are getting our rights trampled on. We are in essence trampling on our own rights, by electing people like Giuliani. In the future, when we look back and see how our country has declined morally, we need not be surprised; because we would have all had a part in it.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.

"The Religious Right? Do you mean those who believe in a God, A greater good and Family Values? I know the Atheist Left believes so much in Family and what this country was founded on right? NOT!" posted by spock:: WHAT this country was founded on was the declaration of independence and the Constitution- not your violent holy book of terror. Jefferson- athiest. Adams- athiest Franklin- athiest. The Enlightenment is called such because the threw of the shackles of the most oppressive forces of the time: the english empire, and the christian church.

Rudy may not be a perfect conservative, but yet no one is! But he made promises that follow the conservative way, where it matters, in the courts and in Foreign policy. for me he is not my first choice, but if the Republican put him up as their candidate i will support him! Then again any of the republicans even Ron is better then the Socialist on the Democrat side.

Iggy - do not know what you are saying, the dems have no morals at all!

bjackets - well thats better then the Libs line of blah blah blah Bush's fault blah blah blah!

The support from Robertson is for the greater good, not the perfection, to not unit against Hilary, means that she could win and lead us into the dark ages far worse the Carter tried!

As far as Thompson, he has not become a footnote, but see the Liberal press will not give him the time of day, due to him being very conservative, the press will be cool to Rudy because of it.

I think Thompson is the best choice, for he is strong on Defense, illegal Immigration, and State rights.

Speaking (well, writing) as a Republican, this does nothing to help Mr. Giuliani. Most Republicans I know cringe and roll their eyes (or, in my case, suppress the urge to vomit) when Mr. Robertson or someone of his ilk is on the tube.

This endorsement simply demonstrates what a lot of Republicans have been saying quietly for years: the evangelical "Christian" leaders are more interested in power than in principles. It's sad to see that assertion proven so true today.

Boy, Brett Passmore, you just came across some quotes from Martin Luther and Oliver Cromwell? Guess I'll have to beef up my reading list and wait for another day to post the quotes from Hi & Lois I came across today.

But seriously, folks, we all make compromises when we elect to support certain candidates; it is very unlikely that any candidate will agree with us on all matters. That said, we all have certain issues that are "bedrock" issues. If a candidate disagrees with us on those issues, then we simply cannot support that candidate.

All we have learned from Robertson's supporting Giuliani is that opposition to abortion, opposition to same sex marriage, and serial marriage are not "bedrock" issues (as I have defined it above) for Pat Robertson. For that I say "better late than never" to the former conservative minister.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
And to the Republic for which it stands. one Nation under God,
Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All!

#1 Remove “Under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance? From our Currency?
#2 Remove the Ten Commandments from our federal buildings?
#3 Redefine the definition of marriage?
#4 Support Partial Birth Abortion?
#5 Parent's cannot "correct" a child for fear of reprisal?

Common sense issues, if put to the "People".. will unite all voters. Most will agree, the above topics, do not deserve the "time nor day".

Whether Democrat, Republican, or Independent; This nation is ready.. for any Candidate to run on a platform of "Back To Basics". I will go so far as to "coin" a phrase for any candidate to use: "Give me" more MPV... not MTV! (MPV = Morals, Principals, and Values)

All, of America will have choices to make for candidates in the 2008 elections.

Get involved.....Follow it.. “down the ladder”..... for all the candidates.... and vote... for your agenda.
Please don’t throw your vote away... by staying away, nor giving it away... follow... your.. “heart” and vote!

This simple... "salesman".. says it is not to late for this Great Land!

I'm one of those liberal Christians who can't stand Pat Robertson and his hypocritical greedy sort of theology. I don't think his endorsement of Guiliani will help at all; in fact it may hurt Guiliani in the long run. I think most of us in the real world look at Robertson as a Bible-thumping media freak.

Disunity in the religious right's agenda is - as far as I'm concerned - proof that karma works. They sowed dissension, strife and hatred in trying to impose their moral agenda on the United States and now can't find a candidate willing to continue to screw over the country again. Boohoo for them. It would not break my heart if the entire religious right was disenfranchised for about three times longer than they were in power.

I agree, wonderous are the ways of the devil. I guess we are suppose to live in fear of God, Pat Robertson, and the Islamic terrorists.

Well OF COURSE, he does! Who better to continue the holy war in Iraq, and get all the Jews perfected!

Hi, I'm Rudy Giuliani "blah blah 9/11. blah blah blah blah like 9/11. My experiences blah blah 9/11. My viewpoints 9/11 blah blah blah."

This nation must get back to the very basic's that Jesus stood for and his principal's. We as a nation must do what is good and right and fair. If we call our selves a christian nation we must not be driven just by politics but by what Jesus teaches. If we turn our back's on Jesus teachings in the Bible and do not elect the next president based upon all that I have said, we as a nation will not prosper. No one is perfect, but we can still elect a canidate who stands against abortion,a canidate who will protect our sovernity as a nation and will pass strict immigration laws. They must above all else believe marriage is between one man and one women and be against homosexuality for this is an abomination in God's eyes. The canidate running must fear God and not man.
