You baught into Dem/liberal politics didn't you?
No. I buy into some of their beliefs on domestic and foreign policy, just as I buy into some beliefs of the republican party on dom/foreign issues. You don't have to commit to one party if you do not believe in EVERY issue that party condones.
I believe we should leave Iraq. Does that make me a Dem?
I believe we should cut welfare drastically. Does that make me a Repub?
I believe abortion should be illegal in most cases. Does that make me a Repub?
I believe torturing men randomly is wrong. Does that make me a dem?
There is NO WAY you are going to knock on heaven's door down the road and tell God you were entirely one party or another. Either you were a dem and supported baby killing, or you were a republican, and supported the torture of children to get their fathers to speak. Either you advocated carpet bombing 5000 to kill 20 (repub), or ... you get the idea.
Take the party stuff out of it. What is right? You're more likely to die from lightning or peanut poisoning than terrorism. Cars are way more dangerous than Al Q. Should we bomb Ford and GM? If you step back and look at some of the policy Bush supports, you cannot defend them. Snow defended mutilating a baby's genitals to get his father to talk cause "he might have good intel". Would jesus condone this? I can't see defending it. I'm a religious man, and I believe not just your actions, but the words you speak to the world which generate support for such actions, play a part in where your soul is going and the memories you have to live with for eternity. Just me, tho.
