The other voice of Christianity
Believe it or not, there are actually modern Christians who are truly in favor of peace and social justice (and no, tin foil hats is not a pre-req for membership)

Read a few of their perspective articles. In one, it suggests that it's ok for a pro-life person to vote for the pro-baby killer because the abortion rate was up under Reagan and down during Clinton. They are just another political front.
Rationalize it all you want... killing live babies is wrong.
These are the same group that think Gay marriage is AOK. They can kiss my grits.

Well, that's what they taught me at Catholic school.

According to the Galatians, in the New Testament, the fruits of the spirit are:
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self Control
I will leave it up to each of you to determine if politicians from either side of the aisle exhibit these fruits.
My personal opinion is that we have not seen a US President which exhibited many of these qualities since Jimmy Carter, who was *gasp* a Democrat!

Not that it is particularly relevant to the discussion, but I find it interesing to note that George Bush Sr. was director of the CIA at that point in time.
American foreign policy since WW2 is full of examples such as the above. We have trained and armed dictatorships around the world for a variety of reasons...and now some wonder why there is so much anti-American sentiment in the world.
