CARLSON: It goes deeper than that though. The deep truth is that the elites in the Republican Party have pure contempt for the evangelicals who put their party in power. Everybody in… MATTHEWS: How do you know that? How do you know that? CARLSON: Because I know them. Because I grew up with them. Because I live with them. They live on my street. Because I live in Washington, and I know that everybody in our world has contempt for the evangelicals. And the evangelicals know that, and they're beginning to learn that their own leaders sort of look askance at them and don't share their values. MATTHEWS: So this gay marriage issue and other issues related to the gay lifestyle are simply tools to get elected? CARLSON: That's exactly right. It's pandering to the base in the most cynical way, and the base is beginning to figure it out 
Tucker Carlson gets honest about what he says the Republican elites feel about the Extreme Christian Right.

Our President is continuing the fight to change our judiciary for the better and to end the toxic culture causing so many problems over so many year. My prayers to him and all the brave people trying to build a better middle east.
one of your posts mentioned Israel. Israel is not what we're told in many christian circles. Deception is at play regarding Israel. Israel is the great aggressor in terms of violence towards other nations. The people of bethleham where jesus was born are greatly oppressed by the Israelis. The Israelis are not the people of god that you presume. In fact they are a people that systematically reject god. Do an opinion survey in Israel and ask them if they believe in god. an amazingly high percentage will say they do not believe in god. It is not like that in almost any other country around the world. In most countries most people will say they believe in god, but not in Israel. I remember seeing a 'before' and 'after' photo of Rachel Corrie posted here on 4um. She was a young American woman who in 2003 travelled to Israel to protest against some things the Israelis do against the Palestinians. She stood in front of a bulldozer with a megaphone and told the Israelis not to run over someone's house. and then they ran her over before they ran over the house. I saw the photos of her standing before the bulldozer with a megaphone, and then the photo of her after they ran her over. That was cold-blooded murder. they could've easily picked her up and removed her before running over the house. but they chose to kill her. this incident is just one of many many examples of what the Israelis actually do. no real christian can condone this. the Israelis kill many many times as many non-Israelis as non-Israelis kill of Israel. look at the recent war that Israel started. The oppression of the palestinians is constant, it happens every day, they are extremely oppressed. The Israelis are not proceeding in such a manner as to achieve peace. Their tactics are inconsistent with peace. You should look at what the Israelis actually do, not what the tv says. You must do research to see this. Even today the Israelis kill 3-4 Palestinians each day. In many of these cases the Israelis are behaving as brutal murderers. It is very well documented what I say.

Indeed. Where's Sherrie? Did we scare her away?

I really hope not. she sounds honest and sincere. our disagreements with her are so large that she might see us as hostile. but she wasn't really hostile to us. she just has a different view. we'd benefit by her being around. and maybe she might too.
