Fundamentalists are what many 'conservative' right wingers are called. I take this to mean they have a belief in the fundamental teachings of the WORD OF GOD. At least this is what I have been led to believe by all the 'talk, talk talk from the political world in my news life. Some of their major 'beliefs' are PRO life, cut back Medicaid and charity spending- make it harder for people to be on the 'take' from my paycheck...Perform Justice, for Justice is the AMERICAN way!! If you took a life, then you must be put to death... the old 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' from the Pentateuch when the Word began to be written.
Then, Leftists and Liberals are what democrats or 'the poor' are called. I say, 'the poor' for that is what conservative and generally well-to-do citizens feel that 'democrats' are... the minorities, the underdog, the poor, those who do not live to TAKE ADVANTAGE... many who really FOLLOW Christ. But the PRO CHOICE people are among this group and the whole POT has been polluted by this murder.
I do not consider myself a right wing Republican. I feel charitable toward people in need, and I have found it hard in my life to make MONEY at the expense of others. I do believe in work. Hard work and I am good at it. I taught my children to work and am also instructing my Grandsons. But I do not believe women who become impregnated with a child should run to a facility or doctor and have it removed. And they should not be taught to do so. That being said... I also have been privy to ones who see abortion as the ONLY answer in their life. I also cannot see girls locked up in PRISONS because they decided they could not have a life if they had to endure an unwanted pregnancy. So I DO see the horror that this issue puts before us. However, I do not believe that democratic people should be defined by it.
Today Our president spoke of closing 'GITMO' because it does not represent the values and the spirit of the American people, through the generations. Just after he spoke, a Republican office holder came on and in the course of disputing the president, he commented, 'let our political enemies be take to Guantanamo and we will get out of them, everything they know'... leading the world to believe that it is AMERICAN STANDARD now, to threaten, to torture, to bully and to not follow Christ. Seems the merciful democrat is standing on the Word... "do not render evil for evil", while the posing fundamentalists are now the Herods of the world. Hmmmm? Or am I wrong? Too strong a subject?
