Article: The GOP Doesn't Own Jesus
Someone may have posted this. It's from a few weeks ago, but I couldn't post till now. A GREAT article.

Here's the link: http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/news/opinion/9581909.htm

Here's some of it:

"It is time for Christian liberals to respond to the efforts of the Republican Party and all its spokespersons to paint -- with as broad a brush stroke as possible -- all liberals as immoral and anti-religious."

...........

"How can you ignore his teachings on the dangers of wealth and the absolute need for compassion to all, whether you think they deserve it or not? How do you claim to get to Republican economic policies from that life and those teachings? Where in the name of God does your self-righteousness come from?"


Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place or anything. I'm new to this, but I had to share this.

1. Looks good, thanks for posting.
I will read more carefully later.

I am always looking for Christian liberal pieces, I email to a bunch of Christians, both pro- and anti- Bush. Give them another perspective an ammo, respectively.
