Those conservative Christians who flock to the Republican party do so often because of their belief that “Every Life is Valuable”. Both are against abortion and euthanasia because life is precious, or though they say. With a philosophy that every zygote must be born and every dying person must endure to the bitter end, one would think they would be the ones who are marching in the streets to support medicare, medicaid, assisted housing, and all other forms of the social safety net. Yet, they seem to enjoy seeing suffering because from 30 seconds after the birth they totally forget about those precious lives until they are lying in a bed racked with pain hoping for death to get a little relief, then once again they step in and tell us once again how precious life is. Those years in between those same precious lives are a drag on the economy and they don’t give a care what happens. They feel if they don’t make a sufficient income to pay for food, housing, and health insurance all while saving for retirement which should be enough to cover the possible long term illness toward the end of life, they have made bad choices and they deserve what they get.
To me, this is insane! Would it not make more sense for those conservative Christians who feel life is a gift of “god” demand that those precious lives have a minimum standard of living, including good housing, food to eat, health care and the other necessities of life? Shouldn’t they pull the bible off the shelf and read some of those words in red? It seems Christ had a word for those, Hypocrites!
Before those of you who are Christian reply with "not every Christian is that way", I realize not every Christian who votes Republican feels this way, but I know many who can forgive all other evils as long as they are voting for candidates who are pro-life. May be it is time for them to form the Christian party who really supports life, the beginning, end and that big chuck in the middle.
