What causes conflict between Christian Conservative Republicans and libertarians?

[ghemminger]

Admin note: thread was originally titled: WHy do Christian Conservative Republicans Hate US so MUCH?!?



Always wondered about this. We are for the abolishment of the income tax and constitutional principles. I wonder where such DEEP hate come from???

I was a NeoCon at one time and NEVER hated Libertarians... never really thought of them at all

Christian Conservatives don't "hate" us. I believe they can actually be quite easily convinced if we used the proper rhetoric.

Because legislation of universal morality and the protection of Israel requires a frigging huge government

We show them the flaws in their ideas, and they don't like it.

They bought the war in Iraq.
As the local ones have told me... its God's war... and we are there for a reason. (supposedly biblical)

YEah this could be it... It's like there is a built in HATRED to right wing politic towards democratic "Liberals" and that we are in the "crossfire"?

They HATE "liberals" even more

Maybe you didn't get the memo. You are suppose to be for the government intrusion into our homes, bedrooms, and social behaviors.

 

[muzzled dogg]

because we dont propose to enforce their god's will on others

 

[Paulitical Correctness]

Because libertarians crucified Jesus and have harlot wives.

the thread should be "why do so many...." as absolutes are ALWAYS stupid.

nothing to fear but....fear itself?

one thing is that they fear losing control, another is that they fear that the party will be tipped away from being pro-life.


this is coming from a conservative Christian.

life and liberty go hand in hand.

you have libertarians confused with joos and Romans. Silly goose.

Scholars say that historical documents show Judas leaning toward libertarianism as well.

Evangelicals, for the most part, believe in a novel theology called 'dispensationalism'. I won't bore you with describing it, suffice to say thier entire world view and philosophy has its foundation on it. It affects how they view the world (they will defend Israel no matter what she does), and the future (they will be 'raptured' out of the world while God tortures humanity for seven years). As you can imagine, this does not leave them optimistic about the future of the world. As a result they care little for it and retreat into thier manmade castles awaiting 'rapture'.
It makes them completely useless in working toward a better world.

A lot of it has to do with Israel.

Other than that, have you checked out many of the threads on just RPFs are Christian-bashing? There is so much Christian-bashing on here, why WOULD they take the time to listen to much of anything we had to say? You guys who are doing that over and over again, aren't helping this movement one little bit.

Remember this?

This, at least, doesn't seem to have changed much at all. Put another way, we haven't learned much from our mistakes.

I t Wierd... CHristianity is a foundation of my life but I find so may CCR's filled with so much hatred they really don't resemble anything "Christian" at all.

This is an unconquerable divide. We need to just try and carve out a third party force... It's the ONLY way

Would it have anything to do with what the more vocal "christians" are doing?

And their in-depth conversation with god:
Pat Robertson: God says US will accept socialism: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=85243

Or the many Jimmy Swagarts of the world?
Or the Reps. who are hard core drug warriors, anti-gay warriors... and just generally intolerant of anyone who doesn't fit their bastardized bread of chrisitianity?

If there is hate... then there is a reason...
Instead of getting mad at the hate.. why don't you start looking at the reasons.
