For a thinking person (someone who who uses logic to separate truth from error and remain internally consistent) christianity is wholly incompatible with the current democratic agenda. Unfortunately, there are many individuals who call themselves "christian" and what they really mean is that either: A) They were raised going to a building called a "church" one day out of the week and perform some cerominial behaviors for a few hours, or B)They have warm feelings toward and receive emotional satisfaction from reading the Bible and talking christianese. Unforutnately, both these groups have put no thought, none what-so-ever into how the teachings of the christian church ought to affect their bahvior.
Currently, I believe that the Obama administration is trying to "re-define" what it means to be a christian. Obama call himself a "christian" yet champions abortion (violation of the 6th commandment-Do Not Murder), gay (special) rights (Violation of the Genesis 2 procalmation of the purpose of marriage), advocates taking from the rich and giving to the poor (Violating the eight commandment regarding stealing from others), advocates and stokes the flames of envy to fuel class warfare (Violating the tenth commandment which instructs to Not covet your neighbor's possesions). To the democrats everything is policitical. Of course. when you catch them being hypocritical they will cry "foul" and invoke "personal privacy", but those protests are meant simply as a smoke screen to distract, change, and re-frame the argument.
What thinking christains should remember is that the guidelines that God has provided are not given because God wants to "boss you around", but because he knows how humanity can best avoid the evils of this world and acheieve happiness this side of eternity. He should know, he made us. He made those who don't like Him or even acknowledge Him. That doesn't change the reality of what He has said. Christians know, and we should stop voting for people who reject the bedrock of christian beliefs.
