Does Your Faith Match Your Politics?

[chaotic_resolve]

I'm interested in how religion and politics relate . . .

Please post one each of the following.

Are you:

(Spiritually)
1a. NeoConservative
2a. Conservative
3a. Moderate
4a. Liberal

(Politically)
1b. Republican
2b. Independent
3b. Democrat
4b. Green Party
5b. Anarchist

(Fiscally)
1c. Conservative
2c. Liberal
3c. Socialist
4c. Communist

(Morally)
1d. Conservative
2d. Moderate
3d. Liberal

3a;1b;1c;1d

I know what a political Neo-Con is but I have no clue what a Spiritual Neo-Con would be?

3a - Moderate
2b - Independent

I relate a Spiritual Neo-Con to a person who preaches death and hell against anyone who doesn't believe what they believe; who won't fellowship with another spirit-filled saint if they don't hold the same dress code; and who goes above and beyond what's normal in terms of conservative standards. ie dress shirt colors, sleeve lengths, etc.

Ahhh, I see. I think most folk here would equate that to Ultra-Con. or super-ultracon.

I vote Republican, but I don't claim most of the current Republicans in Congress. They're a bunch of spenders who are ~not~ Reagan Republicans. And I have some issues with President Bush. Immigration. Big Government. Spending. Executive Powers.

I'd love for Ron Paul to win the '08 elections . . . but that's just a dream. The current Republican Presidential "contenders" aren't very exciting.

Guiliani is too morally liberal;
Romney is too tied with polls and flip-flops positions too much;
McCain, well I live in his home state and I don't vote for him . . . he's a RINO;
Huckabee, bleh - the last time we elected a guy from Hope, AR things headed south;
Thompson, I really like this guy, but I've heard he's not as conservative as I had thought and heard (I had heard he voted more conservatively than several prominent conservative republicans);
Tancredo, won't make it past the first couple rounds - perceived as a bigot and racist towards immigrants (though he and I share some views on immigration)

I think '08 is the Dems best chance to take back the WH.
