Racism characterizes the GOP in Wisconsin. So does a anti science form of anti-intellectualism. The lust for war describes the GOP.

There are no parties that are distinctly Christian.

I know many Republicans in Wisconsin and not one of them is racist or anti-intellectual or lusting for war.

Now, tell us what describes the Dems, since you have no political preference.

I'm sure there are some Christians that are Democrats, but with their push for the gay agenda an abortion and stuff like that, I couldn't do it as a Christian.

And I'm Canadian to boot.

I do not have a favorite party.

My observations about the GOP in WI are focused on lawmakers and the decisions made by the former administration, and the current decisions made by current GOP lawmakers.

What is your definition of "Racism?"

It is an incorrect term used in place of bigotry.

So, does the lust for war comment apply to the GOP in WI, as well?

Lust for war characterizes both parties.

I wasn’t going to post in this thread, but I felt to. In my opinion, we should never base our status on being a Christian, depending how we vote. There are so many variables! For instance, your local government, the Democrat could be the one that has the “goods” to make your area better. Not all Democrats are “liberals”, the liberal agenda is a different horse to talk about for another day. Republicans stand for Homosexuality as well, the whole Iraq war is based on the greed from the deep state, and Bush and Cheney were the pawns that guided the ship. Barrack Hussein Obama was a Muslim with a dividing agenda, his policies brought a lot of this “racism” to the forefront, Hilary Clinton is a complete Jezebel, and Trump is a fornicating lier, married several times, committed adultery... If you choose to vote, Ill say it like Ted Cruz said it, “vote your conscience”.

This is a very complicated issue. I have close friends that I have much respect for, that are pretty liberal. They are liberal for the right reasons.

On the other hand, I am pretty solidly conservative. Both positions can be supported by scripture in certain instances, depending on the subject. For instance...
Capital punishment would be considered a conservative tenet by the majority of people. It is certainly supported by scripture. On the other hand, support for the poor and disadvantaged would be considered by most to be a liberal agenda. It also has much support found in scripture. So it is not the dichotomy that we like to believe it is.

For me however, the division occurs with abortion. I can’t support taking the life of “the least of these”. So I vote accordingly. But I am under no misguided belief that my vote is a perfect expression of my Christian principles. I merely attempt to do the best I can. Until I am offered a better choice.
