Christian and Liberal?

There is so much I could write on this, but in the interest of brevity, and since this is the first real post in this blog. Plus, I don't want to scare you away, right off the bat with all of my crazy conservative view points...

Transcribed from an e-conversation I recently had with a fellow patriot and dear friend. The following text concerns itself with the topic of Christians who support Liberal Democrat political candidates:

Conclusions are as follows:

1. Many people align themselves with the left because it appears to be a more modern, progressive way of thinking (according to the mainstream media), but never really develop strong beliefs on platform issues.
2. Many people also align themselves with political stances that will benefit them personally, rather than holding convictions that are in the best interest of the nation. This is done out of a selfish motivation for economic gain and concern about perceived public opinion. A true God-fearing Christian would completely contradict his or her own Biblical beliefs by merely supporting the standard issues on the Liberal Democrat party agenda.

For Example, the three leading Democratic Presidential Candidates have a solid history (and a promising future) of supporting Abortion Rights, Gay Rights, and Federal Health care. Christians of any denomination should oppose these issues completely, regardless of their opinion on any individual candidate.

A. Abortion rights benefit the unwed mother/father, to escape the consequences of immoral behavior. They argue that a woman has a right to make her own decisions when it comes to her own body, and deny the fact that abortion is the murder of a baby.
1. Those who support abortion either live that kind of lifestyle, or want to appeal to those who do (in order to win their support/money/votes). For someone not personally involved in an unwanted pregnancy or that possibility, abortion rights do not benefit them at all, (i.e. they have no vested interest in the issue, other than for voter support.)
2. Those who oppose abortion are trying to re-establish a moral foundation, for the good of the country as a whole (because it is the right thing to do, regardless of public opinion).

B. Gay rights benefit homosexuals only, and serve to facilitate their own personal lifestyle choices and promote their values on the public stage.
1. Those who support gay rights either live that kind of lifestyle, or want to appeal to those who do (in order to win their support/money/votes). For someone not personally involved in that lifestyle, gay rights do not benefit them at all. They could be potentially motivated by a sense of fairness, with the hopes of establishing equal governmental statuses for gay and straight households alike.
2. Those who oppose gay rights are trying to re-establish a moral foundation. They still regard the traditional family as the primary foundation for America and her future generations.

C. Federal Health Care lends itself a little more on the side of "it's good for the country" in the minds of its supporters.
1. Those who support it either don't have health coverage of their own (because they choose not to have it), or they are playing the sympathy card on the lower-income crowd. This serves to create a greater dependency of the "have-nots" upon the "haves".
2. Those who oppose it are mostly responsible people who have steady employment and pay for their own coverage. They believe that, as with any Federal agency, a Government-run Health Care system would be over-stressed and under-caring. Decisions about an individual's health would be left up to federal representatives. Once the system begins to get into trouble, it wouldn't take much time at all for many necessary medical treatments to get classified as "elective" and therefore ineligible for coverage/reimbursement. - Removing the competition of private companies takes away the motivation for improvement.
***Plus, coupled with issues A and B, Federal Health Care could easily enable widespread, taxpayer-funded treatment for unwanted pregnancies and STD-related issues (for gay and straight alike).

Passive, permissive Christians may lean to the left with the mindset of, "I don't approve of that behavior, but it's not right for us to enforce religious morals on other people." However, through the simple act of paying taxes according to Federal Policies designed by Liberals, we are already supporting things like the teaching of Evolution as fact in public schools, the removal of God and prayer from schools, the teaching of secular sex-ed, and the removal of the 10 Commandments and Nativity Scenes from Public grounds...to name a few.
