2.) He thinks Political Conservatives are Christians
Check this video clip out...
A few quick points:
1. While many Christians may be aligned with Political Conservatism and the Republican party it is intellectually dishonest to say that Republicans are Christians and visa versa - the two are not connected fundamentally.
2. For all who say, "You shouldn't judge others" because the Bible says so...would you READ the Bible just once! Jesus says to the Pharisees religious piety in Matthew 7:1-3:
"Do not judge, so that you won't be judged. 2 For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but don't notice the log in your own eye?
BUT IN THE SAME STINKING CHAPTER HE SAYS:
"Don't give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them with their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces..."Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravaging wolves. You'll recognize them by their fruit. Are grapes gathered from hornbushes or figs from thistles? In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can't produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that doesn't produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So you'll recognize them by their fruit."This command requires us to 'judge' or discern what is right and wrong. Even a 3rd grader could read Matthew Chapter 7 and come to that conclusion!
3.) A true man of the people lives in a resort, but buys a secondary residence in Alabama so he can run for Governor. Hopefully you "Don't Judge me people" can read the sarcasm.
4.) You can be against Abortion and Gay Marriage and it not be an extreme position. It is a normal moral position that CNN and liberals have built a mirage of extremism around.
You guys have any thoughts?
BTW, I have always like Barkley, but not necessarily thought he was right.
