Christianity Today speaks and this Jew listens

Hating Hillary

Getting to the bottom of a cultural trend that has seeped into the church.

(quote from the conclusion of the article)

But when vigorous political discourse turns into bashing of public figures, it perpetuates a great lie: that they are merely the ideologies and symbols attached to them. When a candidate's ideology is mistaken for his or her personhood, it masks a crucial truth: that each person, no matter their political views, bears God's image and matters deeply to him.

While pundits see candidates as punching bags, evangelicals are supposed to see candidates as, well, people. As we ponder how candidates are "fearfully and wonderfully made," we may haltingly come to realize that the most bold and courageous thing we each could do this election season, no matter who we vote for, is this: Love Hillary.

THIS is why I love Obama

"If you want to work in the Obama White House, you will not be able to work for an agency that regulates a company that you used to work for or used to lobby for AND you will not be able to leave my White House and then go lobby my administration for folks you used to regulate. We're going to close that revolving door."

"You guys have to be involved. You have to be paying attention and my job is to open up the doors of government so you can actually know what's going on.

"I already passed a law...where you can go on a searchable database...and find every dollar of federal spending and where it's going..."

"Sunshine is the best disinfectant."

What's the REAL difference between Obama & Clinton?

Obama blasts Clinton on Lobbyists and how they've corrupted the system.

"Last year in the United States Senate I passed the toughest ethics reform legislation since Watergate, so that lobbyists couldn't give meals and gifts and could not lend corporate jets to members of Congress. And so that lobbyists would have to disclose the bundling they're doing for members of Congress. And, again, Democrats and Republicans resisted, but it was the right thing to do and we got it done."

The Ohio primary doesn't pick our Presidents

Just a lil reality check

A few other Democrats went on to win the presidency after they lost the Ohio primary.

JFK, for instance.
oh, and a guy we like to call FDR.
as well as Woodrow Wilson.

So, I'd say we're in pretty good company, wouldn't you?

Hillary Clinton’s new “scary” ad

Bill Clinton talking about hope vs. fear
