It doesn't. It's just that many liberal positions go against Christian faith, belief, and teaching. Just as many conservative positions go against Christian faith, belief, and teaching. The difference is, the conservative side doesn't attack or wish/seek to change Christianity to fit its sins.

Of course not... because the Republicans have already incorporated Christianity into their political system... you can wrap yourself in a flag or a bible and justify anything with equal effectiveness.

In fact, of the two, Christianity is a useful tool for promoting Republican ideas... not so much the other way around.

"When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." - the person to whom this quote belongs to is unknown, but it has been incorrectly attributed to Sinclair Lewis.

Noting that "Patriot" always comes before "Christian" every day of the week... and twice on Sunday.

Why wouldn't you? Patriotism always, Christianity when patriotism allows it.

Where in the Bible does it say that so-called "conservatism" (many of the leaders who call themselves "conservatives" these days aren't) is next to Godliness?

Doesn't really answer my question, since it makes a lot of unproven assertions about liberals while mostly letting so-called "conservative" Christians off the hook.

Here is a question for you. Where in the Bible does it say that it is a sin to be a liberal?

Right after where it says it's a sin to be a racist.

Hogwash. I lived in the Bible Belt long enough to understand full well how the Right views Christians who are not "Bible-believing" Fundamentalists.

The left still mirrors the same toward those who don't agree, worship or celebrate with their ideas.

I agree. I would like to add how the Right views other Americans who don't show patriotism for America, such as standing up for the National Anthem and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

The radical socialist liberal ideas of turning swords into plowshares and spear into pruning hooks, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and giving money to the lazy poor is completely against what all the real Christians where I live and know believe. God, Guns, and Guts, with a Trump signed bible for good measure.

Turning swords into plowshares through the banning by government, substandard healthcare by socializing it and stifling new breaththroughs, welfare, and punishing the successful in order to give their money to those who are more likely to vote for democrats in the next election is certainly not Christianity is about.
