Do any of y'all see what's happening here? Calling "Operation Chaos" honorable has failed, so now the subject has deliberately been changed to the "Democrat" party (whatever that is) and what it does and doesn't call perversion.
Don't let yourself be distracted you from the issue. It's a transparent tactic.

Right! Doesn't the Bible say that Jesus once said: "Not everyone who speaks my name is necessarily going to heaven" (paraphrased)? Claiming that one's political opponents are "unamerican" and/or "unchristian", as well as failing to obey valid law, doesn't seem to Christian in my book....

"I have often found that the least moral among us are those who claim to be the most moral among us" - Ringo84Do you ever wonder what the pharisees of Jesus' day felt like when they were looking down their noses at the sinners (prostitutes, immoral folks)? I do. I think they felt smug and righteous. Like they were doing right and all else who didn't think like them were doing wrong. I wonder what the Pharisees thought when a preacher from Nazareth was seen eating with sinners while holding contempt for THEM? They had to be incredulous. And when this preacher really lashed out, it was not at the supposed sinners of the day, but at those that "corporatized the temple", people who mingled business with religion, they had to believe he was off his rocker.
Finally, I wonder how present day "pharisees" see themselves. Probably the same way as the old ones did. Smug and self righteous. I wonder how Jesus would react to them today.

. . . Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is encouraging stalwart Republicans to do the unthinkable and vote for Hillary Clinton in their states primary to prolong the bitter battle between her and Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination . . .
(Laura) Ingraham later took up Limbaughs cause and has told her listeners to vote for Clinton in their primaries as well . . .
After voter registration for the closed April 22 Pennsylvania primary ended Monday, the Pennsylvania State Department reported record numbers of voters had switched their party affiliation to Democrat.
36,738 Pennsylvanians re-registered as Democrats . . .

The problem Jesus had with the Pharisees was that they claimed a righteousness while substituting their traditions for the Law of God. In our present day, while God claims homosexuality is a perversion, the American tradition is evolving to say that homosexuality is OK, normal, morally equivalent to heterosexuality. Sound familiar? Sound Pharisaical?Do you ever wonder what the pharisees of Jesus' day felt like when they were looking down their noses at the sinners (prostitutes, immoral folks)? I do.

Isn't our liberal friends here who claim the moral high ground of wanting to help the poor (by making somebody else pay for it), promoting the "good" of abortion and the moral equivalence of homosexuality?"I have often found that the least moral among us are those who claim to be the most moral among us" - Ringo84

Trying to distract from the issue at hand, I see.I've noticed that there are certain of our liberal friends here that don't want to claim responsibility for anything bad that liberals do.

It seems to be our liberal friends (some of them anyway) in this thread who are finding a speck in the eyes of others and claiming the moral high ground, accusing conservatives of sinfulness for switching parties.The pharisees problem was that they valued the letter of the law over the spirit of the law. They found the speck in their brother's eye while missing the plank in their own. And what is the spirit of the law? To love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself. The spirit of the law is about love.
The modern day pharisees sees himself as righteous and his quick to point out where others are wrong in the eyes of God. But he speaks without love and is missing the spirit of the law. He is a noisy gong, a clanging cymble..

Why should anybody here claim responsibility for the actions of another, good or bad, liberal or conservative?
I think calling it honorable failed when they called it Operation Chaos.
Operation Chaos!?
The only way it could sound more evil was if it was Operation Total Chaos or Operation Khaos.
