RE: No more political propaganda ...clearing the air

Jack Jackson writes:

"The Liberal/Left leaning tilt of many here is apparent in their theology
and not so subtle digs and everything short of cursing's given to
conservative politicians and ministers as an aside posted on some other
topic. Or, as a stand alone topic but with their stature in the group it is
not questioned or disciplined. I speak of the 2 above specifically. I myself
read or look at 25-50% of the postings as it is usually from a small group
who interact mostly with, and agree with each other and/or the topic is not
of interest to me. Others have been brow beaten and eventually leave the
list. Great intellectual discourse. Agree amongst each other and castigate
anyone who disagrees or introduces something new.

"The first comment in red above is characteristic of Liberal academia. When
in doubt or challenged or threatened, scream McCarthyism. Loudly. Ward
Churchill in Colorado has done the same thing. If past posts are brought up
and prove a point a political prejudice then 'well done', I say. Most
Liberals hate to be pinned as such. Most liberals, by the way, lose in the
market place of ideas. In the church, where liberal churches are losing
members VERY quickly (old ones are dying and young don't buy it), to
politics, where destruction inevitably follows see Canada. Or France, the
Socialist paradise.

TTV:

I have nothing against correspondents espousing conservative values; in fact
I support many of those values. What I do object to is the "over the top
comments" by some [US] correspondents who describe an elected member of the
US Senate as ". a genuine mental midget among mental retards in the United
States Senate." This sort of comment reflects poorly on the members of the
US Senate and on the voters who put those members in the Senate.

Jack Jackson confuses, IMHO, liberal values in politics with liberal
Christian values. I consider myself a conservative Christian but, when it
comes to politics, conservative [right wing?] in some matters (opposed to
abortion) and liberal [left wing?] when it comes to the death penalty
(opposed). Jack Jackson then goes on to write about liberals, "to politics,
where destruction inevitably follows see Canada" without citing examples
what type of destruction follows in Canada. I suppose he may mean our
universal health system that allows me to sleep soundly at night, knowing
that, in case of an emergency, I will not be left destitute, and that our
children, if they lose their job, will not automatically lose their health
insurance.

Jack Jackson then continues,

"The second red comment is also typical of Liberals. Paranoia's of some
extreme conservatives is ridiculed but not acknowledged in themselves with
their own McCarthyistic hysterias. Sigh. I think Janice's post add some
sparkle now and again and a different train of thought sometimes to an
otherwise inter-congratulatory, inbreed group that mostly agrees with itself
on most things."

If this is a Christian based group then where is the SCRPITURE? Let's see it
used.

TTV:

Janice's comment on the mental capacity of the US Senators, to me, is
totally devoid of any Christian charity. If this constitutes "some
sparkle," I think we can do without it.

Finally, Jack Jackson writes, "This is supposed to be Science and
Christianity. Not Science and Science with a pinch of theology or archeology
thrown in."

TTV:

And archaeology is *not* science?
