The one question is:
Why is it that we presume that an intelligent Christian cannot espouse liberalism in general?
Is there something difficult in that question?

You twisted my question around. I did not say "
we" but I said the following, "
I have far more trouble understanding how intelligent Christian people could espouse liberalism, than Lee and the LC's. I'm serious here. It just boggles my mind how people could become aware of the lies and corruption of the current administration, and still support it. Understanding the folks in the LC is far easier."
This is a public forum. Good place to express personal views. Sorry if you don't like mine. This is why I do.
I grew up in a blue collar working class Cleveland neighborhood called West Park, and all my friends were Kennedy democrats. My first chance to vote was in '72, when I voted for McGovern. Sure I was woefully naive, but his platform of decriminalization made sense to me. Why do we need g'ment controlling our lives?
Then Roe was passed down with the slaughter of the unborn. How could the platform of the Democratic Party promote the well-being of individuals and the downtrodden, and not the totally defenseless? Today, abortion is a pillar of liberalism. Before I was saved, I was active in the pro-life movement.
That caused me to distance myself from the party. Since then, they have continually moved further left. JFK could not recognize his party today. Today's centrist is tomorrow's conservative. Next step socialism. Then comes communism.
Intelligent Christians must consider how liberal policies affect not only the unborn, but all our youth. Liberalism devalues life itself, devalues morality, devalues the family, devalues God and the Bible. The list goes on. That's why I made my comment.
