  No genuine Christian warrior would want the "prayers" of these so-called "libeertarian/Christians..  With the attitudes displayed by their advocates here and on their website...personally, I rather doubt their prayers would be worth a plugged nickel anyway !
  Libertarian/Christian..seems to be a contradiction in terms, with no honest way of reconciling the two !  Libertarians have no problem with many moral issues..prostitution, illicit drugs (sorcery), abortion, various perversions etc.  ...But God does have a problem with those libertarian tenets and many more of them.  In fact, Libertarians in general, seem to have no time for Godly things.
  Elijah put it quite succinctly about 3500 years ago:
********************************* 
    " And Elijah came to all the people, and said, How long halt you between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word."  ( I Kings 18:21)
***********************************************
   
     Libertarians and Biblical Christians are actually worlds apart.there is no way to reconcile the two in an honest manner.
 
 
 
Matthew had it right 2,000 years ago:
 
 *******************************
   " No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.  ( Matthew 6:24)
*************************************************************
 
  Tell that bunch to quit punching themselves in the face..

I pray for those who think that being a Republican and voting for Republicans makes them somehow superior to their brothers in Christ who vote Libertarian.

As a well know Romney advocate yourself how do you reconcile with God voting for someone who has supported abortion and various perversions throughout his political career?

Concerning Romney's "flip-flop" on abortion.
It appears he had an epiphany while governor of Mass. and changed his Libertarian point of view on the matter and decided to go with his conscience instead. Christians love the repentant ones. Thats what it's all about.
 
Q: Why such a dramatic and profound change after pledging never to waiver on a woman’s right to choose?

A: I was always personally opposed to abortion, as I think almost everyone in this nation is. And the question for me was, what is the role of government? And it was quite theoretical and philosophical to consider what the role of government should be in this regard, and I felt that the Supreme Court had spoken and that government shouldn’t be involved and let people make their own decision. That all made a lot of sense to me. Then I became governor and the theoretical became reality. A bill came to my desk which related to the preservation of life. I recognized that I simply could not be part of an effort that would cause the destruction of human life. And I didn’t hide from that change of heart. I recognize it’s a change. Every piece of legislation which came to my desk in the coming years as the governor, I came down on the side of preserving the sanctity of life.

As a well know Romney advocate yourself how do you reconcile with God voting for someone who has supported abortion and various perversions throughout his political career?  I am not so much a Romney advocate, as I am an Obama un-advocate.  I will vote for Romney to prevent or at least forestall the final destruction of our country.  By holding out as long as possible, we may get some type of miracle.  Not much to go no, but somehow, it beats throwing up the hands and surrendering.  I never have believed in a "quick & painless" surrender.

I choose the latter..............

And that is one reason why the political situation in this country has become so destructive. Because we have a third group who have no faith. They view their politics strictly through the political lens. There is no filter on that view. All the crape goes straight through in both directions. That view offers no internal 2nd opinion.

Red tint?
 
Throughout the world either in political context or common usage and the color of choice for Socialist/Communist country flags has been RED.
 
Why is TV(US) using Red as the color of Republican controlled/leaning States and Blue for the Dems??

Since this one has strayed far from the orig.topic, and several of our professional flamers have once again derailed it, I see no reason for it to continue.
