I'd also that the idea of 100% agreement is somewhat silly as you never have that.<br /> <br /> 2) I don't understand why some people are ill-mannered enough to hijack threads for their own agendas. 1) I would say that whether one can be a good Christian and a good liberal, depends on your definition of both things, but that’s in the hands of God.

2) I’m not trying to be venomous, snarky perhaps, but not venomous.

But the truth is that I sincerely do not understand what seems to be the conservative viewpoint that it is noble and patriotic to be zealous in defense of the Second Amendment, but unAmerican to be equally zealous in defense of the Fourth.

Our nation needs healing in a more profound way. In the course of our political debates, we’ve become two nations. One secular, humanistic, and hostile to religious faith outside the four walls of the Church. The other is theistic, or at least tolerant of a religious role in public life. One sees the greatest threat to our nation in the Bush Administration and the PATRIOT ACT, while the other sees the greatest threat in terrorists who seek to kill us.

Two things:

1) It seems a little disingenuous to me to say that one side is “at least tolerant of a religious role in public life,” when so many of the people on that side are only tolerant of their religion, very narrowly defined as those who agree with them 100%, having a role in public life.

2) I thought one of the ideals of being a red-blooded American was being willing to die for your freedom. Isn’t that where “you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hand,” comes from?

Could you make a list for me of the liberties that are worth dying for and the ones that are not?
