Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

I do not know how Pat is so fascinated with Mark Sanford.
What Sanford did was wrong but there was no cigar involved, he did not lie under oath and there was no page involved. Not even mention of a male escort service being run out of his basement. What? He used his own funds to go to Argentina? Sanford should have moved on from his wife prior to moving onto Miss Argentina.
There are always two sides to the story. Who knows what was going on between Sanford and his wife along with their home life. I do not condone his actions but we are all human.
Coming from Pat who can not keep a woman, I am sure he is clueless. If Pat wants to bring up the sacrament of marriage? Maybe he ought to look into his open support of abortion as a form of birth control. Talk about a hypocrite.

Spare us the sanctimony, Richard. Your brand of Christianity is just one among thousands, and they don’t all embrace the same views on matters of faith and morals. For instance, there are millions of devout Christians who take the pro-choice view regarding abortion.
As for what you call “the sacrament of marriage,” that’s your label, not mine. I think of marriage as an institution in which couples are joined in a kind of social and legal dependence. Some people enter this institution through religious ceremonies, and some don’t. Vive le difference.
And as for my posts about Mark Sanford, nobody’s forcing you to read them.

Well Pat here is a fact for you. You can’t be pro-choice to commit a murder (yes I fill in the rest of the line that libs leave off ) and be a Christian period. Yup , there are millions of so-called Christians that CLAIM they are , but alas it’s in name only. And those same millions are gonna be burning in hell when they die unless they renounce abortion. That’s just the way it is, and ya know why, cause CHRIST SAID SO.
You see there are these tablets about 4000 years old that are still relevant and a lot wiser than you arrogant libs. They’re called the 10 COMMANDMENTS. Not SUGGESTIONS. The 5th commandment says Thou shall not KILL. It aint rocket science.
As far as marriage, it’s every Christian’s label otherwise without the Sacrement it’s a form of adultery, which again goes to the 6th commandment. But I’m sure the “christians” who have no problem with abortion also have no problem with adultery.
It does’nt matter what YOU or anyone else believes Pat. The commandments are from God and if you twist them there will be consequences.
You know for such an old geezer you are pretty cocky……gonna kick off pretty soon. Might want to do some refresher courses on spirituality and God. Try looking up the Visions of St. John Bosco. It gives you a frank meaning of the Wrath of God. If you don’t want to bother with that then I suggest you start some training, a little running then sprints. Because there will come a moment for all of us where we get to heaven or SPRINT downhill faster than Carl Lewis.

Any “Christian” that claims to be “pro-life” had better ALSO be against the death penalty…
