Give 'Em Heck, Harry!
Harry Reid gave a speech yesterday at BYU, telling BYU students that Mormon values are really Democratic values. As one student put it:
"I don't think you can call yourself a true Christian without caring for the poor."
I don't understand how Christianity went from taking care of each other and the planet to burning burning gays and feminists in effigy. Jesus never once mentions gays, but he does talk a lot about helping the poor and loving little creatures.
In many ways, I wonder how you can be a good Christian and vote Republican these days, and yet Democrats are left defending their religious beliefs as if Jesus only cared about tax cuts and antigay initiatives. When did Jesus become a Supply-Sider?

To a great extent, you're right. Republicans have lost their core values by listening to the putresence of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. They have tried to redefine what it means to be a Christian, but they are wrong.
I really enjoyed Senator Reid's speech, but I must admit that I disagree with him on certain issues, such as the best way to take care of the poor. Government is not the solution in my opinion, but liberals seem to be much more genuinely concerned about the plight of the poor than conservative Republicans are.
