They are not talking about racism, sexism, or humane treatment of strangers (immigration). Matt Lewis is a Christian and a Conservative who finds it difficult to find a true Christian message in the GOP, especially in the age of Trump. Lewis cannot change parties despite his religious misgivings because he says:</p> <blockquote> <p>As someone who believes protection of the vulnerable extends to the lives of the unborn, switching teams is not an option for me.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/im-a-christian-and-a-conservative-trump-is-making-it-terribly-hard-to-be-both?ref=author">https://www.thedailybeast.com/im-a-christian-and-a-conservative-trump-is-making-it-terribly-hard-to-be-both?ref=author</a></p> <p>Lewis sees the unborn as needing protection but he is silent when it comes to racism and bigotry. This is the mindset of the Christian Conservative.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div></div></div> Wed, 26 Dec 2018 05:19:21 +0000 rmrd0000 comment 263101 at http://dagblog.com
