3rd party, Radical center, Radical middle, radically hellbound

[Jeb Stuart Thurmond]

True Christians(tm) lead, the world follows. Just yesterday, I mentioned the one of the reasons GOD HATES AMERICA is the desire for more than two political parties - the way Europe does it:

GOD HATES AMERICA because Americans hate the two party system. Don't they know that having more than two political parties is how they do it in EUROPE?!?

Now, less than 24 hours later, the New York Times publishes Thomas Friedman's editorial, in which he says:

"There is a revolution brewing in the country, and it is not just on the right wing but in the radical center"

Radical center? That sounds like "radical middle" - a term espoused by a guy named "Mark Satin". That's right, his name is only two letters away from "Marx Satan". And he has lots of new IDEAS. Page after page of new ideas.

Our problem isn't a lack of new ideas, it isn't that our ideas, systems, worldviews, and institutions are too old - it's that they are not old enough. Every idea we need is in the BIBLE, every system we need has it's regulations laid out in the BIBLE, everything your worldview needs is in the BIBLE. PERIOD.

Fried-man rants on: "...our two-party system is ossified; it lacks integrity and creativity and any sense of courage or high-aspiration in confronting our problems. We simply will not be able to do the things we need to do as a country to move forward“with all the vested interests that have accrued around these two parties,”added Diamond. “They cannot think about the overall public good and the longer term anymore because both parties are trapped in short-term, zero-sum calculations,”where each one’s gains are seen as the other’s losses. - Wah wah wah, cry me a river.

THREE PARTIES IS THREE MORE THAN GOD INTENDED!

Brother, the Bible speaks not of republics or demoncracies. It speaks of a Kingdom, to be ruled by Jesus.

You are right, we need to eliminate this voting nonsense, and establish a Christian theocracy. Once it is established, and we have proven how much we love Him, Jesus will return and take the reins!

"And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." Revelation 19:16

If God really liked democracy, wouldn't that passage read elected official of elected officials?

Please note the two party system was working when? 2003 When Bush was president. The Second Obama got elected in 2004 things started falling apart. The problem isn't a two party system, it is the allowing on non-Republican parties.

Brother, the Bible speaks not of republics or demoncracies. It speaks of a Kingdom, to be ruled by Jesus.

Just imagine, if the mob-rulers were right, the Bible would have passages like "On the first day, God read the polling data, and passed a non-binding resolution that there be light (pending approval by congress)..."

Oh, and Jeb, speak for yourself, I've always voted third party. See my sig.

It seems that these "radical center" types consider Ben Franklin to be their saint. Some info on Ben:

Franklin rejected much of the Puritan ideas regarding belief in salvation, hell, Jesus Christ’s divinity, and indeed most religious dogma....

Thus it's no surprise that he's a pedophile:

At the age of 17, Franklin proposed to 15-year-old Deborah Read

As for his sexcapades in Paris when he was ambassador to France, these are infamous. One of the reaons he liked older women was:

4. Because thro’ more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your Reputation

Translation: "I know how to screw around without being caught."

He had an illigitimate son who grew up to be a traitor:

In 1730, at the age of 24, Franklin publicly acknowledged an illegitimate son named William[citation needed], who would eventually become the last Loyalist governor of New Jersey.

And of course a FreeMason!

In 1731, Franklin was initiated into the local Masonic Lodge. He became Grand Master in 1734, indicating his rapid rise to prominence in Pennsylvania.[10][11] That same year, he edited and published the first Masonic book in the Americas, a reprint of James Anderson's Constitutions of the Free-Masons. Franklin remained a Freemason for the rest of his life

Hmm, a third option that isn't left or right....Where have I heard that before?

Oh, I remember now. Last time around they called it FASCISM.
