Four more years of vitriol and hate

Based on what I'm seeing this morning on my facebook page. Seems my Christian friends are on a roll this morning. I've had two "sermons" preached about Obama being the Anti-Christ already and I haven't even finished my coffee. And all of the lies about the economy in free-fall, guns being taken away, blah blah blah are being parroted again this morning. Oh, and apparently I'm an idiot.

I'm trying to compose a rational response that points out that they wanted to elect a blatant liar and tax cheat with no moral compass; they continue to judge, name-call and actively disparage not only President Obama, but his family and all of their supporters - hypocrites!

But I'm wasting my time - all I really want to say to them all is "neener, neener, neener!" LOL!

that's always been my plan, to say that it was obviously God's will that Obama won two terms - haven't had quite the right opportunity to use it yet.....

is it wrong to enjoy seeing them sputter and spit?

...making Obama a 1-term president.

Of course, Obama could simply have run again in 2016...

If they don't support it, then they don't support GOD.

and, by the way, the Christian won.

and even to pray for them. Remind them of that. Remind them...blessed are the poor. Yet they want to give tax breaks to rich by taking away benefits from the poor. Blessed are the peacemakers. Yet despite the fact that our military budget is bigger than all other major nations combined they wanted to increase that budget by taking away from the poor.

Remind them " And you are to love those who are your aliens for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt." Leviticus 10:13

Romney the vulture capitalist buying up companies, loading them with debt, selling them off; working for the heartless and greedy, striving only for profit. What is honorable about that?

Obama the college professor and community organizer; teaching others, trying to help others. What is so greedy and awful about that?

...I will never understand how so called "Christians" can support the party of selfishness and greed; essentially the money changers party.

I want to know, seriously, how they KNOW that God is on their side after their 40 days of prayer for Romney, and Obama still won.

To me...His will is pretty clear this morning.

I do believe, seriously, that we as Christians, need to do a better job of exposing the hypocracy. Not all Christians are right wing extremists. Some of us really do believe we are here to help one another.
