The senator goes into tearing down government, and having everyone fight their own war. Let the winners rise to the top and don't protect the weak. Have a system where everyone fights for themselves and is free to take what they want, because they win it in battle. You see this discussion come up in various forms, like in this thread against egalitarianism on here: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=158690&page=1# There are individuals who believe this is what Christians do and hold, and also other individuals who end up claiming to be Christian who speak of this in varying degrees. The whole 47% thing ties into it also. Pretty much the idea that people who aren't doing well are there by their fault. They are losers who the system keeps propping up and supporting. The senator wants the system torn down so these people can be washed away and the strong rise. You have Mitt Romney, for example, who you would ask if he said he was a Christian or not, and he would say yes, and he made that 47% comment. Actually, the 47% comment was the flip side of the "We are the 53%" retort to the Occupy "We are the 99% chant". The guy behind the 53% idea, Erick Erickson, professes to be a Christian: http://www.redstate.com/2012/11/20/i-believe-and-am-thankful/ |
You're really getting things jumbled up. That's not what Christian Republicans think. Christians are all for helping out others while Republicans are for smaller government in this sense. You're an atheist Democrat, correct?
