To anyone who is still using the phrase "our friends on the Left," knock it off. It has no place in the current cultural climate.
Ask New York Governor Cuomo, who says those who oppose the extermination of fetal Americans have no place in his state.
Ask Maria Conchita Alonso, who was let go from her latest acting gig for endorsing Tea Party California gubernatorial candidate Tim Donnelly.

They will not tolerate us. They are our enemies.
Your enemies? Then He said you must love them and forgive them.

ReplyDeleteBlessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

No problem with the above, but nothing in it precludes pointing out what our enemies are up to and the impact it's making on our culture.
