Who am I kidding? Of Course you know who threatens Judeo-Christians values and surprise, surprise, it’s not the Mormon heretic. It’s the Christian. And one of the reasons those vaunted ideals are under fire from Obama is because of healthcare:
NBC— Paul Ryan gave a firm warning to a group of evangelical Christians Sunday night: President Barack Obama’s policies jeopardize Judeo-Christian values.
“And in these critical battleground states, it’s going to make the big difference as to whether or not people are worried about where America’s headed, worried about whether we’re going to reassert our Constitution, or whether or not we’re going to go down the path the president has put us on,” Ryan said speaking on a Faith and Freedom Coalition tele-townhall with thousands of voters across the country. He continued, “It’s a dangerous path, it’s a path that grows government, restricts freedom and liberty, and compromises those values, those Judeo-Christian, western-civilization values that made us such a great and exceptional nation in the first place.”
A Ryan campaign spokesman told NBC News about Ryan’s comments: “He was talking about issues like religious liberty and ObamaCare – topics he has mentioned frequently during the campaign.”
The American Taliban’s ability to twist the meaning of words is truly a sight to behold. Giving women the option of coverage for lady parts is tyranny, allowing their bosses to deprive them of that option is freedom. You may take our lives, but you will never take our freeeedom!
as always, the Christians being totally unable to agree on a set of “values”.
This reads to me like a zenophobic racially-loaded dog whistle: “and compromises those values, those Judeo-Christian, western-civilization values that made us such a great and exceptional nation in the first place”
You mean those values handed down unerringly from god?
I remember how Jesus ranted against ObamaCare during his sermon on the mount.
47 Except if they were behind in their insurance co-pays…in which case, fuck ’em.
Even if Obama publicly endorsed all the right wing christian nut job dominionist preachers they still couldn’t abide him being the president because:
Well he’s got muzzlum daddy, a funny name and most of all he’s a nayger. And that just ain’t right! No sir! …just ain’t right. Ma bring me a beer…
Guess who threatens Judeo-Christian values?
The same people who threaten property values. Them black folks what wants to move next door.
If Paul Ryan was to look at Israel and the ‘large’ government health care sceheme there, presumably he would condemn that state for infringing Judeo values – Christian values are excluded by definition I suppose.

Atheists?
Feminists?

A majority of American voters who decide against Mittens Rmoney and the Teabags? (Much prefer the leaf and beers myself! ;-) )
