I really don't see this fanatical thing you speak of. What I do see is a willingness on your part to put people who disagree with you beneath you. Why do I experience your posts that way? Is it me, is it you? I don't feel beneath or above you but I experience a sort of condescension from you as if you think yourself better than everyone else.

Hey, I am a Christian but, for the first time ever, I cannot vote simply because my old standards -- vote for the lesser of two evils -- doesn't work. It's evil against evil. Now what?
I don't hate either. I hate how low our country has sunk to pick these two. Bot of them terrify me in ways like Obama does. They preach selective hate.

Yes, they can. I live in Philadelphia where the politician and labor unions are all Democrats. They built a stage when Sandra Day O'Connor visited. Falling beam misses Justice O'Connor - UPI.com

In all fairness they are equal opportunity stealers. They steal from us poor too. Right now our politicians are fighting over a "soda tax." The two choices (because simply not taking more money for useless ventures never seem to cross their minds as a choice) are:
1. 3% of sugar drinks.
2. 1% on all drinks.
This is the 21st century, where diet drinks taste just as good as sugar drinks, so who is drinking the sugar drinks? The poor who never chance changing what works for them. What both sides seem to fail to grasp, (because the beverage industry is the other side, of course), is we know they're choosing based on who will and who won't leave the city limits to get their non-alcoholic drinks. The poor can't afford to leave the city, but the rich can, but won't because "it's only 1%."
This is the reality of how much people care about others -- what's in it for them.

For the record, as someone stuck being supported by the government, it is NOT free! I spent 24 years of my life paying into the programs. My husband spent 38 years -- including two of those years as a sailor -- into those programs. I admit, by now I have taken more than I have given.
BUT this is strictly because Christians have NOT taken care of the poor and disabled, so someone has to do it. So, if you're going to blame someone, blame self first! This argument really means, "I'd rather someone else deal with the messiness instead of me, so I'll give as little as I can get away with to sooth my conscious for not giving even 10%."
And, if you think that's not accurate, I got news for you. Had Americans taken up their duty to help others, then the government could survive on just 10% too.
I was fortunate. I was able to work for so long. I know people who were born disabled and stuck on the measly money the government doles out just to survive with no hope of anything better in life.

I did.
A. He IS conservative.
B. He may have been tainted, but he wasn't evil.
He put his money where his mouth was. He really did visit the sick, feed the hungry, and clothe the poor even when he was the governor. He may not be a Christian, but he does what we should be doing better than most Christians I know, including me.
I visit the sick, because he's my hubby. Romney visited the sick because that's what his beliefs said he should do.
His actions proved he was the man for the job, yet skin color and lies won the other guy the job.

Seems like? Seriously? Does that mean you simply didn't vote last time or that you didn't do the homework to vote? It was four years ago. Surely there should be knowledge on who he is, not "seems like."
Yes, he was too left for me, and yet he was the type of man I want in the White House because he had something needed in the oval office -- integrity!
If religion has to do with your vote, then, obvious question -- why Trump? Romney may have a funky religion, but it still beats Donald's.
