In passing: Politically God is on the far right, and Jesus on the far left ... and they get along just fine. And so should we. Something far greater than politics connects us.

Then we have to define "left" and "right."
What do these terms mean to you?
I grew up in blue collar Cleveland, which was strongly Democratic. I was a Kennedy Democrat, "
ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," who got abandoned by "leftist extremists in the party." One particular cause that affected me was when all the abortion clinics came to town. I led a huge parade through town with a coffin on the roof with baby body parts hanging out just to draw attention to this atrocity. Yet today even "liberal" Christians care little for life, saying "a woman has rights" and we don't need any more "unwanted babies."
My personal conviction is that all personal rights end when someone else gets hurt.
