PPS -- Again with the personal swipes. The suggestion that I consider a career in academics ("English Professor", I'll take that as a compliment), questioning my motivations for wanting to be an Marine Officer, etc. You can dish it out but can't take it. Poor rationalizations refuted by insults. In the future, I'd suggest you take shots at my personal appearance for a change. I'm really look quite hideous if you ever meet me.
Saying that you should consider going into another career is not an insult, nor was it intended to be. Anyone who attempts to degrade another person by recommending that they enter a good paying profession which will earn them respect for their intellect should best stay out of the insult game altogether.
However, From what I have gathered from your posts you seem far more willing to defend your own personal politics than your country.
I do understand that this forum is mainly filled with conservatives, which puts you on the defensive end sooner than you most likely would be in other circumstances.
At any rate- you have made your politics very clear to everyone-In response to Jesus's politics though-
Jesus WAS Jewish as you said.
Today, many Jews are Democrats, as you also said. However, also, Jews today also disavow the belief that Jesus was the son of God.
That being said, would Jesus be a Jew if he were alive today? I would vote no- that he would be a Christian.
Most carpenters I know are Republican.
All Christian carpenters I know are Republican.
You are also defending your own personal politics...or is ranting on a forum your form of defense of country. Are you questioning KImphil's loyalty to the U.S.? If so speak up and say it. For your sake. I hope you don't go questioning other Marine's and Sailor's loyalty when they differ from your views.
If Jesus were alive today would he be a carpenter? Would he pick political sides? Would he participate in (both sides) political party corruption? Would he support war? You do not know the answer to any of these questions... Stop using the Jesus card to try to make your arguement sound better. That is rather reckless. quit the "Appeal to Higher Authority aarguement. and stop being so sanctimonious
