1. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and savior of man.                                                              

R. What about Noah, Mohammed, Abraham and Billy Graham?

2. All life, from conception until death, is sacred and the right to life is paramount.

R. How odd, you are denying our right to life by providing rapid-fire weapons to young men who murder school children and worshipers.   

3. These United States of America were founded by Christian men upon Christian tenets. Freedom of religion is not an excuse to divorce the American culture from its origins. We will defend our rights as Christians in all aspects of American life.                             

R. Not true, the people writing the constitution were influenced by Deism. Keep your religion out of our bedrooms, bathrooms, doctors’ offices and schools.

4. Marriage is an institution sanctioned by God between one man and one woman.

R. I couldn’t find this in the Bible. Is someone rewriting the Good Book?

5 There are two genders and all attempts to claim otherwise are an attempt to further pervert the glory of the creation.

R. You are interfering in our family lives, forcing your values on us and denying liberties. What about #6 below? 

6. The family is the cornerstone of western civilization and should be protected from government intrusion and manipulation.

R. You encourage government control of family liberties to have abortions, contraception and family planning. 

7. Every American has the right to practical self-defense and the right to bear arms is as important as any of our other liberties.

R. OK, but the right to slaughter school children and worshipers? See #2. 

8. Capitalism is the best system for social development and Christian charity the world has ever known. It must be preserved and promoted as the solution to the social and economic problems caused by Communism. 

R. Multinational companies have a spotty track record of taking money from the government, pay no taxes and have no record of helping charities.   

9. Strong borders are a necessity for a safe and prosperous society.

R. Damn right. But building a wall across the West Coast, Southern border, East Coast and Canada will break the budget. Aren’t we short on labor right now?    

10. Islam is a heretical perversion of the Judeo-Christian doctrine and must be recognized and treated as a threat to America and Western Civilization as a whole.

R. I checked out the six principles of Islam. They don’t sound threatening to me. I find threatening far right groups. It is my prayer that we learn from George Orwell’s book “Animal Farm” and reject the extremism of groups like the Taliban and Christian Nationalists. Let’s reverse trends toward a dictatorship run by a pig named Napoleon.
