Political Combinations...Democrat...Republican...The Worst...The Christian

Among the two major political parties, Democrat and Republican, there seems to be a general rule as follows:

REAL Democrats are fiscally and socially liberal...REAL Republicans are fiscally and socially conservative.

Moderate or independent voters tend to be in some kind of middle...Fiscally liberal and socially conservative or fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

From where I stand, I believe the WORST combination is not fully Democrat or fully Republican, but the Moderate: fiscally conservative/socially liberal.

Why? This seems to lead to the greatest oppression. The rich, fiscally conservative, tend to oppress the poor, as the Bible says. I've got money, why don't you. Likewise, the socially liberal tend to allow individuals to destroy themselves all in the name of freedom. Put them together and you get Marie Antoinette's, "Let them eat cake!"

I believe the CHRISTIAN political combination would be the Moderate: fiscally liberal/socially conservative. Whether rich or poor, the fiscally liberal tend to be more charitable. The greatest part of social services come from this point of view: charity. Socially conservative may err in this arena, but they tend to be of the mindset that we need to protect people, even if it is from themselves. Parents who care about their children will be like this. Parents who don't won't.

Those are my thoughts...What are yours?
