Will someone PLEASE get beloved Evangelist Franklin Graham a bran muffin, and give him a hug?

Evangelist Franklin Graham has a white hot meltdown on Twitter after big liberal win



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/evangelist-franklin-graham-white-hot-meltdown-twitter-big-liberal-win/

Franklin Graham isn’t even trying to pretend to live the words of Jesus Christ anymore. The hyper-partisan son of the late Rev. Billy Graham, just days after Easter, took to Twitter to denigrate progressives in the wake of Tuesday’s stunning upset that placed a progressive Democrat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

“WI just lost a seat in its state Supreme Court to a progressive judge. In my opinion, if Christians had come out to vote, this seat wouldn’t have been lost. It’s not the time to be silent—it’s time to make positive change for our children & grandchildren,” Graham tweeted on Thursday.

71 percent of Wisconsin residents are Christian, so it’s unclear who Graham thinks put Judge Rebecca Dallet on the state’s highest court. But hypothetically, would she be any less good of a judge if only Jewish people placed her there? Or atheists? Or Muslims? Or the one out of four Wisconsinites who are spiritual but not religious?
Who, exactly, does Graham think voted for her? It had have included a large number of Wisconsin’s Christians, since she won by a 12 point margin.

But Graham also went even further, attacking progressives.
“Christians should be aware of candidates who call themselves progressive. Progressive is generally just a code word for someone who leans toward socialism, who does not believe in God, & who will likely vote against Godly principles that are so important to our nation,” Graham also tweeted.

While the OT advocated good old fashioned genocidal conquest, the NT, when it discusses how societies should operate, is not only socialist but even communist. Actually it advocates separation of your religious beliefs from the surrounding government so long as the government does not compel you to act in conflict to your religious beliefs.

Maybe we can go back to bombing dikes like dear old dad proposed and killing those rotten commies including the women and children.
