And in our party we beat up on anyone that isn't pro 3rd way or neo-liberal. We are mocked and abused because we don't agree with conservative, pro business ideals which usually hurt the very people you speak of.

Apparently these days, to beat Republicans we need to be exactly like them.

There are gracers who believe it's all been decided since before you were born.

People are born into blessed lives and blessed eternities.

All the good works on earth won't change it.

It's a long standing philosophical conflict in western christianity
