I am thinking about becoming a Republican because my Baptist preacher says Democrats are Communist Nazis who hate Jesus and wholesome American Christian values. He also says collages brainwash students into becoming godless liberals.
Is he right?

I think President Clinton was bad but personally I wouldnt make that comparison.
Thats like the Bush/Hitler comparison, it only comes from the minds of the uninformed.

No Stalin was a megalomaniac mass murderer who destroyed the socialist revolution in Russia.

Bill Clinton was a fairly good President of the United States of America and an extraordinary political talent

The problem with conservatives isn't the everyday conservatives themselves; it's the people they listen to. Conservative leaders, in their vilification of liberals, tell so many lies about what liberals are supposed to believe, support, say, do, etc., that the everyday conservatives end up hating a fictional enemy. If what the pundits said about liberals was true, I'd be a hardcore conservative.
If liberals were so terrible, these pundits and politicians would have no reason to lie at all. They could just recite facts and let them stand for themselves. Instead they take part in character assassination and avoid speaking about actual issues. They make blanket statements that have no basis in fact. What's worse is that many of them cloak their rhetoric in a pseudo-Christian guise to act as if God is somehow on their side (even though the Bible basically tells them to pray quietly and stay out of politics).

i agree with the college point, but the demos=nazis.... im not too sure. they are usually pro-choice, athiest peoples, but you cant put one label on that many ppl.
if you want to become a republican, do so for the simple fact that you like their ideals better. if you like lower taxes, smaller government, more personal freedoms to make your own decisions, then investigate the republican party more and see if they represent what you believe. otherwise, dont be affiliated with either party.

Where does one begin with this? Don't walk away from that minister, run like hell! Has he ever read anywhere, anything like 'judge not lest ye be judged' or 'love one another as I have loved you.' How is he practicing any Christian precepts when he is lying so horribly to you and his flock and hating literally millions of God's children. I am not judging the man, he may be ill, but please do not let his hatred and close-minded view of the complex taint your mind and soul.

Was the preacher talking about politics or religion? Both can't be mixed. Was he promoting ignorance?
What is what YOU think?

Why dont you spend some time researching, also search your heart, surely you have relatives and friends who are democrats, are they god hating democrats? Do these friends hate Jesus? Why would you allow the word of one person of influence in your life decide an issue like this?

Your Baptist preacher has no business using the pulpit for politics. Shame on him.

Please don"t listen to your preacher. Neither party follows christian teachings. The republican party , since 1980 has been manipulating the religious right for votes.

Sounds like you belong to a radical Christian church. Better think twice about you spiritual leader he is preaching hate and lies just like the radical muslim clerics.
