Frank Schaeffer only sees what he wants to see

Frank Schaeffer has really shown himself to be angry man. And, that anger has been fanned against his deceased father, Francis Schaeffer. In his book he berated his father for all kinds of “wrongs” and what not. All of this, despite the fact that he worked closely with his father into adulthood on various “conservative” projects.

Many who have known Francis Schaeffer very personally, have shown how Frank Schaeffer was simply spewing venom.

Frank is at it again! This time he writes to his hero Barack Obama about how bad the Republicans are.

“The lack of cooperation you're getting from the Republican Party will continue. You were right to indulge in a little bit of tokenism when you had to Pastor Rick Warren pray at your inauguration. But if you think that the Republicans in Congress and the Senate are going to do more than their utmost to obstruct everything you are and what you stand for you're dreaming.

“[T]he Republican Party is controlled by two ideological groups. First, is the Religious Right. Second, are the neoconservatives. Both groups share one thing in common: they are driven by fear and paranoia. Between them there is no Republican ‘center’ for you to appeal to, just two versions of hate-filled extremes.

“The Religious Right supply the kind of people who at McCain and Palin rallies were yelling things such as ‘kill him’ about you. That's the constituency to which your hand was extended when looking for compromise on your financial bailout bill.”

It seems to me that Frankie has a very partisan memory in this regard. Has he forgotten how liberals, Democrats vilified President Bush? It seems to me that Frankie is the one with the hate in his mind and is simply putting it in the public square.

Frankie further writes:

“You're doing your presidency and America no favor by extending an open hand to the perpetually knotted fist of what has become the embittered lunatic fringe of our country. They would rather go down in flames than ‘compromise’ their ideology.”

Frankie, unlike us conservatives, you did compromise everything you stood for, or was that simply a lying sham?, and now support a president who willingly let’s the unborn being murdered and stands for the murder of aborted babies who actually survived abortions. This president, Frankie, stands for everything that Christianity does not!

You have drawn the line in the sand. I hope you can live with it!
