Shouldn't liberals like the Old Testament and more specifically the LAW? They are into BIG GOVERNMENT so they must love the way God ruled Israel.

Conservatives in turn should love the New Testament and Grace. God is much more hands off in the sense that He allows human nature to work and us to relate with Him.

In fairness

To be fair, Danny, as political conservatives we DO favor big government when it favors our views:

--We favor government regulation of practices like abortion we find abhorrent.
--We favor government regulation of private sexual conduct between consenting adults. (Laws about prostitution, sodomy...)
--We favor government restrictions on free speech and conduct with laws that restrict the use of profanity and sexual activity on broadcast media, and we favor government prohibitions on, for example, the burning/trampling of the U.S. flag.

We SAY we favor smaller government, but it depends upon the issue, doesn't it?
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

And I guess independents should mourn that they've chopped the canon in half. :(
