... in which Brat expressed his anger that Obama cited Christian teachings when he criticized Republicans for their attempts to block the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the U.S.
The president, Brat said, “is using the Christian tradition and trying to bring about compassion by bonking Republicans over the head with the Bible. It’s almost a comedy routine on what compassion and love is. He’s mocking his enemies in order to compel a larger federal state using the tradition of love.”
He said that the conservative movement “needs to reeducate its people that we own the entire tradition” of Christian love, because liberal professors “have rejected natural law” and religious ideas.

1. You obviously aren't allowed to make an argument from the Bible unless you are a Republican.
2. You obviously aren't allowed to mention that Jesus commanded us to care for the weak. Only the GOP gets to lecture people about christian love and why christian love calls for a smaller federal government.
3. Maybe this "good Christian" should actually read the Bible. There are no natural laws in the Bible. Such a concept does not exist in Christianity. There is only God's will. The concept of laws of nature was invented in the 13th Century by the esoteric Ramon Llull.
