So, this guy is my representative in Congress, and he's getting a lot of play right now, mostly because he was on Joe Rogan a few weeks ago. He's a very eloquent speaker, and purports to be a devout Christian and a progressive at the same time. As of late, I have seen a lot of my Christian friends really talking him up. I have one in particular that called him a "true follower of Jesus" who puts into practice Christ's words.

He recently said this at a speaking engagement last week in Austin: "Instead of posting the Ten Commandments in every classroom, why don't they post money is the root of all evil in every boardroom? Why don't they post do not judge in every courtroom? Why don't they post turn the other cheek in the halls of the Pentagon? Or it's easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than to get into the kingdom of heaven on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange?"

I have my own thoughts, and some thoughts on this guys politics in general, but before I commented, was curious as to where others stood on this guy.

I do not know a ton about him, but what he says seems to resonate with me. I would prefer him over Paxton.

I appreciate the trying to be faithful to Jesus, but too often it becomes a servant of the (radical left) Culture.

What if the words "you shall not covet" were tattooed on the arm of all socialists and communists?

We could play this all day.

It's been proven for centuries. If you teach good guidelines for living, not all people will follow them. Nothing new.

Trying to cast shadows on broad swaths of people (which is what he's doing) instead of calling out specific ones is a recipe for dividing the masses.

Most people want poor and destitute folks to have help, including a lot of rich people. The war against the rich is old as time, but most often unproductive.
We have in our system ways to counter consolidation of wealth in the hands of the few. Another round of trust busting along with removal of laws that favor consolidation would be good. But I don't see any democrats campaigning on such, including your rep.

It's a terrible dilemma, but I think we need to be very careful with someone who claims to be Christian and attempts to use those beliefs to justify progressive positions.

But I'll have more on that later.

That's sort of where I was going ... too many radical, left-wing Christians have made the Gospel a slave to Marxism and the Gaystapo.

Here's a good analysis of Jimmy the Fake Preacher's "Christianity":

I do remember he was one of those Texas Dems who fled to Illinois to prevent redistricting a few months ago.

He seems more like a charlatan. Typical politician.

He is playing to the middle and when elected will legislate hard left. Wolf in sheep's clothing.

Don't know him at all, but when someone is said to be both a "devout Christian" and a "progressive", obviously red flags should be raised, and one or both terms needs to be qualified. Just from basic research, you can find that Talarico is said to be an "active member" of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Austin, TX. If you go to that church's website, you read: "We affirm the full participation of all... gender identities..." You also see their full support for the "reproductive rights" which we all know means abortion. Their mission statement lists their goal of being "gender neutral". There's social justice language peppered throughout their website. And on their front page there's a picture of the cross, draped with a rainbow cloth.

So assuming that's the right church - if he's devout, it sure ain't for true Christianity. Devout progressive? Sure seems certain. That's all that's needed to know where I stand on him.

1. He is not primarily trying to be faithful to Jesus. He's trying to be a successful politician.

2. This guy's mis-quoting and mis-reading of Scripture is pretty blatant and transparent, but a lot of conservative politicians do things along the same line. Beware of anyone who pretends to have Jesus's view of contemporary American politics.

Let's start with the twisting of scripture.

It's the LOVE of money, not just money.

The dude thrives on other's ignorance.

Most Dems thrive on the ignorance of others. And our nation's education system fails to teach people US history, economics, the Constitution, and much else that is essential for a functioning republic. Naturally, the education establishment is in bed with the fascist leadership.

Where does he stand on the usual moral issues (abortion as birth control, LGBT, no prosecution for criminals, etc) that "progressive Christians" get wrong?

I'm guessing he is far from being an orthodox (little o) Christian on those issues, which means that he's just using Christian terminology to advance a socialism/communism where Caesar replaces Christ.

Big gay rights supporter, and saw a clip from Rogan where he was attempting to argue that abortion is biblical.

But there are a LOT of Christians being fooled by this guy right now. I see it on my Facebook feed. So called committed Christians really touting this guy.

It's not good.

Based on all his different statements about his beliefs... he's not a follower of Christ, he is a follower of his own created god.

THIS is what the Bible means when it talks about using the Lord's name in vain. It is using God's name to promote evil things like abortion, trans ideology, Marxism, homosexuality, unitarianism, etc

Figures.

I'm not on facebook, but given the current state of Big Eva, I'm not surprised to see "committed Christians" touting that guy.

Interestingly, Christianity is the only Abrahamic faith that outright bans abortion:

"Thou shalt not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is begotten."
- The Didache

Islam permits it, as does Judaism.

"Islam permits abortion under specific conditions, with rulings varying among different schools of Islamic thought. Abortion is generally permitted before 120 days of gestation, which is widely regarded as the point of ensoulment, when the fetus is believed to receive a soul."

"The Talmudic principle is that a fetus is not considered a full person (nefesh) until birth, and is regarded as part of the mother's body.
  • The Talmud (Arakhin 7a) allows abortion to prevent emotional distress,
  • Early pregnancy: The Babylonian Talmud (Yevamot 69b) states that before 40 days of gestation, the fetus is considered "mere water", implying minimal legal status, which supports early abortion without prohibition."

That creates a yummy dilemma for Conservative Christians. (Maybe it doesn't as it's been in the marketplace since 2016.)

That's what "Christian" politicians on the Left usually do. Remember Joe, Nancy, and all the other "staunch Catholics" whose priority was killing as many babies as possible. One struggles to take seriously any if their faith claims.

Latest poll (admittedly there have been few recently) puts him up +9 over Crockett, though a December poll had Crockett up +8, so who really knows.

I can say, anecdotally in my neighborhood in Houston, I pass 10+ Talarico signs to 0 Crockett signs every morning walking the dog.

I honestly don't care much about his professed faith, that is between him and God unless and to the extent he uses it as policy support, but I don't think may right leaning politicians of the last 30 years are not guilty of the exact same thing.

I would vote for him over Paxton.

I can say, anecdotally in my neighborhood in Houston, I pass 10+ Talarico signs to 0 Crockett signs every morning walking the dog.

I honestly don't care much about his professed faith, that is between him and God unless and to the extent he uses it as policy support, but I don't think may right leaning politicians of the last 30 years are not guilty of the exact same thing.

I would vote for him over Paxton.

I get having your stomach turned by Paxton enough to sit it out. But choosing to vote for a progressive over Paxton? Son, get your head examined.

If she can't win, no problem for the left - what they do is not have a primary at all, and run her as a mate to an aging white man who's near his end, in hopes he'll soon keel over (or get 25th'd) so that their preferred identity candidate gets shoehorned in that way.

Shes running for senate so she wont have a running mate. They may pull that trick with aoc for VP though. I have a hard time believing that enough people outside the ghetto demographic would vote for Crockett to be a senator but dems will vote for any crazy person with a D by their name.

Curious what meaningful difference you see in the two choices? A vote for Talarico is as much a vote against Paxton as anything. People like Paxton should not have the opportunity to gain such positions of relative power and prominence IMO.

If Cornyn somehow wins the republican primary I will likely withhold a vote for senator (as I did in 2024, I couldnt pull the trigger on Allred but also cannot really stand Ted Cruz any longer). Cornyn is the other side of the useless coin IMO. Either way, the type of politicians currently serving in congress and the senate largely all need to go.

Voting for a Democrat over Paxton is a terrible idea. Policies not people. All these people are just placeholders for an agenda.

What is Paxton's agenda? What does Paxton bring that is better than any alternatives?

Paxton is worse than every republican alternative, but better than any democrat alternative.

He will not cave to the leftist Dems.

Will he do something unethical that benefits himself? Most likely.

Will he cave to the woke, socialist agenda? Absolutely not.
