I also believe that voting for someone who is VERY pro abortion like Hillary Clinton is committing a grave sin!

The obligation to defend one’s country from enemies bent on destruction of the society built on Christianity lends credence to the Article V movement.

Anyone who feels “obliged” to vote, shouldn’t.

The only reason to vote is because you actually know what you are voting for.

"To speak of a moral obligation to “exercise one’s right to vote”

The way I look at it when one has a "right" to do something, one also has a right not to do it.

I’m not paying my taxes. Screw that.

But if we don’t vote, then we’ll be truly coming to our priests asking about our decisions to pick up guns and kill other men.

Voting is a great way to save lives.

You have zero responsibility to vote, especially in a situation where the civil authorities are using the pretext of a ballot to excuse and perpetuate evil. For example, using the excuse that “the voters are supportive of abortion so we’ll make it legal.” Unfortunately that is more often the case than not. Using the legitimacy conferred by the ballot to excuse and perpetuate evil.

I’ll go further and note that voting is at best the better choice amongst immoral and evil choices. This year I would argue it’s the least bad choice. But that’s not the norm. Pretty rare in truth.

Very good, short and sweet.

Let me add when the vote makes no difference and supports and Evil government it is Our Duty to Withdraw Our Consent and Fight against that Beast..

Anyone supporting America now is Not serving God as their Master for any Nation that can find it lawful to KILL the Most Innocent cannot be a nation whom serves God PERIOD

Also on this:
“engaged war is an unjust one”
When was the last time there was any real discussion of a Just War??? This has not been the case for over 50 years at best.

God Bless

If you are not an informed voter, then don’t vote.

If you let emotion over-ride logic, don’t vote.

In other words, if you are a demonRAT, don’t vote.

Now, if we could just convince Catholics to vote conservative, moral values then we’d be all set.

Well, if the rcc would get the word out then maybe the catholic vote will swing to Trump and not another dimocrat as it has too often in the past.
