A man who by his own admissions and boasts supported legalized abortion and government sanctioned, taxpayer funded infanticide for over 30 years of his adult life and still supports the homosexual agenda even today was and is neither Christian or moral.

no, some of us who hate Obama hate Romney as much and wont be voting for Romney, either.

That's a quote of a reply to the video at the link you provided. And if I'm not mistaken, that is your position as well.

But at the end of the day, all this gets you is four more years of Obama.

Virgil Goode does not have a snowball's chance in Hell of becoming President of the United States. So what does that leave you with: Armed insurrection?

Such a thing would be very short-lived. Obama would take a "fly-swatter" to it in no time. No sweat!

As for the teleplay at the link, IMHO it is a bunch of cherry-picked quotes without regard to any deeper context in support of iron-clad preconceived notions.

You could cherry-pick quotes from me made over the past 30 years and "prove" that betty boop is the most despicable person who ever drew breath here on Earth.

I mean, if that was your intention, I'm sure you could do it.

As if I am reducible to statements I have made in the past, and am so defined by them that I can never change my mind about things, that growing knowledge and experience over time — not to mention a Christian conversion along the way — count for nothing.

I almost never rely on a person's verbal statements as a means of discerning his character. I look at his deeds.

Even on that score, Romney isn't perfect — I truly deplore his decision not to raise the riot act against the Supreme Judicial Court when it (unconstitutionally) instituted gay marriage here in Massachusetts. If the man has a fault, it seems to me it is a reluctance to disturb the public peace, or too much willingness to reach out to the other side in order to make an accommodation "to get things done." [But with Paul Ryan on the ticket, I believe Romney gains a much clearer, disciplined ideological focus.]

Massachusetts is a very strange, ideologically disordered place, and has been for many decades. Romney could neither cure this situation, nor even get elected here, without acknowledging what are, in fact, the majoritarian views of the Commonwealth.

On the other hand, I look at his deeds, his accomplishments private and public. He is a staunch family man, raising five sons with a loving wife of some 40 years; he killed the massive corruption that had infested the Salt Lake City Olympic games, turning the games into a source of great American pride; he has a stellar business record, and a reputation for scrupulous honesty in all his business dealings. In public life, he balanced the Massachusetts budget without raising taxes. As far as the RKBA is concerned, under Romney, my Class A License to Carry (a high-capacity firearm) was upgraded from a "Sporting" restriction to "All Lawful Purposes." If anything, that meant to me that the State was recognizing that the RBKA is NOT restricted to sporting purposes, but acknowledges (for the first time in my life) that I actually have a RIGHT to self-defense, not just a right to go down to the shooting range, or go hunting.

I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree, Jim. I hope we may continue to do that in a civil, good-faith manner.

Thank you so much for your observations.
