Hi. This is my first post on FR, but I wanted to say that I am very impressed with the fervor that Sola Veritas, Little Jeremiah, and others have shown concerning the need for leaders to speak out loudly against the repeal of DADT. I think this issue is huge. There is no time for passivity or nonchalance by any true conservative leaders. I agree with SV that any “conservative” leader who fails to address this issue head on will not get my vote. Any failure to do so is just plain wimpy IMO.
As Edmund Burke once said: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
Anyway, here’s what I did after reading this thread: I called and left a message at the phone # listed on huckpac.com, I posted a comment on huckpac.com, and I posted a comment on mikehuckabee.com. They haven’t all shown up yet because they have to be approved, but in each case I asked Mike to come out and express his opinion about the repeal of DADT. We’ll see what happens.
I believe that what we are seeing in our culture today is a dire crisis in masculinity. As author Leanne Payne states in her book “Crisis in Masculinity”:
“A crisis in masculinity is always a crisis in truth....A culture will never become decadent in the face of a healthy, balanced masculinity. When a nation or an entire Western culture backslides, it is the masculine which is first to decline.”
In addition, Alexander Solzhenitsyn once said of the West that it was “too weak to oppose the Communist evil that overcomes and defies intelligent thinking.” I think that nowadays we could substitute the term “radical homosexual agenda” for “Communist evil” and come up with a very profound statement.
Anyway, thanks for starting this topic, SV.
“As Edmund Burke once said: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.””
Thank you. It is persons like yourself and Little Jerimiah that will turn this issue around. God has His people out there....it is to them I’m mainly speaking.
Be prepared for opposition. Each candidate has a group of ardent followers that will give their candidate a pass no matter what. I know because I have done the same in the past. Right now it is Sarah Palin followers that seem to be into “Messiah” worship....they seem to think she can do no wrong and she is a reincarnated Ronald Reagan. She isn’t, but no one is....God bless him and his memory (my favorite president) but I don’t think Ronald Reagan was what RONALD REAGAN has come to represent. He has become larger than life.
Anyway...God bless. You too Little Jerimiah. BTW folks - Little Jerimiah is a Christian lady and a Woman of Valour.
