Actually, abortion lost its #1 premier issue position on 9-11-01. We are now in a fight for Western Civilization, which includes freedom of religion.
After that war is won, if it’s won, we can reassess what Western Civilization is, if we’re a pro-abortion or pro-life society, condone homosexual marriage, etc. But without that basic freedom, the rest is meaningless.
I don’t think I’d be abandoning my principles by supporting someone for POTUS whose personal beliefs on those social issues might be different from mine, so long as s/he would continue the fight to preserve the freedoms granted us in the Bill of Rights and various amendments to the Constitution. That fight would include appointing to SCOTUS justices who can read and interpret rather than rewrite the Constitution.
3000 Adults were murdered on 9/11/01 by people who have no respect for life.
3000 children are murdered every day in this country by people who have no respect for life.
Without that basic freedom [LIFE], the rest is meaningless.
So we are faced with a choice this election as we are with every election:
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV)
When we pull the lever in the primaries let us remember that. Or lives and the lives of our posterity depend on it.
If we abandon our core principles out of the fear that somehow God will not protect us, but some flesh and blood leader who has no basic respect for the life of the most innocent among us will somehow protect us better than God Almighty, then we have chosen to abandon God and as a result we simply cannot expect that God will continue to protect us.
Trust God and Choose life, that you might live.
The choice is yours. God has given YOU that choice. It is an awesome responsibility. In whom will you place your trust. Man or God?
Excepting the Second Amendment, if you're a Rudy man.
Excellent post, ED. I agree 100 percent.
If the country is gone, what rights will matter?
