No, you're putting YOUR values ahead of the rest of the country.

No matter what you tell yourself, you're putting YOUR views ahead of everybody else's.

Yep, that rugged individualism is such a nasty concept.

You realize, of course, that the purpose of the secret ballot is to encourage voters to put their views to work without regard for others' views.

I would put my values above my own life. So am I putting what I believe above the whims of the rest of the country? You betcha, and I'm proud of it.

As for you vet, I love God with all my heart, and I will stand by the principles of God till the day that I die. I won't compromise those principles for the sake of a short-term, temporary victory. Those sort of compromises always result in moral decay and eventual defeat for those who hold those principles, and I will not be party to that any longer.

It's amazing to me how people can put their political parties in the Bible somewhere and start condemning people based on that. The Bible I have teaches that no matter what the persecution or temporary result I receive for doing so, I should always stand for the truth and what is right. Caving for the sake of temporary gains at the expense of principle is something that God has always condemned. So I, sir, won't do it.
