BIGGEST ELECTION WINNER IS BIBLICAL MORALITY “Morals” were the number one issue in the presidential election and Biblical marriage won against homosexuals in 11 out of 11 states. While some outcomes are unclear, this one is over and Christianity is the clearest and biggest winner.
Bush won over 70% of those who say “morals” was the top issue in their minds and this gave him an historic number of votes. This translated into more Americans voting for President Bush than any presidential candidate in American history—even more than the popular Ronald Reagan!
It meant Bush was the first presidential candidate in 16 years to win over 50 percent of the popular vote—something the charismatic Bill Clinton never did.
Homosexuals, in vicious opposition to the Bible’s teachings on marriage, are fighting to get same-sex marriage legalized. Eleven states reacted to this by proposing on a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. In all 11 of these states the ban won.
Eight of these states also voted to ban civil unions, and all eight of these voted to ban civil union.
The margins of defeat for the homosexuals ranged from 86 percent to 14 percent in Mississippi to 54 percent to 46 percent in Oregon (projections as of 2 a.m., EST).
"Tonight, marriage equality took a right hook to the chin and tens of thousands of families will be hurt,” admitted Matt Foreman, Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (the "Task Force") “but it's certainly not a knockout -- in fact, our community is emerging stronger than ever before in many states. This is only one round and when the fight is over, complete equality for gay people will be the only side left standing."
Biblical morality and family values won a resounding victory.
Thanks God and thanks to the dedicated, hardworking, Bible believing Christians.
WOO HOO!
Traditional marriage was a winner but so far that's it. This nation has strayed a long, LOOOOONG way from Biblical morality, and one election win is not nearly enough to reverse that.
One word: filibuster
Their "core values" are well expressed in the Humanist Manifestos I, II, and III: Man has no higher authority. He should not deny himself any pleasure. He is not bound to any moral prohibition to redefine "personhood" in ways that suit the fit, healthy, and strong majority. There is no afterlife.
Let's purge from our minds once and for all the notion that the battle is one between morality and amorality. It is the same battle that has raged from the beginning: good against evil.
Remove the Supernatural and all that is left is the Unnatural. Chesterton
I voted for Bush because of terrorism, the economy and the hope that he will fulfill his promise to reign in spending in his second term. Traditional values are in there but not at the top of the list.
I vote moral values. It is my primary issue.
Fortunately, the most moral person usually has the clearest sight on any number of issues.
It is time to push the house and Senate to pass a constitutional amendment. We've proven there is the public will to vote for this.
It has already passed over and over in the states by overwhelming majorities.
Yes, no matter how many try to deny it, Christians' prayers and votes turned the election for Bush.
Thank you, Jesus!
Excellent post. Thanks. The Democrats truly need to be grateful Bush won, period.
I wonder how these issues got on the ballot? Was it part of the Republican strategy?
I don't need a reply to this, but it seems like a brilliant vote getting strategy !
I should do some more digging, but I'm wondering if the states where this issue appeared all went to Bush.
What? You mean Kerry showing up at 25 churches the day before election and parroting scripture didn't convince Americans that gay marriage and partial birth abortion are true Christian values?
22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Defenders Notes >>
22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Still, as thinking, cognizant beings they do have core values which guide their actions. That's the point I was trying to make. Not a full glass of water vs. an empty glass, but a full glass of water vs. a full glass of hemlock.
The reason I make this point is simple: They've been beating us up for years over "imposing our religious values" on them, when they do the same thing to us. Children unable to homeschool or attend a private school these leftist indoctrinate with biological evolution, with all its assumptions ans implications (expressed in the Humanist Manfestos).
(The same point can be made about abortion but structured a bit differently: we're accused of shoving our views down the throats of women, when what are these mothers doing but imposing their views on the children they chose to conceive by choosing to fool around by killing them?)
AMEN!!!
African Americans need to realize the reality of the racism of the Democrats. Most African Americans are opposed to abortion. Most want educational choice. They get grossly screwed by the status quo Social Security System. They are adamently opposed to gay marriage. No African American who stands up for these values can avoid crucifixion by the left-wing white Democrats, yet these are the values of most African Americans.
A very strong effort, intelligently, seriously done, can add 3-4% points nationally to the GOP and conversely strip 3-4% from the Dems.
