Amen and I would like to add Paul and Matthew to the list mentioned earlier of those chosen by God and they were wholly imperfect. Dobson seems to be more of a "Pharisee" than a "Christian".
Worth saying twice.
Worth putting in context: A vote for an outspoken supporter of abortion will in some way assuage the consciousness of someone who "does not want the lives of innocent babies on" their conscience. Good logic.
Dobson was one of a group of Evangelicals that went to Reagan and begged him to run.
I might suggest you read the whole thing before you make that statement. Putting it into the original and stated context, it might be better understood.
Since when does a carnival side show like FOF determine what is right?
Ditto that for Reagan! Most Reagan Democrats are Evangelicals.
A SOCIALLY LIBERAL REPUBLICAN IS CALLED A ROCKEFELLER REPUBLICAN - SO YOU ARE NOT EXACTLY A NEW GENERATION.
Thank you for this post. Well written and good thoughts.
Show me one voter—liberal, conservative, whatever—who would vote for a candidate that stands in opposition to their personal beliefs. The MSM making Christian voting a big deal is totally agenda driven, and intended to confuse/split the Christian “block”. Conservatives, Christians, Moderates, Jews, Hindus, Liberals, Atheists...doesn’t matter. People will vote for the candidate who believes in what THEY believe in. It’s just that simple.
“Effeminate”? What are you talking about? Because he has a passion for defending and supporting families? I’ll resist trying to psychoanalyze you.
That's exactly who I had in mind.
Thank you
I will be honest, after the radio show I was so angry I couldnt see straight and I posted several not so nice retorts about Dobson. It didnt feel right so I closed the computer and prayed, and prayed. Faith...
I am calm now LOL...so maybe we all might make more sense if we remembered Who these principles are from to begin with.
BINGO!!! JACKPOT!!!! exactly right. Put Giuliani in the Republican slot and YOU will be the losers. If you know it will split the Republican party, DON'T PUT HIM IN THERE!!
The principles of the scriptures are immutable and cannot be compromised. The preservation of innocent human life is such a principle.
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Jeremiah 1:5.
“Truly you have formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mothers womb. I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made; wonderful are your works.” Psalm 139:13,14
Some on these boards may not understand this perspective but for those of us that hold to them there will be no votes for Rudy.
Let's face it. If Rudy wins the dems win. They may not have Hillary but they'll have a president with an R behind his name who espouses the same policies. A Rudy presidency would move the party and the country further left than a Hillary presidency because the only opposition would would come from within his own party. The left wouldn't oppose him when he does their bidding while satisfying country club republicans because he has an R after his name? RINO's have already set the precedent with Arnold and Bloomberg. How else could a cross-dressing, pro abortion, homo loving, gun grabbing, illegal alien apologist NY Lib, even be considered a front-runner in the Republican party? Seriously, no conservative would have dared to imagine this scenario 8 years ago. I don't necessarily agree with Dobson's one issue politics but I understand why he's trying to derail this train. If Rudy is our nominee the Dems can't lose.
thats why it is even more important to not waste energy or effort in (sorry but its how it comes across) throwing a tantrum of demand. There are far better ways to get a point across. I have said this before too....I really cant imagine Jesus and the Apostles saying to those may have turned their backs on them...ok fine we wont have anything to do with you..go have at it.
Instead of being divisive...heres a novel idea.
Most I have seen on here and about dont even like Rudy.
So why not unite together ..with strength and work toward making sure he doesnt get the nomination. BUT
we also cant go throwing out all the candidates because they dont agree 100%. Lets calmly educate, research, fact find. Then lets all work together to the candidate that fits best into office. The work wont stop there. Thats just the beginning.
Take a breath. Lets not let that happen. I dont want Guiliani either. But what I see is that people that dont want Guiliani are baiting each other and arguing. For what?
We can stop wasting that energy and focusing on positives.
I have faith.
