Is standing for principal when it actively hurts the goals you are trying to achieve actually standing for principal or is is an act of ego?
The argument here is that the author feels he is standing for the principal because candidate A is not pro life PERSONALLY. However, that candidate is part of a party that IS pro Life. It is also the party that favors a strict Constructionist approach in Judaical nominations. Strict Constructionialism favors Life over child murder.
Therefore with a GOP President, you have a chance of getting Judges appointed that will rule for overturning Roe V Wade. That despite the individual candidates own views not being to our personal views. With a Democrat President you will get exactly the opposite. You will not only NOT gain ground, you will lose ground you have all ready achieved in the fight to preserve life.
So is what being stated here as “Standing on principal” actually standing on principal or is it actually sacrificing principals to personal ego and feelings?
Standing on principals to me means actively working to achieve those goals not just standing on a soapbox being mad because the fight is tough and not this second going our way.
Maybe you should be asking those questions of the people you vote for, Johnnie.
I would gather that them abandoning the sanctity of life is based upon ego.
What if Republicans suddenly became in favor of raising taxes. Or what if they suddenly wanted to form a gang of 14.
Or what if they wanted to take guns away from law abiding citizens.
What if they wanted to engage in doubling or tripling pork.
There is no ego involved with following Christ. In fact, The white Christian is scoffed, humiliated, etc.
ego?
Yeah— us Christians are all about ego- but Mitt, Rudy, McCain, and Fred are all about humility, humbleness, and virtue.
It is us Christians who are in it for personal gain....
nice logic there.
It depends I guess on what your goals are, Johnnie.
My goal is not to worship a party. My life is based on standing up for what is right.....
Some people claim that integrity is who you are when no one is looking.....I disagree....that is the definition of someone’s true character....
Integrity is standing up for what is right.....even if it means standing alone.
As I recall- Jesus displayed this very trait- even in the face of crucifiction. By your reasoning, he should have denounced the Truth in order to stick around and give more sermons, or perform more healings......
so now, not only am I a petulant, whining child- but I am also a narcasist? an ego maniac?
and those that are humble and virtuous are Rudy and Company?
amazing what can happen to someone’s logic when an elephant becomes the symbol of saving our country instead of the cross.......
