In an earlier post, I spoke of what is the "elephant in the room" in this election. Yet, the subject is being muted and muffled by noise about the economy and less crucial issues.
It's time for life to become a battle cry in this last week of war for the future of American liberty! And it has been a declared war by the Left! It is the one area of real, recorded major difference between the candidates.
Let us not forget that Creator-endowed right to life and liberty is the foundation upon which this nation was founded.
If a nation devalues that concept, basing an individual's right to life and liberty on judicial fiat and a woman or girl's decision, then where is the security for liberty for any?
Yes, the elephant in the room in this election is the Radical Left's absolute determination that it, alone, will decide who sits on the Supreme Court of the United States! They talk about "change," they talk about war, they talk about everything else, but the "elephant" is the question of the unfettered right of a woman to destroy her unborn child. To the Left, this is a declared war on all opposition.
McCain & Palin do need to talk about the economy and Obama's "spread the wealth" philosophy, but for the sake of liberty for generations yet unborn, it is far more important that he clarify the importance of the life issue, and the threat to liberty if Obama carries out the Left's agenda. Soft pedaling this issue, as if it is just a personal preference, overlooks a far more significant principle.
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."- Thomas Jefferson
"The world is different now. . . . And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God."- JFK, Inaugural 1961
“the elephant is the question of the unfettered right of a woman to destroy her unborn child. To the Left, this is a declared war on all opposition.”
How will Christians respond when O abolishes all restrictions on abortion nation wide? Can we tolerate the absolute and unrestricted murder of all preborn and newborn children?
Are we to become a truly disposable society discarding our children, our elderly, our infirm, our politically incorrect, and our moral absolutists? Liberals do not want to hear this about themselves. They refuse to confront the demons of their own ideologies.
Let this be shouted from the rooftops and the hillsides: liberalism in all its manifestations is a curse on society and a ravenous beast, devouring all that is holy and blessed.
If an O presidency is to be our fate we must, indeed, gird our loins and prepare for a war to end all wars.
