You’re wrong on how Reagan led his campaigns. Sorry you just are.

I also somewhat resent your false equivalency. If we are not free, as living beings outside the womb, please tell me who will be able to stand for life inside the womb.

Serious question. You should give it some thought.

But your’re still wrong about Reagan’s campaign. Rolling back the evils of our own government, and of the Soviet Empire, were priorities one and two.

No, I am not.

I was there.

He was the first POTUS candidate to elevate his Pro-Life position to an equal level with all of his other positions.

Revisionist history, or maybe what you want it to be, but certainly not the truth.

You’ve got to remember, CEW, that Reagan big-time courted the Moral Majority of Jerry Falwell. It was a linch pin in his coalition. It brought in a huge number of blue-collar democrats for him.

Prior to Reagan, it was (and I hesitate to admit this) Jimmy Carter who accidentally won the moral vote with his “evangelical outreach” one memorable point of which was the “lust in the heart” statement in the Playboy interview (of all places.)

The morals voter wasn’t so pronounced post WWII until then...not until the drug/sex rebellion of the late 60’s.

Sorry, God's laws are not meant to be put through the shredder of moral jeopardy.

Though I detest the familiarity of the phrase, you have to ask yourself, "What would Jesus do?".

Do you consider yourself a Christian?

Are his laws, commands, and directions the most important thing in your life?

Do you put your obedience to God over your political strategy and principles?

If you do, you cannot succumb to the lure of pragmatism mixed with strategy if it in anyway diminishes your allegiance to God.

If you are in anyway lowering the Social Issues below any other of our freedoms and responsibilities as Christians, you are denying Christ.
