At the risk of pummeling an already, very dead horse, allow me to ask you once again: so, how is your pro-life vote for Joe Biden looking right now?
As I’ve said repeatedly in the past, I can understand if you could not cast your vote for Donald Trump, despite all the good that he did. In your view, the damage he did and the example he set more than outweighed the positives. And so, as a lover of Jesus and the Word of God, you could not vote for him.
But a vote for Biden, specifically, as a pro-life evangelical? What on earth were you thinking?
During the elections, I strongly challenged your rationale in casting a “pro-life” vote for a strongly, pro-abortion candidate. And I was incredulous when you expressed shock and disappointment when President Biden lived up to his promises and strongly reiterated his pro-abortion sentiments, asking this on February 1, 2021: “Did you not see the radical, destructive, anti-Christian policy decisions he would make?”
That would be like me, as a Trump voter, expressing shock and disappointment when Trump sent out nasty tweets as president. Why on earth should I have been shocked or disappointed? That was his expected behavior.
In the same way, Pres. Biden’s staunch opposition to the pro-life movement should have surprised no one. It is exactly what he said he would do, and it is in harmony with the Democratic platform.
Now, he has taken things one step further, pledging to oppose Texas’ landmark, pro-life bill with all the might of the US government. As the President tweeted on Thursday, “The Supreme Court's overnight ruling is an unprecedented assault on constitutional rights and requires an immediate response. We will launch a whole-of-government effort to respond, looking at what steps we can take to ensure that Texans have access to safe and legal abortions.”
This is the man you voted for. This is the man you helped put in office. This is the man you backed as pro-life Christians. And now he is pledging to fight for abortions with “a whole-of-government effort.” How do you feel about that?
The time for surprise and shock is long since past (and was never, for a split second, justified in the least). Instead, it is time for serious reflection and introspection.
Could it be that your loathing of Trump so colored your thinking that it distorted your view of reality? That, by rejecting the over-exaltation of Trump (which I also opposed) that, in turn, you created a new Joe Biden, a man after your own views and convictions?
And speaking of Donald Trump, have you considered the fact that the Supreme Court’s decision to let this landmark Texas bill stand, representing a watershed moment in the pro-life movement, is largely due to the efforts of Pres. Trump?
After all, all three of his appointees, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett sided with justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas in agreeing to let the bill stand. And while we still do not know how they will vote in the important, forthcoming Dobbs case, we do know how they voted here.
Had Hillary Clinton rather than Donald Trump been president from 2016-2020, the landscape would look radically different.
That’s why so many of us were willing to put up with Trump’s many, obvious failings because of his larger policy accomplishments. It is not an overstatement to say that some of his policies will have a positive impact for a generation or more.
In October 2020, I wrote this to pro-life evangelicals for Biden, “With all respect, I say this: Do not talk to me about ‘biblical balance’ while urging evangelical followers of Jesus to vote for the party that justifies the slaughter of more than 60 million babies in their mother’s womb and will fight tooth and nail to codify Roe v. Wade.
“Any mention of ‘biblical balance’ that doesn’t start with concern for the shedding of innocent blood is so far out of balance it is no longer biblical.”
I repeat those words here today. Your vote for Joe Biden was a vote against the unborn. Own it.
Michael Brown holds a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Literatures from New York University and has served as a professor at a number of seminaries. He is the author of 25 books and hosts the nationally syndicated, daily talk radio show, the Line of Fire.
A vote for Joe Biden was a vote against Almighty God. And a vote for the Satanic Powers to take control. And they did.
God id Good! He gives the people what they want. Enjoy your descent to Satanic Control.
Cognitive dissonance is the new norm. Goes back to media brainwashing. Kill your for profit electronic media streams. Audio and video poison.
Much of what we “know” is filtered information meant to make candidate attractive to voting bloc desired.
No excuse but few people will research the issues and the candidates.
It turns out to be a popularity contest and/or piss fight.
In a freaking landslide.
These idiot, so called christians, are the useful idiots that communists use to gain power.
As my mom told a member of our church in Dad’s first pastorate: “You can’t be a Christian and be a Democrat!” And that was in 1945, before they REALLY got bad.
I don’t do that, i.e., sit down and make lists before voting. The me, it’s always been glaringly obvious. That may change some day, but so far it has worked.
For me, I supported Trump for President since 1990 when I read “The Art Of The Deal”.
Even the dominion machines are regretting their 2 million votes
My big criteria are abortion, homosexuality, support of Israel, and gun control.
I am a Pro-Life Evangelical, and I LOVE Trump’s “Nasty Tweets”. LOL.
You read my mind. Ditto.
How are Evangelicals who announced they were voting for Biden different from the Pharisee praying loudly in the synagogue that he is thankful not to be like that sinner over there?
“the damage he did and the example he set more than outweighed the positives. “
PLEASE- detail this… PLEASE.
The hate for Donald Trump has NOTHING to do with Donald Trump; it’s all about those hating him. He’s simply the object they use as an excuse to embrace and practice the hatred they have inside of them.
Satan’s temple is out in full view and “christians” who line up with Satan have made their choice. They can only lie to themselves about their un-holy allegiance from here on out.
That is an absurd statement unless you are a liberal, for despite a small minority of so-called evangelicals not voting for Trump, the conservative candidate, no major group has voted conservative (and thus for Trump) than white evangelicals (blacks only make up less than 10% of the evangelical vote). Which includes all Presidential elections for decades (79 percent of white evangelicals even voted for Romney.
Pew...findings, based on a survey of people confirmed by public records to have voted in 2020, showed that Trump was supported by 84% of white evangelicals in 2020, an increase of 7 percentage points over the 77% of white evangelicals who voted for him in 2016....Among Catholics overall, Biden — himself a Catholic — fought Trump to a stalemate. After Catholics backed Trump (52%) over Hillary Clinton (44%) in 2016, Biden managed to reduce the spread to a statistical tie, with 49% supporting him compared to 50% who said they voted for Trump. - https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2021/07/02/study-trump-expanded/

According to a post-election survey conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, Trump won 81 percent of the evangelical vote to Joe Biden’s 14 percent. Biden won a smaller share of the evangelical vote than Hillary Clinton did (16 percent), and the smallest percentage ever recorded for a major-party presidential nominee. (A separate exit poll conducted by the Associated Press and the University of Chicago also showed Trump winning 81 percent of the evangelical vote.)..The network exit poll shows Biden won the overall Catholic by a 52 to 47 percent margin, a switch from 2016, when Trump won the Catholic vote with 50 percent to Clinton’s 46 percent. But the Associated Press survey has Biden and Trump splitting the Catholic vote right down the middle, 50 percent Trump to 49 percent for Biden. These small gains, reflected in both polls, may have made a difference in Biden’s narrow margins in the upper Midwest.
Meanwhile, self-identified evangelicals cast 81 percent of their votes for Republicans for Congress and U.S. Senate, making the difference in critical races in North Carolina, Iowa and Montana. Voters of faith prevented a predicted “Blue Wave” from swamping the GOP in Washington and state legislatures. In fact, the election was largely a bust for the Democrats. - https://www.ffcoalition.com/chairman-ralph-reed-did-evangelicals-swing-to-biden-not-hardly/
They’re one-issue voters. We have far more than just religion to worry about.
And just what one issue is the only one that moves them to vote conservative, and what issues are there that would leave the country better off if the "evangelical crowd loses mass voting power as a whole?" What other major group would replace them? Or just what is the reason for the irrational animus against the evangelical crowd that brings one to assert that the country would be be better off without their collective vote?
Voting doesn’t matter, this has been proven.
