You cannot in good conscience be a believing Christian and a Democrat at the same time.

You have to be non-serious about one or the other.

You cannot in good conscience be a believing Christian and a Democrat at the same time.

Nor a straight party ticket voting Republican. Go back in history a couple of decades. It was a Republican, Independent, and Democrat who formed a grass roots org that changed political history and ushered in the Reagan era and that led to the GOP majority in both houses. I do not believe myself that any political party has the blessings of GOD especially now. Our leaders whatever party they belong to are only a reflection of our nations moral character or rather growing lack of it.

Leaders if the moral conscience of the nation as a whole is good will be blessed with wise leaders and will prosper. Nations who fall away are cursed with poor leadership even though some among the leadership may be good persons.

Some may laugh but in the 1980's we enjoyed national prosperity and stood tall before the world. Where are we today? We have the most knowledge and greatest technology of almost any nation on earth yet where are our successes now? We tolerate evil in our government over some misguided notion of a lesser than two evils voting system which is now used to excuse having poor candidates. We are the most brilliant nation yet look at our leadership on both sides. We have some of the worst minds leading this nation in both parties yet none call them evil if they belong to their own party.

Until people get over it's the DEM's vs the GOP and instead start addressing it as the character of candidates the good and wise vs the evil and foolish we will not see change in this nations direction. We have two parties steering us in the same direction now because we allow ourselves to vote for evils.

If a DEM comes up and says he/she is pro-life, pro traditional marriage, and pro family values I will vote for such over a Republican who will vote for such things as abortion, same sex unions, and programs that destroy the family. I do not believe any party including independents own Jesus. I believe if he walked into the nations Capitol as he did the Temple both parties tables would be turned over and scattered.

Don't vote solely for a party vote for a candidate instead if none is exceptable then don't vote in that office in protest. Let the LORD handle it from there. Do what is right and not seems expedient. Vote on what you believe in and support those running for office who hold your values. When We The People have a change of heart our nation will be healed. No political party is gonna save this nation only changed hearts will and that means in both parties and the nation as a whole.

Regarding the comment that one can not be a Christian and a Democrat at the same time, you got that right.

The left is so good at using a Christian cannard when it suits them. I have heard lefties explain that Hitler was a Christian when they need to disparage Christians. Now in this case we are supposed to believe that Dems are Christian. Whatever.
