I feel like a stranger in my own land, which has become totally strange to me.... I feel like a stranger in a strange land....
And as such, so much exposed to mortal danger, emanating from both domestic and foreign sources. Obama welcomes either or both.
Why would you and your Christian cohorts not try to stop his further depredations against/destruction of the United States and the American way of life?
Whatever. I doubt your criticisms of Romney are provable, if seen in context. Still, you can always try to persuade me otherwise: I've got my "ears on."
Good night for now, dear brother in Christ. It's time for sleep....
Hi Betty, hope you had a great evening. I am not addressing whether or not Romney would have been a better president than Obama. He would have been. In fact, I imagine every social conservative who withheld their vote would also agree with that.
However, that is not the issue. The issue is that there is a huge bloc of social conservatives who CANNOT vote for anyone who violates their understanding of their obligation to God.
My sense is that it is in actuality a relatively short list: life; natural marriage, family, sexuality; free exercise of religion.
Romney was coy about life all along, and his ‘health of the mother’ “slip” seemed to be a signal.
Romney had simply gone over to the dark side on natural marriage, family, sexuality.
Romney was fairly strong on free exercise. There was no problem there.
So, Romney was better than Obama, but Romney violated key principles. It was impossible for them to vote for him and have a clear conscience before God.
My hope is that republican ‘get it’ and offer up a candidate which they can support. Otherwise, we’ll be back at this same place in a few years.
How do they justify it? As the judgment of God on this nation for it is God who causes the rising and falling of kings and kingdoms.
