I am speaking about the far right as well as the far left. I am proud to call myself a “Christian Conservative Republican” and I make no apologies for it. I can also understand why there are also many Christian Democrats.
“A house divided against itself can not stand”
President Lincoln also spoke these words during a speech concerning the civil war. They were as true then as they were when they were first spoken by Jesus Himself. They are still true today.
The bible teaches us that we can not serve God and the world and there are some black and white issues. The problem is that neither side of the aisle are completely correct. The fact is there is some good and some bad on both sides.
When the Republican were in power, they ignored the left on every issue and did their own thing. We can not complain now that they left is doing the same thing. BOTH sides were wrong!! We need to work together or nothing will be accomplished by anyone.
We as Americans can change things by putting true moderates in our Government. People who will make their decisions on the facts that they have and not just to make political points or because they are making their decisions because of pressure from the extremist side of the parties.
If both sides are going to dig in their feet wanting everything their way, then nothing will be accomplished. This is not why any of them were voted into office.
“If you don’t stand for something you will fall for everything”
Too many times I seen candidates say one thing and then a month later vote opposite of what they promised while they were running. Or they change their stance once they decided to run for office!!
This is the reason why I voted for Bush both times he ran .I found it impossible to vote for anyone who does not seem to have their own convictions. Their lack of convictions make them to much of a wild card to lead this country.
You never truly knew where they stood or what they were going to do in office. I would rather stick with the candidate that has enough integrity to follow through with his convictions than one who lacks any convictions at all. Agree with him or not, he at least has been honest with us on where he stands and what he believes to be the right thing to do. I respect him for that and we knew that there weren’t going to be any surprises.
The same can not be said about the candidates that he was running against or the Neo-Libs that are running today. These are not moderates they are financed by and controlled by extreme leftwing groups. Thing is, they are being defeated by the same media and groups that support them.
Have they learned nothing from the last presidential election? Or even the latest from France? Just because the media reports things from the extreme left, the majority of people are not for extremes from either side. For some reason people such as Hilary, Edwards, or Obama have not realized that as of yet. The majority of the new senators and congressman (and women) are moderates, not the extreme left as these candidate seem to think. They are just as tired as we are by the all or nothing attitude that has been prevailing and are still trying to prevail in our Government.
