Vote the Agenda


This week we see an interesting situation concerning American political parties and the abortion issue. Samuel Alito is going to be the next Supreme Court Justice. Alito appears to be a good, honest, smart, fair-minded, conservative justice. Alito should be a good justice, but he might not have gotten in as smoothly if the Republicans were not controlling the executive and legislative braches of government. When you vote you are not simply voting for the person, but the agenda of the candidates’ party. There are obviously exceptions, but if the two candidates are equal then we must vote for the party with the best platform.

The majority party in the Senate and House hold so much power in our system that you must embrace the reality that you cannot simply vote the person, but the party.

The Democratic Party has propped up the Pro-Choice movement for thirty years. Are there Pro-Life Democrats? Yes, but they are in the minority and worse then being in the minority they do not stand up for this issue to keep the radical left factions of the Democratic Party in check. Moderates are the only way to save the Democratic Party, but the radical left fights tooth and nail to keep them out of power.

The Democratic Party has made it clear that Conservative Evangelical Christians do not have a home in their camp. The leadership of that party is responsible for propping up Roe v.s. Wade along with many other secular issues. The Democratic Party mocks people of faith, especially Evangelical Christians (c.f. Democrat bumper stickers).

Democrat Christians, all thirty five of you (http://www.henryinstitute.org/commentary_read.php?cid=165), it is nice that you want to help the poor in this country, but you are losing site of the larger agenda. Further the Democratic Party does not actually helping the poor, they only keep people down by their economic and welfare plans.

Democrat Christians start interpreting the Bible with some integrity and join the movement that was given theological legs by Francis Schaeffer and Carl Henry then a political vision from Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

Micah, I am enjoying reading your blog! Oh, and don't forget to fix the following line on your Sam Alito post (I learn by seeing pictures), "Further the Democratic Party does not actually helping the poor..."
