NaBloPoMo Day #21... Voting for the wrong things

I make no secret of the fact that I think Barrack Obama is a terrible president and seems intent on ruining this country and turning it into a socialist state. So if you like him, you may want to skip this post. :-)

I was talking to my pastor a few evenings ago, and he told me something that still amazes me. Someone who has Mennonite relatives told him that a lot of Mennonites voted for Obama and just love him. The reason? He said he was going to end the wars, and doesn't like wars. They are non-resistant (anti-war), so they walked off the cliff with him. (Wonder how that war ending is working out for them?)

I was flabbergasted. I asked Stan "But he is the most pro-abortion president we have ever had. Is their anti-war cause more important than the murder of innocent babies?!" He wondered the same thing.

I saw a poll result on hotair.com last week that disappointed me. People were asked what they thought Republicans should focus more on -  fiscal issues, or social issues. I don't remember the numbers, but fiscal won out. Really? Are we truly conservative if taxes are more important to us than the murder of innocent babies?

On the abortion issue, I have a theory. I am afraid that most Republicans and conservatives have become numbed to it. We don't really think about the fact that it IS murder. Or we don't want to think about it. The next time you are seeing a newborn baby, just think about this: Up til the point that the baby actually came the whole way out of the mother's womb, it was legal to kill him or her. By stabbing a sharp object into the brain or sucking it up with a vaccum. Do you want to support that? Vote for people who support that?

Granted, we cannot be a one-issue voter, and there is no perfect politician, but I firmly believe abortion is a big enough issue that it should be one major focus when we vote. Would you vote for a candidate who supported and fought for the right of parents to murder a day old baby? A month old baby? A two-year-old? A five-year-old? Of course you wouldn't, and some would say that isn't the same. Why not? The only difference is they aren't inside the mother anymore. If it is murder outside of the womb, then why is it not murder inside the womb? It is. Too many people are swallowing the lies of the abortion industry. And another question - why is it not murder if the mother kills the baby inside of her, but if someone would attack her and cause the baby to die, they can be charged with murder. Oh right - because the mother didn't agree to it.

If you are pro-Obama and still reading this, did you know that there was legislation that was going to require that if a baby survived and abortion, they would have to save it? He was against that. He was all for letting that innocent little baby die. Just lie there alone, and die. Yet tons of people, Mennonite and others - voted for this man. Why? Because ending wars and other things were more important than killing babies.

It really does boggle my mind how a Christian could vote for someone who is strongly pro-abortion. Rose, from the conservative talk show around my area, Rose and Quinn, has commented on a few occasions that any Christian who voted for Obama is not a Christian at all and needs to repent. That is pretty strong. Not sure I agree with the first part, but maybe the latter.

I think when we vote for a person who supports something, we are placing a vote in favor of that. You might disagree, but I think I am right. Abortion was a biggie for Obama, so people who voted for him voted for abortion. There is no way around it.

This country seems to be going to hell in a handbasket. I strongly - very strongly believe - that if everyone in this country who professes to be a Christian and/or conservative, would vote according to their beliefs and according to God's principles, we would still be a Christian nation. Abortion would still be illegal. Disagree? That is ok. I am right.

It is time Christians started standing and voting for the right things. War is bad - yes, but a necessary evil. Abortion is far worse, and is not a necessay evil. It is plain evil and murder, and exists mostly because people do not want to take responsibility for their actions.

So don't go out and vote for murder/abortion. Vote for life.
