Hoot Gibson Wrote:The problem with supporting local Democrats is that some of them grow up to be national Democrats. Unfortunately, the same kind of irresponsible, immoral political behavior has taken over the leadership positions of the national GOP.
The biggest difference between the parties is that the few fiscal conservatives and ethical politicians who exist in Washington are Republicans and most of them are members of the House of Representatives.
Nearly all Democrats and most Republicans in Washington have accepted that this country is headed for an economic meltdown and are just lining their pockets and clinging to power as long as they are able to collect and spend other people's money. The few elected politicians who are sounding the alarm and fulfilling campaign promises are worth supporting.
Correct, and it can happen a lot quicker than one might think. The career of Alison Lundergan Grimes comes to mind. There is the example of someone who owing to her father's involvement in local politics, became involved as a mere child at the local level. She went on to become Secretary of State in Kentucky, and one could argue that she has already come fairly close to becoming a US Senator.
She will act and vote like she has been taught, and as she is no doubt guided by her father and political associates. That's where she will get her most meaningful atta-girls, and you can bet that mean's a lot.
I must say I really appreciate this line of discussion because it is so pertinent in our time. Truth is truth. There is not political truth separated from spiritual truth by a wall as was dreamed up in the mind of an ACLU lawyer named Leo Piffer. Nothing true ever contradicts other truth. Scientific truth, economic truth, sociological truth, all truth coexists together in harmony. Therefore if it is wrong to kill people, (and as far as I know it still is in the eyes of the court), then it is wrong to kill little people too. Especially defenseless babies still in their mother's womb.
It is the same old argument as is depicted in Scripture, where Satan through guileful yet skillful complexities far superior to the quintessential abilities of your local flim flaming car salesman, afforded Eve occasion to err. It is the art of changing a simple and straightforward concept to make it mean something completely different than was it's originator's intention. I mean, one can rationalize abortion on demand with volumes of data and arguments, but it is still wrong. In exactly the same manner, those who espouse Evolutionism over Creationism, justify their stance with ever more elaborate and voluminous speculation. Justifications for those who prefer to believe in Evolution are all the stuff of retro engineered surmises which are not based in science. Although science is mixed into the omelet to give it more spice and flare, and I can tell you that said complexities represent a mountain of contrived data in comparison to the rather modest amount of data available when I was in college. Global Warming is the exact same deal, by the time these guys get through building the cover story, a convention hall full of debaters would not stand a chance in rebuff. You know what they say, if you can't win them over with the facts, overwhelm them with the bull.
Abortion on demand is murder, and not working to support one's family is wrong, as is the homosexual lifestyle. Democrats have sworn to advance all three with all their strength, as Hillary is out doing as we speak. Those three issues are enshrined as planks in the Dem's party platform, and are openly campaigned for by joined-at-the-hip Democrats.
Acts 5:29 (KJV)
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
As Hoot has pointed out, unfortunately to some extent the Republicans do it too. At least the war is still being actively fought within the Republican party, and that's why as yet I have not yet completely abandoned hope or the political process.
