 "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and
sweet for bitter." [Isaiah 5:20]

Christians in Politics:
Issues
Does the Republican Party represent you?
The Republican party has long
been considered the representative of conservativism, but does it really
reflect conservative values?
- Some Republicans oppose an effort
within the RNC to cut off funding for candidates who support
partial-birth
abortion. John R. Kasich said, "´The Republican National
Committee from Washington should not try to dictate what public officials
across the country are going to support. We are a pro-life party, but I
don´t think we ought to go forward with that."
- Many Republicans have joined their
liberal counterparts in an effort to pass a piece of Clinton's Nationalized
Health Care Plan, legislation that extends big government reach into our lives
and controls yet another American industry. As a matter of fact, the
legislation containing the largest tax increase in American history was
sponsored by a
republican!
- Where are the pro-family messengers
speaking out about taxing middle and low income families to
enrich
lawyers? Where are the family friendly voices pointing out the hypocrisy of
replacing the
marriage
penalty tax with a larger tax increase?
"Sometimes we wonder if Republicans
don´t have a secret suicide wish. That´s the only way to explain why
this GOP Congress seems eager to hand the nation´s trial lawyers two epic
political victories. Senator John McCain´s tobacco-tax bill promises to
turn a passel of plaintiffs´ lawyers into billionaires. As if that´s
not enough, House Republicans Greg Ganske and Charlie Norwood are proposing to
open up previously exempt parts of the health care economy to liability suits.
If a Democratic Congress tried to do anything at all like this, Republicans
would be rending their garments on the Capitol steps."
-The Wall Street Journal
American politics is not any
longer about Democrats, Republicans, or Independents ...
It's not a fight between
the Liberal Left and the Christian Right ...
It is about what America is.
It's a war of competing
ideas and worldviews.
It's a conflict over beliefs and values, over the ideas that will rule society.
It's about whether certain individuals are above the law or are all Americans
equal under the law. It's about truth... or is truth even important? It's about
the direction we want this country to go in the future. It's about the world we
leave for our children. It's about what god we acknowledge or whether we
acknowledge any god at all. It's about the same struggle man has
gone through since the beginning of time, the struggle between good and evil.
On one side, you have
people who believe in living by a set of divinely inspired moral absolutes -
or, at the very least, they believe that following such a moral code represents
the best way to avoid chaos and instability. On the other side, you have people
who insist that morality is simply a personal decision. Any attempt to enforce
it is viewed as oppression. Quite simply, many liberals believe that efforts to
adhere to and enforce behavioral rights and wrongs is simply the powerful in
society attempting to force their views and judgments on the
"victims" of society, rather than what it is: an attempt to maintain
the standards that have evolved and survived throughout human civilization and
which produce a quality life.
