I have not always been a McCain supporter. I think he is too bipartisan, too quick to come to agreement with the left. I didn't like McCain/Feingold's restrictions on free speech. Sometimes I get irritated by his goofy grin as he wraps up a slogan, phrase, or sentence. I don't like the fact that he hasn't hammered Barack Obama on his philosphical underpinnings.
But, I believe in the right of every child to live, from conception onward. I believe every human life is a sacred gift of God. I believe that God created this world and is intricately involved, especially wherever he is invited to be. I believe that big government IS the symptom of a greater problem.....than all men everywhere desperately need something bigger than themselves to give them worth and save them from chaos. But government, no government, is the answer. I believe it should be the church that takes the lead in helping the poor and caring for the orphan and widow. (Shame on us for surrendering that responsibility and learning to shrug our shoulders in dependence to Uncle Sam!!!) I believe Israel must be supported and Jerusalem must remain undivided. I also believe the Palestinians, those that are not radical jihadists, must be loved and cared for, even given a greater autonomy.
I believe taxes are a necessary evil, but high taxes are a travesty to freedom. I believe that re-distribution of wealth is WRONG! It is SOCIALIST and breeds a perpetually dependent and massive class of unmotivated sheep with the mentality of Pavlov's dog.
I believe that the definition of marriage means that one man marries one woman and holds that covenant for life. I believe abortion should be illegal and divorce should be hard to obtain. I believe that adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lying, cheating, murder, covetousness, and a thousand other sins, are all disqualifiers for eternal life. I also believe that Christ died to forgive them all, as long as his gift is received and repentence is lived.
I believe there is evil in the world and it should be confronted at every level. I believe there are evils that seek to destroy my country, my family, my freedom, my Christianity, and me! But I also believe there is a way, one way, for all men to find a relationship with their Creator. His name is Jesus.
John McCain and Sarah Palin come closest to my belief system. In fact, they seem to match it right down the line. So,I will vote wholeheartedly for McCain, even if it looks like he might lose! I challenge you to stand on your priniciples and understand that IT'S NOT THE ECONOMY STUPID! (I said that with a smile and with much love.)
