When Irration Anger Wins You Become Your Own Enemy
The “value” voters or cultural conservatives as I like to call them seem have disappeared according to reports. According to the article I read from Reuters they have found more important issues than stopping the genocide that occurs through abortion in the United States and deliberately and arbitrarily kills 1.2 million children annual according the Alan Guttmacher Institute. Some say the Iraq War is a larger concern and yet it has resulted in the death of mere 3000 brave American soldiers in 3 ½ years who laid down their lives so that others may get a chance to know what freedom is about. On the other hand those babies mutilated by abortion do not have any choice as they are executed in cold blood at the request of their own mothers; who’s duty it is to love them and secure their natural right to live, liberty, and pursuit of happiness among other rights. The medical staff and those mothers are more like the insurgents and those who supply them with aid and comfort because like them they are destructive of the natural human rights of other human beings without a noble cause.
I understand that these cultural conservatives and angry at the people in power but if they allow that anger to rule them then they will be manipulated by the very people they want to remove from office and they will end up removing the ones that that have remained loyal. The libertarian wing of the Republican party will in fact ally with liberal from the Democrat party to fight against cultural conservative values. I tend to believe it is better a liberal Democrat than a libertarian Republican since that may well encourage the Republican party to offer a better candidate next time. One the other hand getting rid of a cultural conservative Republican that for the most part agrees with my cultural values out of anger at their inability to break the liberal-libertarian alliance is insane. Victory is a slow process of winning over the hearts and minds of people and getting them to put cultural conservative people in power. The sad thing is I have heard to many wanting to give the House to the Democrats when the House is not the one being disloyal to the cultural conservative cause. The Senate is the one that we need to win and one way may well be to hand seats like Lincoln Chaffee’s to the Democrat party in hopes that the Republican party will put a conservative challenger in the race. The risk of course is that Bush and whoever is elected made seek a moderate candidates for the federal judiciary or even extreme left one to get by the Democrat Senators. From what I see we need a third populist/conservative alliance party in the blue states which is culturally conservative and yet appeals to the Democrat voters.
In Pennsylvania we have a populist candidate for Senator running against a conservative. That race is a tough decision but I would probably favor Democrat Bob Casey as that will hopefully encourage more pro life candidates in the Democrat party which would certainly be a plus for the cultural conservative cause. I do not know the immigration stance of the two contenders and knowing that may shift my opinion.
On the Foley matter from what I see the Republican establishment did bungle it but if we remove them from office for that bungle then we will invite the lion in to chase out the dog and will end up regretting it. At this time the rebuke they are receiving at the hands of their constituents should be enough. If the continue to be light on crime then sterner measures may well be needed at a later date. I believe that such measures should be handled only if we can replace them with another cultural conservative.
If we can keep mix our anger with reason and ask for God’s favor then there is a good chance, depending on God’s will, that we will win in the long run even if we loose a few fights along the way. The enemy just like the one in Iraq will continue to fight and will adjust their tactics so we can not choose to let them manipulate us because we choose to act irrationally.
