You have heard all the arguments about purity so I will not belabor the obvious.
Yes, I have given up. Fifty million plus infants, not to mention Terri Schiavo, and how many people have risked even a citation for disturbing the peace with a rosary? Not many.
Those few — can they get elected? No.
I would also say that after 50 million dead and hardly anyone lifted a finger (except to pen), the grace that God once shed on America has been withdrawn.
But if I said that you might call me a purist.
Never underestimate the mercy and grace of God.
