You fundamentally misunderstand, and the only excuse here seems to be yours.
I think of last time around in the presidential primaries. Newt Gingrich. He had gotten serious enough in his faith life to switch churches because of a tie he believed it had to God. Now to me — and I will robustly stand up for Baptist practice in the main, with a few quibbles — that says more important than what church it was (he went from Baptist to Catholic).
But oh, the pissing and moaning over Gingrich’s past miscues and flirtations that went on. He ended up getting passed over for the even spiritually weaker Mitt Romney, and a last minute rally failed to overcome the foxy Democrat ballot stuffing.
Man, wouldn’t you give almost anything to have a President Gingrich right now? Whatever you can fault him for, shyness wasn’t it. He would likely not have faded after one obligatory stellar debate, trying to please everybody like Mitt did.
God is teaching us lessons. Will we listen? And yeah, “religion” if you must. Religion that doesn’t DO anything is a farce!
I would have loved Gingrich compared to most of the options there. But that isn’t the point. The point is that every time someone makes excuses for the GOPs mistakes and lack of action it further empowers them to move left and do more things like work all manner of anti christian, anti American leftism into the laws of the land. Which they have done at an increasingly rapid pace since Ronaldus shunted the presedential coil..
This is a VERY black and white issue since it was the grey matter that screwed it up to begin with. Or the lack of it’s use to be entirely accurate.
We are 10ish months out from an election. A couple/ish years out from the big one. Right now is the time to put your principles on display and let the idiots know that you won’t continue participating in your own demise. The alternative is to repeat the last election and be all hyperpatriot until you get skeered and cave in when it matters most.
This assumes of course that you (the general you/we) actually believe in what we go on sites like this and claim to.
you do or you do not. Black or white.
Simple choice for me.
