Remaining
Wary, Focusing Locally by J. Parnell
McCarter
Those people who are trusting
Republican or Democratic Presidential candidates for protection of the American
people I think are making a mistake. This post is not an argument not to
vote for one of them. Rather, it is an argument to remain wary even if
voting for one of them. And I strongly recommend focusing a lot of one's
political efforts instead at the local level, where it is still possible for
the little guy to make more of a difference, and powerful wicked interests have
less of a chokehold.
From what I can tell, the
only one of the Presidential candidates that has convincingly said he would ban
Muslim immigration and deport illegal immigrants - two
necessary elements of national protection- is Donald Trump.
Yet how much can Mr.
Trump be trusted?
1. He has a terrible
personal marriage record.
2. He has a terrible
record on abortion, "gay rights", "gay marriage", etc.
3. He attended Jesuit
Fordham University, and his son and daughter attended Jesuit Georgetown
University. There seems to be a family attachment to Jesuitism, which
should cause many warning signs to flash.
4. He says he is a
Protestant but does not understand the Biblical Protestant gospel.
5. He is a very proud
man from what can be seen.
etc.
There are many
evangelical Christians who say we should trust Senator Cruz instead. I am
dubious:
1. His campaign engages
in questionable ethical practices.
2. He has said things to
the "gay lobby" which should raise significant question marks.
3. His immigration
stance raises many questions and doubts.
4. His understanding of
the Biblical gospel raises question marks.
etc.
Senator Marco Rubio's
candidacy is even more questionable than the above two:
1. He had said
when campaigning for senator that he was against illegal immigrant amnesty,
yet worked for it in the immigration reform initiative in the Senate .
2. There are questions
whether he has participated in sodomy.
3. He has the
support of powerful sodomite lobbyists like Singer because they view him as
favorable to their cause.
4. He is deceived by
Rome.
etc.
All of the above claim to be Christian in some sense, but
how sound a Christian and political leader are they really?
The same or worse could
probably be said about the other candidates.
So when one votes, and
if one votes, at least do so with great wariness that you have in fact made
America safe in doing so. Of course, if you do not vote, do so with as
much or even greater wariness that you have made America safe in doing so,
because one of the candidates is going to win, and you have just left the
selection up to others who may have less Biblical understanding than you do.
I will repeat: my
recommendation is to focus most of your political efforts at the local level,
no matter your vote for President.
