Vote America

I have been reading that there is a fear, among Republicans and conservatives, that a lot of religious/Christian people are going to sit out this election simply because they cannot abide Donald Trump’s morals.  They certainly won’t support Democrats, but they can’t vote for Trump.  As one who tries to be faithful to the Christian religion, I comprehend this perspective—to a point.  Each must answer to God for his/her own life, and some believers just cannot stomach Mr. Trump’s jaded past and some of his current beliefs.   Again, as a Christian, I can understand it, but I also have some problems with it.

My first major concern is...good grief, people, look at the alternative.  Granted that Mr. Trump is not the reincarnation of Jesus, but the Democrats—all of them, not just Harris and Walz—are just pure evil.  They are as unChristian, godless, and abominable as humans can be.  Kamala—and other Democrats—have made it more than plain recently (remember Gretchen Whitmer’s Doritos) that Christianity is something that not only isn’t their cup of tea, but they hate it.  When one understands the Left today, and I’ve written countless articles the past few years trying to expose the atheistic, licentious, Marxist foundations of Leftism, i.e., the Democratic Party, one realizes not only that they loathe Christianity, but WHY they loathe it.  And I intend to write more about it as long as the good Lord gives me breath.  

Nobody who claims to be a Christian and who truly understands the Left and the Democratic Party today could ever vote for a Democrat.  It would be the height of hypocrisy.  To claim that “Jesus is my Lord” (which a true Christian must), and then vote for a party that believes in murdering babies, transgenderism, same-sex marriage, and other homosexual perversions, the mutilation of children, the theft and destruction of honest people’s property—no Christian could vote for anybody who propagates those anti-Christian, godless positions.  Of course, fingers are pointed, with some justification, at Mr. Trump.  He HAS shown support for homosexuality and same-sex marriage in the past.  How pure is he, really, on abortion?  His foul mouth can be very offensive at times.  Thus, many believers throw up their hands and just say, “Well, I’m sorry, I know the Democrats are godless, but I just can’t find it in myself to support a man like Donald Trump, either.” It is a conundrum for many people. 

I do personally believe that Mr. Trump, for all his faults—and we all have them, including every faithful Christian—is a far, far better person than Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.  I don’t think Trump is “evil”; he may have some wicked bones in his body, but “evil”?  No, I don’t see that.  But I do consider Harris and Walz, and every Democratic politician, evil people. Indeed, it’s a matter of degree; in one sense, morally, every election is a selection among the “lesser of evils.”  But, if we honor that rule this time, Trump is far superior to Harris and Walz.

But there is a second, extremely important consideration here.  I’m not just a Christian—though that is the most important thing in my life—I’m also an American.  Even if I couldn’t vote for Donald Trump because of his morals, I WILL support him because I’M AN AMERICAN and believe America is the best hope for Christianity and freedom in the world.

I think all of us recognize that the Democratic Party hates the United States as it was founded with its Judeo-Christian moral base and wants to warp it into its own godless, Marxist, totalitarian image.  As a patriotic American, I cannot let that happen.  Just look at the destruction Biden and Harris have wrought on the country in the last four years.  Let me list some of that damage briefly.

1.  Economic.  The inflation has been bad enough.  But it’s deliberate.  The Muslim Sultan of Delhi, Ala-ud-din Khalji (1296–1316), once said, 
“The Hindus will never be submissive and obedient unless they are pressed down to poverty.”  This is exactly what the Democrats intend to do to America: put people in poverty, make them dependent, and they will be submissive to a totalitarian government.  Isn’t that what Marxists have done everywhere?

2.  The DEI military.  Harris and Walz obviously have no intention of making the American military what it ought to be:  the leanest, meanest fighting machine on earth.  They WILL continue the DEI experiment in the military, continuing to weaken it in an increasingly dangerous world.  There is at least one reason why Vladimir Putin endorsed Kamala Harris for President, and this point has to be near the top of the list.

3.  Immorality.  As a Christian, I am saddened, disgusted, and appalled to see the horrible immoral sewer so much of America has become.  That’s the Democratic Party, and it’s also intentional.  The less virtue a people possess, the more government they will need to control them.  How many times have I written, explained, and proven that?

4.  More illegal immigration.  For anything she is saying now (and she hasn’t said she will stop the illegal invasion), Kamala Harris will never do it if she becomes President.  She will allow in millions more illegals for the simple reason that she sees them as future Democratic Party voters.  This will destroy the America that you and I love.

So, yeah.  If you are a Christian and have problems with Donald Trump’s morals (you ought to have more problems with Harris’s and Walz’s), I do understand that.  Thus, let me plead with you:  vote for America.  Sitting at home, not voting for Trump because you don’t like him, is a vote for the most godless, anti-Christian Presidential ticket in American history.

If you can’t vote for Trump, vote for America.
