Conservatives and Consistency




With the '08 elections coming up (holy cow, we're already talking about them? We didn't even get a nap after the '06 elections), I'm concerned about inconsistency with conservatives. Ok, first, I'll talk strictly politically, and then spiritually.


I'm sure you noticed the quote in the above image, while that may not be word for word, is similar to what Mr. Limbaugh said during the '04 elections. You know him, Mr. Hannity, and every conservative (yourself included, if you're conservative) talked about how the democrats (liberals) were just voting against Bush. You probably heard or said, 'If there was just a blank line where the democratic candidate's name (Kerry) should be, liberals would vote democrat.' And they [we] were right, they would have voted for a dead man just as quickly as Kerry. But, now, it seems as if we're doing the same thing. Ever heard of the 'Stop Hillary express'? Sean Hannity says his show is the 'Stop Hillary express', and conservatives everywhere say, 'Oh, no, anything buy Hillary!'. Obviously, Mrs. Bill Clinton (as Rush most cleverly calls her) is wrong on 99.99999999% of her ideas and beliefs, and reminds me of Orwell's Big Brother, in the book 1984, but that's beside the point. The point is, it's rather hypocritical to attack liberals for voting against something, and then doing the very thing you attacked.
So, would I vote the big 'R' if Mrs. Bill Clinton was the 'D' candidate? Only if I agreed with the 'R' candidate, without a thought for Mrs. Bill Clinton. If I didn't find that I agreed with the 'R', I would vote third party. Let's put it this way, if Guliani, Romney, or McCain won the GOP nomination, I would not vote 'R'. Simple as that.

My second point is, if you voted 'R' to 'Stop Hillary', because you're horrified of what life would be like during her reign (which I am), then I say to you, as best said by our savior, 'Why are ye fearful, O, Ye of little faith?' To do anything out of fear is to put your faith in something besides Christ. Do what is right and leave the rest to God.

And now, about this time, I realize that I'm not old enough to vote.

YES YES YES!!! People seem to forget that when they vote for someone, they are essentially saying, "I agree with what this person is saying and believing".

It is not as simple as choosing "the lesser of two evils"... we should not choose either evil at all! If we vote for a candidate who is full of sin, it is as if we are partaking in their sin by enabling them and encouraging them to continue in it, and allowing them to create laws and stuff that allow evils. (like killing un-born babies)
