Why Can't Politicians Vote Morally Right? They Can If They're Not Cowards
By Joseph Grant Swank
Why do so many politicians who attend church vote against the Christian
ethic? Because they're cowards. That's why?
Then they should go to church, repent of their cowardice, and ask God to
provide them with the daily courage the rest of us lowlies have come upon.
It's not that difficult. The church is there. The Bible is there. God is
there. Forgiveness and mercy are available. A new start has been come upon
by the untold millions. So what's the hold-up?
The hold-up is that these people aren't Christians. They don't want to be.
Somehow they got hooked into some church. So they are there, at least on the
membership rosters. But other than that, they're waste material getting in
the way of clear air. They pollute the spiritual environs. They are truly
impeding all that is moral and righteous.
Nevertheless, they keep hanging on. Of course, the scribes and Pharisees did
the same in the first century. They were anti-Jehovah as were many of their
families before them. They were anti-Old Testament scrolls ethic. They were
anti-holiness. Yet they stayed with the system. Must be a power thing. Or an
image thing. Or a habit thing. Whatever it is, it's not of God and will
answer at the Day of Judgment if not earlier.
Therefore, when these Christian Catholics - so-called - continue to
desecrate the Blessed Sacrament, they are nothing more than dead weight -
and that's putting it lightly, by the way. They are in fact sinners of the
first order who outrightly take into their God-created bodies that which
represents the Crucified Sacrifice while daily stabbing womb babies. Now if
that's not a scene straight from an Old Iraq madhouse I don't know what is?
After all, what's the difference between pushing humans into a shredding
machine and pushing womb babies into killaries for dumping them in the
nearest trash can? Nothing. Nothing at all. It's all killing. It's all
murdering innocent people. It's all straight from hell.
That may sound like straight talk but when reading the New Testament
Gospels, I come upon bald straight language modeled by Jesus Christ. He didn
't pull any punches. He could let the feathers fly. He told the hypocrites
that they were the offspring of Beelzebub. He told the Temple Guard that it
was misusing the House of Prayer for a five-and-dime store's take. He called
the fakes prettied-up tombstones, washed white to make them look clean when
all the while they coughed up stinking dead men's bones.
So when it comes to straight talk, we can go all the way back to the start
with Jesus. After all, isn't He the One who started this whole organization
known as the Christian Church? The last I read the Book, He's the One.
Therefore, the Catholic League put it to the point this week when stating
clearly that those who claim to be moralists by attending church or
synagogue should follow through with conviction when voting on bills. If
they claim to be Christian or Jew, they have a holy book standing alongside
them spelling out certain morality codes. Therefore, they should follow
through by voting according to the morality codes.
Here's what the article "Catholic Politicians and Abortion" (May 6, 2004)
stated:
There is nothing inconsistent about a person of faith, in an elected
position, voting on a public issue in a way that conforms to the teachings
of his religion. In fact, Catholics like John Kerry, Protestants like
Hillary Clinton and Jews like Joseph Lieberman do so all the time: all of
them vote to prohibit murder, theft and rape.
Just because Christians and Jews believe something is sinful doesn't
necessarily mean they shouldn't also declare it to be illegal. After all, no
one is proposing that we make all Americans abstain from eating meat during
Lent on Fridays, or prohibit the eating of pork. The issue is whether the
law should protect the unborn. That's not a religious issue, it's a matter
of Biology 101.
--
Atheism teaches that there is no God, hence no God-given rights. That
ideology coupled with a system that believed in the superiority of the state
at the expense of the individual was murderously synergistic.

The lack of moral fiber in politicians surely reflects the dumbing down as
well as the moral corruption of the body politic, as a result of Welfare and
other vote buying schemes. There is an obvious interaction between
despicable politicians and the corrupt electorate that will support them.
The only answer will come when those who understand the decline in our
political institutions--and the quality of those who represent us--stop
tolerating what is going on; stop accepting the idea of the lesser of two
evils approach, and stand firm for candidates who are not afraid to defend
traditional values.
We need to reexamine the suffrage
(http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/vote.htm).
We need to reexamine our political parties. For a practical Republican
example, we need to send Karl Rove packing
(http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/rove.htm).
We need to stop the Third World Immigration, from countries that do not have
the same level of average intelligence and/or do not share our traditional
value systems (http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/migrate.htm).
These steps are only a start, but they are an important start.

The hold-up is that these people aren't Christians. They don't want to be.
Somehow they got hooked into some church. So they are there, at least on

the

membership rosters. But other than that, they're waste material getting in
the way of clear air. They pollute the spiritual environs. They are truly
impeding all that is moral and righteous.

Nevertheless, they keep hanging on. Of course, the scribes and Pharisees

Great. Not only that, but we should also stop emmigration of Americans

systems. Whadday say?

Translation: People are stupid and immoral (but not ole 500
pounds of flax).

as a result of Welfare and
other vote buying schemes.

Translation: Let's outlaw abortions and let newly born infants
starve to death like a god meant for them to do.

There is an obvious interaction between
despicable politicians and the corrupt electorate that will support them.

Translation: People vote for politicians that 500 pounds of flax
doesn't like. And 500 pounds of flax doesn't like that /at all/.

The only answer will come when those who understand the decline in our
political institutions--and the quality of those who represent us--stop
tolerating what is going on; stop accepting the idea of the lesser of two
evils approach, and stand firm for candidates who are not afraid to defend
traditional values.

Translation: 500 pounds of flax has all the answers so appoint
him.

We need to reexamine the suffrage
(http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/vote.htm).

Translation: People similar to me should be the only ones who
vote.
How about - as in RAH - only retired military can vote? That
would work well and - as long as 500 pounds of flax needs a
Constitutional amendment . . .


We need to reexamine our political parties. For a practical Republican
example, we need to send Karl Rove packing
(http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/rove.htm).

Translation: It's all Rove's fault. If George Bush were
intelligent, he would have never made him a more important
adviser than 500 pounds of flax.

We need to stop the Third World Immigration, from countries that do not have
the same level of average intelligence and/or do not share our traditional
value systems (http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/migrate.htm).

Translation: We don't want no more niggers or other mudpeople.

These steps are only a start, but they are an important start.

Translation: Meet ya at the beer hall.
