(AP Wire) Former president George H.W. Bush will endorse Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in Houston on Monday during a media availability at 9:30 a.m. Texas time, Republican sources say.
So former President H.W. Bush will “endorse” Senator John McCain…. This should seal the deal for the Republicans, so far as I am concerned. Incomprehensibly, McCain was not showing well in the polls a few months ago. In fact, there was scuttlebutt that his campaign was going bankrupt. Ron Paul was consistently defeating him in straw polls. Then – presto!– he discovers an inexplicable and meteoric rise in popular support. I wonder if CFR kingpin George Soros or other agents of H.W. Bush’s “New World Order” had anything to do with this unexpected turn around? You think?
Now if “Evangelical” Christians mindlessly follow the party line and throw their support behind Mr. McCain, they therefore are implicitly supporting the crimes and treason of the Bush dynasty. War crimes. Crimes against humanity. The evisceration of civil liberties as enumerated in the Orwellian “Patriot Act” legislation. Open borders and meaningless prattle about “Homeland Security.” Fiscal insanity. The list goes on and on.
The problem of corruption in politics is systemic, and is based on a steady stream of propaganda and disinformation. As Chuck Baldwin recently put it:
Blind allegiance to the two major parties has created a “lesser of two evils” mindset that has warped the thinking and perverted the values of otherwise good people. What people would never accept in any other venue of society, they gladly and willingly accept from their chosen party’s candidates.
People expect honesty and integrity from clergymen, bankers, doctors, businessmen, realtors, journalists, and even used car salesmen. Those same people, however, quickly tolerate and even excuse dishonesty and chicanery from their chosen political party.
Ever since George W. Bush became President of these United States, I have watched in disbelief as my fellow Christian conservatives have not only looked the other way as Bush repeatedly betrayed conservative/constitutional principles, but have willingly and enthusiastically supported his apostasy. Many of them are continuing to do the same thing by supporting the Big-Government, pro-amnesty, pro-gun control, pro-100-year war, grubby candidacy of John McCain. Good grief! Pat Robertson even endorsed the soiled candidacy of the liberal cross-dresser, Rudy Giuliani.
It is clear, therefore, that conservatives are more than willing to support and defend someone they know to be unfaithful to both their oath of office and to bedrock conservative principles. In other words, it does not matter a whit to them whether their candidate tells the truth, obeys the Constitution, or even demonstrates fidelity to the fundamental principles of liberty. If he has an “R” behind his name, conservatives will support him.
However, the same people who will justify dishonesty in the lives of their favored party’s politicians would never accept such conduct from anyone else. Furthermore, many of these conservatives actually call themselves Christians; many are preachers. They preach and teach the virtues of honesty and integrity from the pulpit. They teach boys and girls to be honest and virtuous: to put the principles of right above personal wealth or benefit. Then, they turn around and support these lying politicians, many of whom are fornicating, greedy, arrogant reprobates. What is even more amazing is that they find no inconsistency with what they are doing.
The Evangelical Church in the USA is at a crossroad. If it continues to support the status quo and buys into the duplicitous “lessor of two evils” reasoning regularly used to drum up support for corrupt politicians (of either party), it will seal its doom as any sort of “salt and light” to a moribund culture. Frankly, after witnessing how the Evangelical leaders of this country have singularly snubbed Dr. Paul — the ONLY real candidate with moral integrity — I am certain of the outcome…. Judgment is a heartbeat away for the USA. May the LORD God of Israel show us all mercy.
