Ron Paul aside, next year’s presidential election looks like it’s shaping up to be a extremely pathetic in terms of who will be on the ballot. From the RINO to the suit, from the semi-liberal to the actor, it’s shaping up to be real circus.
What really scares me, though, is not the parade of names trying to one-up each other in the primaries, but, looking past that, to the general election, and the principles that conservative Christians are going to be selling down the river.
While I’m putting a lot of support behind Congressman Paul, and I sincerely hope he wins, I’m not so jaded as to think that one of his opponents will not receive the Republican nomination. Right now, if I were a betting man, I see Giuliani getting the nod, and I see Clinton getting the nomination for the Democrats.
When this happens, Christians all over America will be faced with an interesting dilemma. Can they cast a vote for a pro-death fascist, and will they encourage others to do the same?
I know many people who held their nose when voting for Bush in the last two presidential elections because they couldn’t stand the thought of Gore or Kerry winning. Clinton has the potential to be worse than either of those two men would have been. Is that potential so horrifying that we’ll sell our souls and vote for the lesser of two clear evils, or will people realize that supporting a lesser evil is still supporting evil, and being to support the other parties?

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor—he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation—he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city—he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.
