The Truth Manifesto

I’m amazed by the ignorance of people when it comes to history. More so than not, they cater to whatever their hearts want to believe, whether it’s based in the truth or not. We find it in cases like the O.J. Simpson trial, Barack Obama’s record, and in the racist history of the democratic party which they constantly try to pander off to conservative Christians.

This election saw me determined to rescind my republican party affiliation which is too bad because they need as much help as they can get right about now. Technically, I’m still registered as a republican but we’re going to remedy that soon. To be honest, I believe in the basic philosophical tenets of what the party is supposed to stand for, the operative word there is ’supposed’.

The republican party, in a nutshell, define themselves as standing on the following: smaller government, personal responsibility, pro business, less taxes, strong military, and values based on Christian principles of what’s good and right. Sounds nice when you look at it. But how does this really pan out?

The republican party of today doesn’t look like this whatsoever. There are many members of the party that go against the grain of good old conservative values. Infiltrators. Why they persist in calling themselves republicans, I don’t know. They say things like moderate but really what they mean is liberal.

This has never been so prevalent as in the recent immigration amnesty bill (that’s what it is). The president, who is just lost on this, is supporting this as well as many so called republicans. This stands against the basic tenet of strong defense. I believe that they are clueless when it comes to those things or ignore them.

In addition, the republican party attempts to use the “religious right” in a way that is very unbecoming and just downright sinful. In a nutshell, hypocrites. Say one thing and do another once they get into office. More and more it is a party that is trying to please constituents for the sake of a vote instead of running on a platform and sticking to it because it’s what they truly believe. It is a party that has lost integrity and honor.

Also, it’s bothersome that talk show hosts, most of them leaning republican, take basic truths of the Bible and use them out of context or shun speaking about it entirely which would be a wise move given the fact that it’s evident that the ones who do speak on it are clueless. Yet they want to use the devout Christians on the right to get elected.

This rampant inconsistency and loss of direction are the reasons for my hiatus from the republican party. You either have a position and stand on that position because you truly believe in it, or you don’t. You only change that position when evidence that a better one has come along or that yours is faulty. If it’s based on something as timeless as the Bible, you can’t go wrong and have no reason to change.

However, you don’t change your position because someone is not going to like you and may not vote for you. That’s cowardice and has no place in the political arena. Unfortunately, the political arena thrives on this, republican and democrat alike. It all points to a lack of character.

Truth be told, I’ll still probably vote republican in major elections. As I said in my last blog, voting democrat is pretty much synonymous with voting anti-Christ philosophically and a brotha ain’t havin that. But when the leadership has gone in a direction that I’m not willing to follow based on principle and conscious, then we must go our separate ways. My hope is that things will change soon.

The political climate in the United States today has become one of grave polarization and extreme partisanship. The two reigning parties, the democrats and the republicans, are on a continuous hate fest, most of it coming from one party which is the party I’m discussing in this post.

In the next few blog posts, I’ll begin to look at the political parties and lay out the foundation of why I’m not a part of either.

First in line are the democrats.

Oh…How Things Change

Today’s Democrats are not like yesterday’s democrats though there are a few things that still stand true for them. I’m not a democrat because of the philosophy that they adhere to in order to advance their ideas (or lack of them). Today, liberalism, a term that is synonymous with the democratic party, has crept into the political landscape, turning the party into an amalgam of an anti-Christian/anti-God, humanistic movement. It’s dangerously stooped in communism and socialism.

First, just to clarify, I’m going to list a few of the things that liberalism promotes, a philosophy which is embraced by the democratic party: pro-abortion (let’s call an ace an ace and a spade a spade), pro gay marriage, governmental welfare, medicaid, and social security, anti-death penalty, euthanasia, high taxation, big government, anti-religion. Take a good long look at the policies and belief system of Clinton and Obama. You’ll see this is dead on.

The last one alone should be basis enough for any Christian to stay away from affiliating themselves with that party. However, there are probably a few people out there saying, “I’m a democrat and I don’t support all of that.” That very well could be the case. But the litany of anti-Christ beliefs that the democratic party embraces should have any screaming for the hills and not lending any support to the party if you’re not willing to change it. It goes along the lines of avoiding the appearance of evil (1 Thessolonians 5:22) and liberalism is evil folks. Period.

Understand, the scope of this post is simply to state why I’m not a democrat so I’ll save the specific explanations for each of those for later posts.

Second, democrats masquerade as being a party for black people. The minorities. Surely, you jest?

The democratic party spurred more Ku Klux Klan members than the republicans ever did (the Republicans did their own evil deeds which I covered in Stupid Racist Republicans…Good Riddance) which I have covered in detail in my post Democrats: A Legacy Of Racism.

The democratic party says, “Oh, we know you can’t do it yourself so we’ll help you because you’ll never get a break without us.” That devalues and keeps minorities in a slave mentality that they are weak and need someone to look out for them….like a master or a slave owner. I’m not buying it.

They Can’t Be Serious. Can They?

Obviously they are and it’s working. More African and Hispanic Americans vote democrat than any other party. I firmly believe this is largely because of ignorance and to tow the line to be recognized as being really black (this is a whole other blog post) which would qualify as…well…stupidity. So called black leaders (more like puppets and power mongers) lead this notion to make it look more legit.

Just check out this telling video of what kind of voters the Democratic party turns out:

It’s Just Because Of…Uh…Uhh..

Third, democrats, as I mentioned earlier, have no ideas. They know how to vilify, scream like babies, make scathing (and many times unfounded) accusations, and get emotions riled up. But in the arena of ideas that actually solve problems and issues, they have none. And the ones they have are rooted in communism and socialism and no one really wants to go there so they just stick to what they’re good at which is all the above.

So, as a Christian first with a conscious and a solid understanding of basic biblical truths and principles, I’ll never follow a political party that promotes these things. Ever.
