Judgment on America?

The congressional elections are coming up in America in a couple of days, and many evangelical Christians will be hoping that the Republicans will win. Republicans are seen as more Christian by a lot of evangelicals and so they tend to give their vote to the Republicans. Because I have a Christian website I get spam mail from Republican political activists, I get on their mailing lists and so on. It is assumed that, more or less, God is a Republican.

We know that the Democrats are usually championing causes like a woman's right to kill her unborn child and so forth, things which God calls murder, so its hard for believers to vote for them. Democrats seem to be more favorable to the homosexual political agenda, and are generally more in tune with pagans and those who reject traditional Christian morality. So a number of evangelical groups have lent their influence to the Republican party.

The Republican party is different to the Democrats. The Democrats say they are PRO abortion - pro CHOICE is what they call it. They are PRO death. At least they are honest about it. I think its honorable to be honest about one's intentions.

The Republicans say they oppose abortion, but they don't stop it. They are pro DEATH also, but death to their political opponents and the citizens of other countries who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They say they can't stop abortion, but it seems that they can stop democracy. George Bush as commander in chief of the war and terror can do anything he likes, with or without congessional approval or the approval of the courts. The Republicans CAN go in and destroy foreign nations, and start trouble that leads to the death of hundreds of thousands of people. They can arrest people without a trial, and torture them. They say they are pro-family, but many times it seems that prominent republicans practice homosexuality, and I understand George Bush has appointed at least one openly practicing homosexual as ambassador to a certain European nation. But George Bush says that he is a born again Christian, and that he prays, and Bush is an honorable man.

Is America more righteous than other nations in the world? Are its spiritual leaders above reproach? Are its political leaders above reproach? America has had more gospel preaching than any other nation on earth. To what extent has all this resulted in moral reform, in the practice of justice and truth?

America is a democracy. You can vote for the Republicans, or the Democrats - any other vote won't count for anything unless another party arises which is bigger than one of these two giants. You can vote for the war on Iraq, the stripping of Civil Liberties, the rise of a Police State, or you can vote for the Democrats, who may or may not be for all those things also - its too early to tell. The main difference between the two parties in practice seems to be that Democrats seem to have a concern to use tax money to help build the chances of the poorer people - Republicans seem keen to use tax money to spend on armaments and so on. Both parties are for spending money they don't have and sinking the nation into further debt, but the way they propose to spend it is a little different.

The prophets of America are telling us that we should vote for the Republican party because George Bush is a Burning Bush raised up by
