Are Republicans for LESS government control, or MORE?
Today, while I was mowing the lawn (and NOT watching the Wisconsin game, sadly) I was approached by a very nice couple wanting to know how we would be voting on Proposition 8, which is the proposition on the California Ballot to define marriage between a man and a woman. I told them that I didn’t think the State had any business defining it in any way. They were very cordial, and we parted ways. I returned to the horrid chore of mowing the lawn. But I was thinking…
The Republicans have always been for less government and less government control. However, when it comes to their own personal religious or moral beliefs, they think they have the right to essentially create a state-sponsored set of religious guidelines that all must follow.
What part of “less government control” do the Republicans have a problem understanding? The issue of whether gays should marry is not one the government should have any say in. What do you think, Christians, you’re going to save people by making homosexual marriage illegal? They’re still going to sleep with one another. They’re still going to go to hell because of their rejection of the ordained order of things. You’re not going to legislate them to salvation. How about you try this:
MAKE SURE YOUR CHURCHES ARE PREACHING THE WORD OF THE LORD!!!!!! You need to focus on getting the Word of God into people’s hearts, and when people are saved, the LORD will convict them of their sin. They will hate homosexuality because the Lord has declared His hatred of it in His Word. Trying to legislate it is getting to be ridiculous.
I thought the Republican party stood for freedom at one time. Less intrusive government. Less government altogether.
Looks like the Republican party has its own double standard with which to contend. They want less government until it comes to something they personally believe in. The difference between them and the Democrats? None, when it comes to more government. Just the area of your life which they want the government to control.
