Euthanize the GOP (It has to be done)

As you may or may not know, I left the Republican party just over one month ago. After an acquiescence by my local party's central committe to all things Trumpidian, I knew, in my heart, I could no longer be a part of something so vile and wicked. Check out what happened in Cleveland here and here.

Fast forward to today. What I witnessed today in Cleveland, Ohio, the home of the 2016 Trumpcult convention, was nothing short of disgusting. Kendal Unruh, Senator Mike Lee, Ken Cuccinelli and Morton Blackwell were leading a fight to change the rules to tip the balance of power in future elections back toward conservative states and remove the power from the party in DC. The establishment in DC is so afraid grassroots voters, of people who want to limit government power, that they will do anything to suppress our votes. We've become the useful minority to them. They kiss up to us when they need our votes and suppress our voices at all other times.

I am done with the GOP. All of my efforts in the political arena will be toward ending the Republican Party and starting a new conservative party. We must bring the Liberty Movement, the actual Bible believing churches, the conservative Jewish coalition, free market types and those who just want to be left alone together. To be sure, the virus that is Trumpism has infected many people who are uneducated or members of a perceived victim class. They will have to be defeated or educated. One or the other.

I can actually see 4 political parties emerging from this mess. I see a far left Socialist party, a mainstream leftwing Democrat party, a corporatist/thug Republican party and a Conservative Party. If we can regularly have 4 major nominees a 35% share of the vote could win and govern. I see this as the only true way forward. Form alliances in Congress where we can and stand up to all big government forces where we must.

One thing is for sure. I have just begun to fight. I'm reminded of a verse in the Bible

Ephesians 6:12King James Version (KJV)

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

We must stand up and make our voices heard. Even little old me was able to get a hashtag to trend today. #EuthanizeTheGOP now appears in the Twitter algorithm. We must stop being stooges to people who hate us, who hate our values of ordered liberty, free market economics, and small government. If any party was ever deserving of a mercy killing, it is the Republican Party.

If you are reading this, I invite you to join me. Comment below, email me, find me on Twitter or Facebook and lets get rolling on this mission to wrest control away from Washington, DC and the corrupt Washington Cartel. We are faced with a very tough 4 year stretch. We must get to work.

A news update came after I published this post. A pro Trump fundraiser and activist was so disgusted with what happened today that he resigned from the fundraising group he was part of. Ain't unity great!

Separate Yourself

Today, as I sat in church, the gravity of our place in history hit me right between the eyes.

Never before has the United States of America faced such a dim and horrible choice as what sits before us in this election season. That is why I'm here to offer a word of hope. Before you deride me, know this; I believe Christians should be involved in government and should actively seek office at all levels of government.

This is where my message of hope comes in. As it currently stands, there are no candidates for president worthy of a Bible believing Christian's vote. I believe a vote is an endorsement of what a candidate brings to the table. We are left with wicked and vile candidates. Christians should choose None of the Above. Instead, Christians must start living everyday for Jesus, just like it might be our last day on earth and what we did that day would have a lasting effect on who made it to heaven, because it just might.

Be understanding to the person waiting on you in the store or at a restaurant. They might just need someone to offer a word of encouragement. Be patient with those around you. Offer a helping hand. Pray unceasingly.

In the way of activism, I believe we must never stop speaking publicly to the truths put forward in the Bible. When worldly and godless people deride you, step up your speaking, don't back down. When civil government threatens to push back the teachings of the word of God, be prepared to offer up a message of love(not squishy, emotional love, but love of truth in Jesus). Don't be afraid of what may be said about you. Be consistent in your message. Don't be worried that you may offend someone. That person who takes offense to your words is likely the person who needs to hear the message the most.

Too many times, as Christians, we've decided that being kind is being what ever the world wants us to be so as to not offend anyone. We must stop this way of thinking. Being kind involves being firm in our reliance on God's plan even when it runs contrary to what the prevailing culture says is the way to go.

What I'm trying to get across is our need to take the message of Jesus to the world while living in a way that isn't of the world. We must be separated from the culture of vileness and wickedness. We must be willing to walk the narrow path even when we are told we aren't cool or hip. Just because some people have decided to replace God with anger, pride or envy, we must resist the temptation to do so. Be firm in your reliance on God.

Finally, pray for our nation.
