Never Mind Principles – Just Get Elected

Here’s a line from a FoxNews story by a so called conservative which pinpoints what the term RINO means. The idea was expressed by Steve Schmidt, former top advisor to John McCain during the last presidential campaign. Mr. Schmidt was talking before the convention for “Log Cabin Republicans, a grassroots group of gay and lesbians”.

With advisors like this you can see why so many real conservative Republicans were not thrilled with John McCain heading the presidential ticket in the last election; after all, you are known by the company you keep. If you take that to the natural next level, what does that say about Barrack Obama’s close knit company of friends?

Steve Schmidt pointed out, “If you put public policy issues to a religious test, you risk becoming a religious party,” he said. “And in a free country a political party cannot be viable in the long-term if it is seen as a sectarian party.”

I suppose what Steve Schmidt is really trying to say, “Never mind the principles which define conservatives; try to get along with everyone regardless of how you really feel about their particular state of degeneracy and you might get elected in spite of the “R” next to your name on the ballot.”

It could be said, in a more common tone, “You really don’t believe all the crap in the Bible, now do you?” The average person starts to get a little annoyed when you start trashing their most basic beliefs, “ You believe in God, oh give me a break ; you still believe in eternal consequences for your actions too?”

There has been a concerted effort to separate religious foundations from America for as long as I’ve been alive. However hard the godless try they cannot understand that having solid core values rooted in the Bible does not disqualify a person from being elected to any office here in the United States of America. To the contrary, being of strong character should be one of the first and maybe the most important qualifying test for folks entering into the service of their fellow beings .

I’ll tell you this Steve Schmidt, I believe in God, that Being mentioned in the Declaration of Independence as the Creator. I believe in eternal consequences for my actions and I really do believe the principles taught in the Scriptures are the foundations of our country.

I believe that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that deviant behavior through gay and lesbian relations is an abomination which destroys individuals who chose to participate. The lessons taught regarding Sodom and Gomorrah or any other principles of righteous living are as pertinent today as they were thousands of years ago.


The “in your face” confrontational gay and lesbian politics of the left are an affront to God and have no place in this nation, a nation which He established through divine inspiration given our Founding Fathers. The outspoken gay and lesbian’s efforts serve to identify those who clearly have decided to follow the temptations offered by Satan, which temptations serve to thwart those trying to be obedient to God’s Plan of Happiness .

While I sympathize for individuals involved in self destructive behavior I cannot condone their efforts to inflict such a deplorable state of living upon the rest of our society through legislative alterations or judicial actions intended to destroy the fabric of a God serving public.

In short, I’m one of those radical right wing conservatives Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano fears; the kind of person who poses a real danger to the current administration because I refuse to sit back and let morally corrupted individuals such as Steve Schmidt speak for the real grass roots conservatives. I’m not looking to be popular and my line is drawn in the sand without apology.
