Differences in Conservatives and Liberals

Let me share a couple of observations.

Many liberals will claim to believe in God, and be against abortion, and be for gun rights (some of them), but then declare, "But, I don't want that crammed down my throat." HUH?
Conversely, conservatives don't want things they DON'T BELIEVE IN crammed down their throats.
Liberals will embrace things they claim not to believe in (socialism, abortion, gun control, punitive taxes) and shun things they do claim to believe in (God, sanctity of life, capitalism, and the American Dream, the Constitution).
Conservatives will embrace (or cling to) things they do believe in (God, sanctity of life, capitalism, and the American Dream, the Constitution) and shun things they don't believe in(socialism, abortion, gun control, punitive taxes).

So America, let's decide what we believe, throw it out in the open, demand the candidates be truthful about what they believe, and vote for our values! There is a truth gap opening between the two campaigns that reveals much more than differences in character between the candidates.
John 8:44 says, "You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

Who does that remind you of? Maybe it sounds like the man who says we are all our brother's keeper, but his brother lives in a hut in Africa. Maybe it sounds like the man who says he is against abortion, but voted to require doctors to deny care to babies who survived abortion. Or maybe it sounds like the man who says we must do more to help the poor, but has given less than 1/10th of 1 percent of his income to charity.

I expect no candidate to be perfect in reciting facts and figures, but there is an undeniable pattern of intentional deceit and hypocrisy on one side.

You can always recognize a liberal trying to masquerade as a moderate conservative when they start using tortured logic to explain why they are not conservative on a specific issue or during this specific presidential election. They are being deceived by the father of lies and those who have abandoned the truth. I am not going with any of these people as they abandon the truth, but have my eyes open to the fact that they are not as wise, strong, or Godly as we thought them to be.

For my brother and sister Christians, read the Word and believe what God has told us. This will resolve those conflicts within you about your political ideology. Draw close to God and do not compromise on what you believe and do not be ashamed of your vote. I know people don't like to talk about their sins in church and wonder if that is why some people won't talk about their vote in church. It really is hard to defend sin in the House of God.
