Why the Country Will Go 'Democrat' In Order to Move Forward . . .

King Edward, 11th century A.D. King of England, is one of the great rulers in Christian History. Under St. Edward, cathedrals were built, England was unified, and although conquered shortly after his reign in 1066 A.D. to William the Conqueror, nonetheless preserved England's distinctive heritage as a people and as a Christian land (they just probably spoke a little bit more French at the royal court! :-)

Similarly, although the Republican Party has many merits, for example, a general trend of Pro-Life voting (not uniform), a greater emphasis on economic prosperity and usually a strong Voice of the Evangelical Right and the Conservative Catholic wing of the Republican Party, sadly, due to its stand on several issues, it is time that a Democrat was back in the White House.

First, sadly, rather than focusing on Pro-Life issues, Religious Freedom, or even economic prosperity, through the vocal stands of front-runner Mitt Romney, the emphasis has shifted to barring illegal immigration to the point that it is now a "witch-hunt" against Mexican culture itself.

Second, although a strong military is needed by the U.S. in order to safeguard a high standard of living, the gradual erosion of our military through an under-funded, un-supported War in Iraq has led to a weakening, rather than a strengthening of our National Defense. While our American soldiers dodge pipe-bombs in Baghdad, sadly, China, N. Korea and other nations opposed to the U.S. grow more powerful militarily.

Third, the American Family is utterly decimated. The response of a Family Values candidate would be wonderful, but sadly, anti-Hispanic sentiment and proliferating an ill-conceived war in Iraq dominates Republican thinking at the moment. A Democrat, although needing to be corrected on the Pro-Life issue, would likely return the focus to helping women and children devastated by divorce, while also being a Father's Rights advocate in Divorce and Custody issues. Equal time for each parent. Equal custody legally for each parent. Republicans seem little interested in such issues, and so, Democrats will win the war for rebuilding the American Family.

There you have it. A Democrat is due in the White House.

Blessings in Jesus,
Rob J. King, Pro-Family, Pro-Life, Pro-Military
