Say, are you a Democrat?

I just tried to add Democrat Howard Dean to my list of On-Line "Facebook" friends.

Seeing as how the G.O.P. is not responding very well to its Christian constituency, I figured, why not? Let me just find some good Jimmy Carter Evangelical and Catholic Democrats and then see which way the proverbial 'cookie crumbles.'

I already found one such 'friend' in University of Phoenix alumnus Chad Lupkes, a faithful Father and husband, a true "family values" type guy.

I also have a close friend (big fan of Howard Dean) who is this big Southern Baptist guy who went to Harvard for his master's degree (Duke is better obviously!) and who is similarly 'Democrat through and through . . .'

Finally, my Dad, although fairly apolitical (we are a career military family, but I was a 'dependant' of a military retired man obviously) was nonetheless a life-long Democrat (who similarly eventually voted for Bush over the Christian issues that his Pentecostal preacher made him more aware of . . .).

So, although I definitely view abortion as one of the greatest moral evils to ever exist, my hope and prayer in Jesus Christ's Name is that bit by bit that side of the Democrat family tree will eventually utilize good old rational secular thought and see how the biological details of babies in utero compel us as a People to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Let's pray for the future. From abortion to unjust wars to medicaid to homelessness protection, perhaps the Democrats are ready for good Jimmy Carter fans to return to the political fold.

U-Tubes, Police brutality & libertarian anarchists

Yesterday was quite the scene in downtown St. Petersburg. Following work, I walked to the Publix grocery store near my house (I live in down-town St. Petersburg), and as I was walking back, I noticed that in front of the Republican National Presidential debates (U-Tube and CNN) there were numerous placard-carrying homeless protesters vying for media attention and chanting "Homelessness is not a crime."

"Homelessness is not a crime."

Just imagine that. The Son of Man, Jesus Christ was a homeless man by the way.

Now, in St. Petersburg, at the height of pre-campaign battles, the G.O.P. (generally not the political party of the poor, the migrant, the true Christian) is brought into national focus with homeless men & women chanting that their status is not intrinsically a crime.

Go figure. The Party of Abe Lincoln now represents corporate power, not helping the poor, and is generally antagonistic to Mexicans . . .

But, on the other side of the G.O.P. looms a funnier threat, the anarchist Libertarians who basically want to hunker down with assault rifles while refusing to pay their income tax (Jesus Christ said about taxation, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's" which means to pay your darn taxes you bunch of gun-toating, deer huntin' white boys!). Yes, I do like Ron Paul and yes I do like Libertarians, but abolish the I.R.S., come on! We'd all be driving in horse drawn carriages and living with kerosene lanterns if basic infrastructure is compromised all in the interests of 'limited government.'

Nope, I am a true-blue Jimmy Carter Democrat now . . . Give me that old-timey "nanny state!" ;-) You see, as much as we Americans don't like to bathe, live in houses or pay our taxes (Libertarians! Republicans at least bathe!), when the corporate elites start down-sizing and sending our work to China, guess what, unemployment benefits actually keep the economy even running!

So, no, conservatives, your answer only produces societal squalor. The economy actually did MUCH better under Clinton, remember?

Well, here I stand. PRO-LIFE, PRO-FAMILY, PRO-MILITARY

Love in Jesus Christ,
Rob J. King, for a healthy, wealthy Federal Reserve (let the Libertarians hunt deer for their food and move to Montana, but please don't let Ron Paul run the country!)

Putting the Moves on PEOPLE

Lately I have been thinking about sex. I just wrote a Campaigns Wikia article entitled "Sex Strangely Considered" in which I argue for the normativity of heterosexuality. One person really went ballistic, but then calmed down and we could engage in a rational dialogue.

One of the main problems that I have seen with homosexuality (case studies are not what I am talking about!) is that there seems to be a certain tendency of homosexuals to lack self-restraint. I have had a gay professor reference my male genitalia in a Divinity School bathroom, countless gay men either touch me without invitation and even one old gay man who actively propositions people in the public park close to my home.

Greek philosophers talked significantly about "erotic behavior," largely because they were so heavily engaged in it, heterosexual OR homosexual.

Greeks largely wanted a 'civilized' society and so wrote endlessly about Virtue and the need for 'moderation' in all things.

Sadly, when judged by the standards of ancient Greek PAGAN society (or at least the best of it!) our own nation has become so decadent that our own whips & chains homosexual underground would be even outside of GREEK PAGAN NORMS.

So, there we have it. I pray for REVIVAL in JESUS CHRIST'S NAME. Without it, our nation will fall just as the roman empire once fell (also due to its decadence, but eventually making room for Christian Rule).
