Being 'Conservative' AND Democrat . . .

Generally when one thinks of the word 'conservative' one immediately begins to label one a Republican. But is this necessarily the case?

I am pro-life, and against the homosexual agenda infiltrating our school systems and society at large, but when 'tested' on a Facebook political test, I came out as a 'liberal . . .'

Pope Benedict XVI and Nelson Mandela were the two closest world political figures to me on the supposed 'left' side of the spectrum.

But does this mean that it is 'liberal'?

Well, the Pope is Pro-Life and obviously any Catholic is against homosexuality as a violation of the Natural Law (men and men or women and women are not supposed to 'mate' with each other--even the lizards and the dogs know this!). But the Pope was listed as a 'liberal . . .'

BUT, having noted Facebook's propensity to come up with clever tests for anything from Movie Trivia to even putting me in touch with Howard Dean (Democratic Party Chair and a Faecbook 'Friend' . . .), here I am a CONSERVATIVE Democrat who is BOTH LIBERAL (Worker's RIGHTS . . .) while also being CONSERVATIVE (Pro-Life, anti-socialist governments, etc. . . .).

But, people like putting labels on me, and as such, how about just calling me "Mr. Wildcat . . ." Davidson College did, after all, end up as the top Cinderella story in this year's basketball tournament (eventually losing to Kansas, a #1 seed in the Elite Eight, and ONLY by two points . . .). From a Davidson College Offensive Lineman to Methodist Pastor to now a Political Activist and Professor of Applied Ethics and World Religion, I owe it ALL to the LORD GOD's PROVIDENTIAL ORDERING of my life, and a quite formative part of which was at Presbyterian-related Davidson College. Yes, yes, I am a Pope Benedict XVI Catholic through and through, but it was the small, basketball gem of a school called Davidson College that taught me to write, to research, and to pull ALL-NIGHTERS to meet a deadline . . .

From Criticism to Constuctivism: Barack the New Prez???

I just read a Newsmax headline that was already using the phrase "President elect Obama . . ."

Now to be fair to Barack Obama, I actually agree with him on a couple of key points.

First, Obama and I agree that U.S. troops in Iraq should be brought home!

Second, Obama and I agree that a black man should serve in the White House!

Now that we are agreed on this, and to be frank, if an African American is what the voters desire, then someone like Alan Keyes (http://www.alankeyes.com/) should serve as President. Alan is intelligent, a strong PRO-LIFER who wishes to PROTECT the lives of babies in utero, and simply a better choice (I actually receive Keyes' mailings on a regular basis).

But, rather than supporting a GOOD man like Keyes (G.O.P. side), the Iowa voters were duped by Obama's charm and good looks. Give me a break . . .

Whistle-blowers, You-Tube and the New American Election

Friends, I just received in the mail yesterday my "official" change of Party designation (and change of address) Voter's I.D. card for the State of Florida! It reads . . . "DEMOCRAT"

So, why did I go the direction of the Democratic Party?

The answer ranges from concern for the poor, promoting a sustainable living wage, concern about racism in the G.O.P. to, sadly, and most of all, my personal experience with and increasing knowledge of MILITARY CORRUPTION!

I have seen Military Officers who have almost been forced out for a variety of illegal reasons, I have 'wondered' about Government cover-up in everything ranging from the Pat Tillman fratricide case (shot by his own fellow soldiers . . .) to now, today, I have learned of billions of dollars that have been 'lost' somehow in the reconstruction efforts to re-build Iraq. PLEASE READ THIS LINK!!! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20430153 (PLEASE CLICK).

I have even gone so far as to write Senate Judiciary Chair, Patrick Leahy to inform him about the abuse and cover-up that I have personally witnessed.

But, the 'power' of the corrupt is still ever-difficult to 'track.'

For every whistle-blower there are behind the scenes maneuvers, likely shredding of documents and an attempt to eradicate anyone and everyone who stands and FIGHTS for Constitutional LIBERTY! It is for this reason that, although Ron Paul cannot make a good President, really, the only options left at this point politically are the libertarians who stay loyal to the Constitution and the Democratic Party as led by Senator Leahy . . .

Friends, won't you join this new move politically?

All that I ask is that you STAND FIRM for TRUTH.

If you want to support, just send me an e-mail at kuriosiesuschristos@abidinglifephoenix.com.

Evil can only advance when GOOD does nothing. Please do not let this happen!

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.
