WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Christian Conservatives Suffering Abused Spouse Syndrome By Chuck Baldwin August 4, 2000 Two recent reports from the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia really caught my eye. A Chicago Tribune story begins, "Social conservatives, banned from the spotlight of the Republican National Convention, gathered to pay tribute to their own Wednesday at a public hall miles away from the arena where the party is showcasing its more mainstream speakers." Next, a Scripps-McClatchy Western Service report begins, "Christian conservatives tuning into the Republican National Convention this week – even gavel-to-gavel coverage on cable – have heard next to nothing from the podium speakers about the core issues that have galvanized them into a political force over the past two decades." For a man who is noted to wear his religion on his sleeves, King George has certainly given his fellow believers the royal snub. Pro-abortion Colin Powell is preferred over America’s most articulate pro-life statesman, Alan Keyes. At the same time, in order to demonstrate to the world that Dubya is "tolerant" and "compassionate," Rep. Jim Kolbe, an out-of-the-closet homosexual, was invited to address convention delegates. Nowhere to be seen is Gary Bauer or even Steve Forbes. It’s like social conservatives have a communicable disease and have all been quarantined. In spite of this rudeness, Christian conservatives continue to sing the praises of the Republican Party. This situation reminds me of the poor wife who continues to stand by her abusive husband. When confronted with the ill treatment being inflicted upon her, she responds, "Where can I go?" She is more afraid of being alone than she is of being with a tyrant-husband. It was an unholy marriage to begin with, this marriage between Christian conservatives and the Republican Party. We couldn’t see the dangers of it back in 1980 because the groom was an articulate, principled conservative who openly embraced the fundamental tenets and ideals of conservatism. Not only did he give conservatives a place at the table, but also he put us at the head of the table. We were instantly spoiled! It is that hallowed position that Christian conservatives are salivating over. They have been put out of the palace, and they desperately want back in! It’s hard to enjoy bread and water after having tasted steak and shrimp. There is one little problem: G. W. Bush is no Ronald Reagan! As this convention demonstrates, Christian conservatives will only be given the crumbs from this "new kind of Republican." And just like that abused wife, when confronted with this reality, they reply, "Where can we go?" Where we can go is to the same place our Founding Fathers went: straight into the arms of the all-powerful God! Conservative Christians are looking in the wrong place for deliverance. We should do what American patriots have always done: take our stand for principle and truth and let the chips fall where they may! If every Christian in this country would do what his conscience tells him to do and would stop worrying about what the political pundits say, we might find that God is willing to do for us what he did for our fathers. However, since it doesn’t appear that this will soon take place, Christian conservatives should expect to eat more leeks and garlic, a Bush administration notwithstanding. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
