Political Affiliation: Republican Constitutionalist Libertarian

Ok I’m frustrated, angry even. Is there no Republican who has a sense of morality or values? Where is our leadership?

I thought we had hit bottom with the nomination of John McCain. Sadly, it seems, we still have a long, long way to go.

CNN: Gov. Sanford steps out on wife, duties as Governor, for week long extra-martial affair in Argentina.

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

To make matters worse, he was one of a very-few handful of Republican Party leaders who had the courage and conviction to truly stand up and fight the bailouts and stimulus spending.

Every single time we start to find a political stride, rebuild our message and return to our values this happens. I am not saying we need to be judgmental, or even moralistic. But what I am saying is this: do we really have time for all this corruption, greed, arrogance, graff and adultery?

Sanford… I saw him as 2012 Presidential material. I thought he might stand a chance to unite the libertarian and conservative wings of the Republican party. I thought he could satisfy both the Palin and Paul supporters who remain locked-in to their candidates (myself, being a Pauler, included).

SANFORD: WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY FROM THE PERILS OF FINANCIAL RUIN AND SOCIALISM AND YOU SEE FIT TO STEP OUT ON YOUR WIFE, YOUR DUTIES AS GOVERNOR, FOR A LUSTY HIKING TRIP?

Uggh…

I wonder if it’s a setup. A compelling case could be made for targeted political character-assassinations against those who are fighting socialism, the bailouts and tyranny. But still, that’s no excuse.

We need men to be men. We need Christians to follow Christ. Our resolve, being tested mightily, needs to be the strongest it has ever been. We cannot let these trifles to enter our lives, not now, not ever. Men: every act against your duties as a man, a father and a husband makes our burdens greater and weakens our resolve. There can be no place for this, far, far too much is stake. Perfection must be our goal, both personally and politically. Now is the time that everything must be on the table, nothing held back.

We must be reminded that our Lord God has promised corruption and tyranny to all who stray from His ideals:

“But you, O God, will bring down the wicked

into the pit of corruption;

bloodthirsty and deceitful men

will not live our half their days.

But as for me, I trust in you.”  (Psalm 55:23)

I have called for repentance before. I repeat that call today.

Let us return to the Constitution. Let us return to Liberty and Freedom. Let us mean it when we say that our ideals are limited government, smaller taxation and personal freedom. Let us be men of such wisdom and character that we earn our way to lead this nation out of the wilderness. Let us make our hope that divinely inspired document, the Constitution.
