This country is in a constitutional and moral crisis and blind loyalty to the Republican Party has a lot to do with the problem. We have got to stop supporting a candidate just because he or she has an "R" before his or her name. The Republican platform is great, but if the Republicans only give it lip service, what good is it? Truth is the Christians who blindly support Republicanism over righteousness have blood all over their hands.

It is the moral and biblical duty of Christians to choose representatives of great moral character who fear God. It is then our job to support them in prayer and stand with them when they are persecuted. And when they become weak and want to compromise we hold their feet to the fire. If their fruit is different than their talk then we need to fire them and elect a new Christian.

Noah Webster stated "When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers 'just men who will rule in the fear of God.' The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made not for the public good so much as for the selfish or local purposes; Corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a Republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws."

We must put the blame at the feet of Christians for the crisis we find ourselves in today. The Republican Party is not going save America. And blind loyalty to it is destroying us. The party has been infiltrated with baby killers, sodomites, promoters of fornication, big government socialists, big spending money grubbers, and anti-gun Marxists just to name a few. This blind loyalty has given the politician a blank check to do what ever he wants. He knows that no one will know or really care because it is all about winning.

To most Christians the elections are just about winning, not truth and righteousness. They have no idea how the candidate stands on the issues. Some are naive enough to think that because they are Republicans that they stand on the Republican platform. There is hardly a Republican out there that will write legislation to end the genocide of Americans let alone to monitor the abortion industry. Most every Republican I have interviewed believes in civil unions with benefits using tax money. Not a one I know has tried to impeach a tyrannical judge let alone reign in his jurisdictio.

Both parties are taking us to a New World Order at mach speed while the "see no evil, hear no evil" Christians do nothing. This blind loyalty has gone to such an extreme that if anyone mentions something negative about a Republican politician, the Christians attack the messenger. They have forgotten that God says to stand for righteousness not Republicanism. Or maybe their preachers have never bothered to mention it.

If Christians are not salt and light, they are good for nothing. Every Christian will give an account on how he governed in this constitutional republic. What will the Lord Jesus Christ say, "Well done my good and faithful servant" or "their blood will I require at your hands"?

It is well past time to be loyal to Christ instead of the Republican Party and stand for righteousness. It is time for a third party; the Constitution Party is the one I have in mind. Check out their party platform and their candidates and you will see a big difference. Maybe if we practice tough love the Republican Party would repent and come back to its platform. But if not, duty is duty. Let righteousness ring!
