We saw a Republican comeback on Tuesday as the votes were counted across the country. Some very good conservative minded candidates won. That is great news! In South Dakota Republicans held on tightly to its majority status. Some liberal Democrats were unseated. That’s great news!
But before we start dancing in the streets, let’s take a closer look. Does a Republican win in South Dakota mean we are going in the right direction? I haven’t yet done the math to see who CONTROLS the Republican Party, but conservative Christians should not claim victory at this moment.
The Republican Party is filled with “liberal” Republicans…in South Dakota. Republicans who support the killing of human embryos in the name of research, support abortion in many or all circumstances, embrace higher taxes, promote more government regulation and control, insist on spending MORE money, believe that marriage is not a sacred union of a man and a woman, want to remove God from every part of government, look to the Federal Government to “bail us out” (with our grandchildren’s money) and look at Tea Party members and Christians as fringe lunatics. Many of these Republicans not only won, they ran unopposed.
The only thing worse than losing, is THINKING you won when you really lost. We can now go quietly back to sleep and believe that everything will “be all better”. NOT!!! Now is a time for Christians to WAKE UP and see the real plight of our state and our nation. We are in serious trouble. We need God now more than ever.
Did Americans in South Dakota and across the country really win?
