I Was Raised A Yellow Dog Democrat-No more

I was raised a Yellow Dog Democrat.  I will not vote Democratic now.  The first reason is the democratic establishment has decided that abortion rights are the premier cause in their platform.  Abortion is unkind.  It is the willing killing of another human.  It is often not the mother’s fault because the Democratic-led public culture dehumanizes the child and gives sainthood to the woman's right over her child. This is one of the most destructive and heinous realities of American life.   Great public culture should be where we accept the fact that many pregnancies are unplanned and often unwanted and provide loving care for both the mother and child and then inexpensive and quick methods by which the child at birth is placed in a loving home.  Instead, because of power, greed, and wanton unkindness we have allowed for a culture of killing our most valuable members, thriving children, to become a right so sacred the democratic party sees it as paramount to all other rights.  The second reason is too many of the leaders of the democratic party see my God as having no place in public life and increasing in private as well. They are actually ashamed of God.  Embarrassed by Him.  So embarrassed and ashamed they believe He is not.  This has led a vast number of young Americans to give up God for cultural relevancy.  They see a culture and the democratic party as increasingly intolerant of personal faith in a living God.  Their only alternative to living and thriving in America is to walk in lockstep with this belief.  Any other belief is unacceptable.  Lastly, I was raised in a youth culture that held government as highly suspect, often untrustworthy, unkind, and out of touch with the common man.  Today many of those who were raised in the same way see the democratic party government as the only winning team, the affirmed leader in culture, the supreme voice of truth.  This is the great falsehood I was taught early in life.  The government is never the final bar of truth but is actually never to be trusted to be truthful.  We are to guard the government, not for its survival, but to keep it from destroying ours.  I see the democratic party determined to place us all under government control and willing to cancel anyone who thinks, expresses, or acts outside their prescribed way of thinking, doing, and being.
