have made the arguement many times.
McCain vs Ragan, who is the "greater evil"?? McCain of course...Carter vs Obama, who is the "greater evil"? Obama of course...continuing to :scared2: the "other guy" and vote lesser of evils has given us in 2008 McCain and Obama....
Continue on that path and in the next 5,10,20 yrs, Obama will look the lesser of evils to whoever, GOP and Dem come after him....
see where that thinking leads!
ALso, this continous "lesser 2 evils" is a cyclonic, locked in death-you are trapped in the cyclone and never land, never get out of it and continue whipping around to destruction.
The lesser evil never actually advances an agenda, just a downward spiral to "stop the other guy" , the next boogeyman...when do we finally advance an agenda, instead of playing a stop=gap against the next boogeyman??
Ousset's book "Action" and others note that for Catholics, we need to think outside the box and actually advance a Catholic agenda.....cannot do that in voting McCain or Obama to "stop" the other....
Think, too, about the 1850's-the WHigs were hopelessly divided and many had the courage to go to teh GOP (though, most GOP leaders were wealthy and prior, Whigs), yet teh GOP looked like a new alternative. Sure, they started out small and ran candidates for awhile that were up against the Big Box parties of Whigs and Democrats....sure they ran a candidate in 1856 that "took votes" from the others and led to a Democrat, James Buchanan being elected..but. in the end, they continued to build a new Party and not dwell on "what ifs" and "lost votes" theories...
In the end, they still did nto get the majority vote in 1860, but they-the GOP that is-was on the roll and they are still on top.
Catholcis-indeed all people, need to stop the fear, advance an agenda and be willing to loose a election or 2.The world will not end, unless God will it after all and He is in charge!
We are now near 2 yrs into Obama, many bad things going on to be sure, but then again, same during GW Bush and we are all still here...There is still hope, true hope, of reversing things. Or at least, getting in place to re-build.
Voting Obama or McCain was sinful,as both were pro-aborts, just one slightly more than the other...both corrupt and guided by Kissinger, Brezinski,et al (NWO) nd both were open to ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, foreign, undlecarled and never ending wars..Whether one wanted 100% abortions or in favor of 90% of them, no real difference, fora great sin continues and neither committed to ending that practice.
Baldwin was committed to ending the 'wars" and stopping abortion (and the Fed, march of Homos,RU 486, abortificients,etc).
In the end, Catholic need to advance an agenda, not just keep swirling in that cyclone or in Bishop Sheens words, going down the river ( "It is a dead body that floats downstream, it takes a live body to resist the current and swim upstream!"). Both McCain and Obama wanted to continue shedding innocent blood, scripture is full of warnings against that!!!
again, read what a Protestant had to say about the lesser evils, he was right in many ways:
http://lostrepublic.org/art001.htmIt is time to stop supporting big box Parties by either voting smaller parties at times, not voting at all or forming Catholic groups commited to change, in and outside of the political spectrum.
as to Pat, read and reserach the podcasts and articles posted at the American view website, a site that used to be hosted in part by Michael Peroutka and still, Calvinist John Lofton-both talked about Buchanan.
Lofton is a friend of more than 30 yrs of Buchanan...Look and listen in chronilogical order.
They have snippets, cite articles,etc...
Here is their site (again, not Catholic, though often, they make valid points and do the citations and research)
