Yes.

Godly worldview = Biblical worldview

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6 (New King James Version)

Did God approve of this message?

It wasn’t a breakdown. You haven’t been paying attention.

On the day after Roger Waters said this:

Hey RedPill guy,
Be careful when you cross the street because when you eventually die…… you are going to burn in hell…along with Huckabee and Stalin.
amen and amen
Roger Waters on February 13, 2008 at 5:33 PM

On the day after Roger Waters said this:

Hey Skid-(mark),
RedPill is a witness for Christ? I hope for Christ’s sake that you are joking. The REAL Jesus would spew that child of hell out of his mouth faster than vomit.
1) Christ lives.
2) Heavenly Father is good news.
3) RedPill is a child of Satan who will burn baby burn.
Just saying…
Cheers.
Roger Waters on February 13, 2008 at 9:31 PM

On the same day that Michelle ran this:

Fight sharia: Celebrate Valentine’s Day; Update: Burn, baby, burn

On the same day that war was declared against Israel and I pointed out that the next President of the United States supports Israel…

I (not Roger Waters, but I) was silenced on HotAir.com.

I thank God that Ed Morrissey’s arrival at Hot Air gave me a chance to get my voice back.

Let’s hope sharia doesn’t return to Hot Air. If it does, however, and my Godly worldview of current events is silenced again, I will start blogging on my own blog.

But keep in mind that silencing me would only prove me right. Again.

I leave you with a quote from a rational Hot Air reader, (not one of the plethora of nasty ones who can’t seem to debate without getting vile):

I just want to tell everyone to relax. ITookTheRedPill is great! Never gets vile, never gets depressing, never attacks on a personal level, never is boring. And he is a blast!

Lastly but most importantly, is a witness for Christ. Many people may not like that, but Christ lives and RedPill is a happily adopted child, bringing the Good News from his Heavenly Father.

Amen.

Welcome back redpill. I was seriously concerned after your breakdown following the Potamac primaries – glad that you are still in the game.

Looking forward to tonite’s events. I have a feeling that Tax Hike Mike, the friend of violent criminals and one of the 10 most corrupt US politicians is going to struggle.

Conservatives in the UK thought this as well and now the Thatcherites are completely marginalized.

Indy Conservative on March 4, 2008 at 8:28 AM

Your binary logic is flawed. There are four candidates still in the race, not two.

I think you and I agree that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. is not a good choice.

You and I clearly agree that John Sidney McCain III is not a good choice.

That leaves two candidates remaining, of which you think Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton is the best choice for conservatives. I strongly disagree with you here, as I think it is clear that Michael Dale Huckabee is a far better choice.

1) The Supreme Court. We have 4 justices on the court with whom most conservatives agree: Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Clarence Thomas, and Justice Samuel Alito. The other five justices are 68 years old or older. The probability of one or more of those five justices dying or retiring in the next 4 years is very high…especially if they can retire and be replaced by a Democrat president.

Clinton and Obama both voted against the confirmation of both Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito.

Mike Huckabee has committed in writing that:

As president, I will appoint justices and judges who not only share my judicial philosophy ( e.g., Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Clarence Thomas, and Justice Samuel Alito), but who also have established themselves within the conservative legal community as faithful adherents of originalism and textualism. The stakes are simply too high to do otherwise.

Mike Huckabee is the clear choice for conservatives.

2) Border Security. Clinton and Obama are now against the Secure Fence Act they both voted for.

Mike Huckabee has committed in writing to:

Ensure that the border fence construction is completed by July 1, 2010.

Mike Huckabee is the clear choice for conservatives.

3) Sanctity of Life. Clinton voted “NAY” on the bill to prohibit the procedure commonly known as partial-birth abortion.

In other words, Hillary believes it is perfectly OK to take a full-term baby and kill it when it is partially born.

Mike Huckabee has committed in writing:

I support and have always supported passage of a constitutional amendment to protect the right to life. My convictions regarding the sanctity of life have always been
clear and consistent, without equivocation or wavering. I believe that Roe v. Wade should be over-turned.

I applaud the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Gonzales v. Carhart forbidding the gruesome practice of partial birth abortion. While I am optimistic that we
are turning the tide in favor of life, we still have many battles ahead of us to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and so it is vital that we elect a pro-life President.

Mike Huckabee is the clear choice for conservatives.

4) Taxes. Both Clinton and Obama would let the Bush Tax Cuts expire, and replace them with their own redistribution of wealth plans, giving larger tax breaks and credits to the people who already pay the least taxes.

As Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee cut taxes and fees almost 100 times, saving the taxpayers almost $380 million. He left a surplus of nearly $850 million, which he urged should go back to the people.

Mike Huckabee has committed in writing:

I support the FairTax.
To control spending, I believe the President should have the line-item veto.
I support making the Bush tax cuts (set to expire in 2010) permanent.

I’d like you to join me at the best “Going Out of Business” sale I can imagine – one held by the Internal Revenue Service. Am I running for president to shut down the federal government? Not exactly. But I am running to completely eliminate all federal income and payroll taxes. And I do mean all – personal federal, corporate federal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment. All our hours filling out forms, all our payments for help with those forms, all our shopping bags filled with disorganized receipts, all our headaches and heartburn from tax stress will vanish. Instead we will have the FairTax, a simple tax based on wealth. When the FairTax becomes law, it will be like waving a magic wand releasing us from pain and unfairness.

The FairTax will replace the Internal Revenue Code with a consumption tax, like the taxes on retail sales forty-five states and the District of Columbia have now. All of us will get a monthly rebate that will reimburse us for taxes on purchases up to the poverty line, so that we’re not taxed on necessities. That means people below the poverty line won’t be taxed at all. We’ll be taxed on what we decide to buy, not what we happen to earn. We won’t be taxed on what we choose to save or the interest those savings earn. The tax will apply only to new goods, so we can reduce our taxes further by buying a used car or computer.

Our current progressive tax system penalizes us for working harder and becoming more successful. As we climb the ladder, the government lurks on each rung, hungry for a bigger bite out of our earnings. The FairTax is also progressive, but it doesn’t punish the American dream of success, or the old-fashioned virtues of hard work and thrift, it rewards and encourages them. The FairTax isn’t intended to raise any more or less money for the federal government to spend – it is revenue neutral.

Mike Huckabee is the clear choice for conservatives.

Put down the bong.

This from a previous post at Captain’s Quarters:

“The ascent of John McCain to the apparent Republican nomination has discouraged some conservatives, who have expressed a willingness to sit out 2008 and let a Democrat win the White House. They claim, hyperbolically, that no real policy differences exist between McCain and either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, and that having a Democrat take the blame for the coming debacle will make it easier to elect Republicans later.”

Anyone who makes and believes that statement is not a conservative. What they are instead are brain dead. To not see a measurable difference between Clinton/Obama and McCain speaks to their qualities as imbeciles. While John McCain was my fourth choice, with Rudy being first, McCain with all his warts-ugly as they are-is on a bad day a better candidate than the dems are putting forward. In fact as Obama etal keep talking it is not a stretch to imagine a majority of independents voting for McCain. Obama has forced Hillary to the extreme left where she did not want to campaign. If her original strategy had worked she would have been running as a centrist and the dems would have won the election 53/47ish. Now they have a good chance of losing. McCain should keep his head down and let them two get ugly with each other. After they choose there will be plenty of time to define his message vs the dem choice. He was never going to get the messiah vote. What he has to concentrate on are the independents…..

Captain, as to the VP choice, McCain had best be thinking of the independents. The Huckster definitely does not appeal to independents. Hell he doesn’t even appeal to rank and file repubs!

However, with the media in the tank for Obama, the lead stories will be “Will Hillary bow out now that Barack wins Texas, the big prize of the day”, ignoring the fact that she gets more delegates on the day as a whole.

Indy Conservative on March 4, 2008 at 9:48 AM

What a tool. I thought these pseudo-Republican shrills had gone to ground.
Go retreat to your fundamentalist land of ideological purity or head over to the Kos.

Sure, we lived through it then, let’s chance it again.

After all, LBJ didn’t do much everlasting damage to the country. Neither did Carter.

Disagree about the USSR. MAD doesn’t work with death cultists and the Soviets couldn’t detonate a nuke in NYC and then say “wasn’t us”.

Obama and Hillary are socialist/pacifists. Give this country over to either of these idiots and their George Soros/MoveOn.org left wing lunatics and we might not get another chance at another election.

Typhoon on March 4, 2008 at 8:44 AM

Your argument on the Court is one of the very few which keeps me from finding McCain not to be totally negative. However, this argument is itself very weak. McCain is noted for leading the opposition to reform of the Courts of Appeal.

NoDonkey on March 4, 2008 at 9:08 AM

The USSR got nukes about 1956, and they had ICBMs. You young pups may not have any incite into contemporary history but in 1964 people thought we didn’t have time to wait for Reagan either. The USSR was a greater threat in 1964 than Iran is in 2008.

We must secure the Supreme Court
Keemo on March 4, 2008 at 9:40 AM

Can’t you see? There is no way McCain can or will appoint Conservative judges on the Supreme Court.

Assuming that he picks a Conservative. His friends, the Liberals, will oppose it and he will go along with them after lying to us Conservatives saying that “he tried his best.”

Again, why people forget that McCain is a “work across the aisle against Republicans” type of guy?

Keemo on March 4, 2008 at 8:15 AM

Bravo!

Oh please, he’s not going to give amnesty. No, we’re not going to have a 700 foot wall topped with machine gun nests and we’re not going to be lassoing illegals and herding them into ranches. Ronald Reagan Jr. ain’t gonna do that either, pard’ner.

“McCain will work with his friends -the Democrats- in Congress to screw the Republican Party, and the country.”

This means nothing. While I consider Democrats to be the enemy, at some point, the President has to deal with the duly elected representatives of the people. Unfortunately, some people elect Democrats. What can you do.

“Consequently, those who think that he might or will appoint “Conservative” judges on the Supreme Court, you can forget about it.”

And you know that, how? Who do you think Ms. Inevitable or Borat O’Maddrass is going to appoint, Robert Bork? Maybe they won’t be ideal judges, but they won’t be freak show nutcases from Lunatic Left U. Remember Lani Guinier who thought minorities should get more votes?

“McCain will close GITMO. He even opposes interrogations techniques to save American lives. Is this “being tough” on national security?”

GTMO is almost irrelevant at this point and the CIA rarely uses waterboarding anyway. These are not substantive issues. He’s also not going to swaddle terrorists in snowy white robes and hold parades for them, like the Democrats are going to do.

MORE IMPORTANTLY – John McCain is not going to surrender in Iraq and then once that’s done, surrender in Afghanistan like the Democrat traitor scum surely will do, once their lunatic left base demands it. Which they will do, once the election is won by their beloved Democrat.

Furthermore, Democrats will back a huge unionization effort and a trade isolation movement that will wreck the economy. They will export Michigan’s basketcase economy to all 50 states.

You are seriously delusional if you think that a Democrat President will provide anything at all positive for conservatives.

Doesn’t matter, we stand a much better chance of having a voice at the table under McCain than either of these two Liberals. Bush tried to give us Harriet Miers; our voice was heard loud & clear! We must secure the Supreme Court if we are to keep our country from sliding to the far left… This election is about winning the GWOT, and securing the SC. The Libs will have their day, but not now…

Let’s examine some issues:

1 – McCain will grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. His advisor is a Mexican who wants to annex parts of the U.S.A. to Mexico.

2 – McCain will work with his friends -the Democrats- in Congress to screw the Republican Party, and the country.

Revenge from all the attacks against him by his “fellow Republicans” will be the first thing on his mind. So expect to have the Democrats’ agenda implemented. He is a “working across the aisle” guy, have you forgotten?

3 – Consequently, those who think that he might or will appoint “Conservative” judges on the Supreme Court, you can forget about it.

Again, how can you expect someone who is working with Liberals in Congress against his own Party, and who is hiring a former Mexican government official as his advisor on immigration to trust him on appointing the kind of judges who might oppose Liberals on Amnesty and other host of liberal issues?

And do you think that the Liberals in Congress will let him do anything against their wish anyway, especially when they get their 60 votes in the Senate?

4 – McCain will close GITMO. He even opposes interrogations techniques to save American lives. Is this “being tough” on national security?

What is the different between Hillary and McCain?

Hillary is a Liberal. McCain is a Liberal in “Republican/Conservative” clothes.

At least Hillary is honest about it.

“Straight talk” my ass, Mr. McCain.

Well, that’s about it. You can apply the above to all other issues, not just Amnesty, Judges and National Security.

And the answer is – with Ms. Inevitable or Borat O’Maddrass in the Oval Office, there might not be anything left to recover.

Hillary wins today, but it’s really, really close.

Dems leadership start twisting Obamas’ arm – he can be at the top of the ticket, but she’s the veep.

Somewhere after the convention Obama becomes non-viable as a candidate. (Rezko brings up serious dirt, the Canada flap grows legs, Obama gets his whole foot in his mouth…)

Hillary’s right there, ready to pick up the pieces, plus she’s had Obama acting as ablative meat for X months, drawing all the attacks.

Ungood.

Anyone think Juan McCain can spin on a dime?

Mew

Granted, John McCain is the least favorable of the Republican candidates; but speaking of taking years to recover from a McCain Presidency, how long will it take to recover from a Hillary! or Obama Presidency?

‘We don’t have to like it, but we have to do it.’ – Richard Marcinko

I don’t think we have sixteen years, old guy. The Iranians might have nukes NEXT year, do we want to then wait 15 years for the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan? While we have a socialist pacifist in office?

Sandwiched between Goldwater and Reagan was Nixon. He wasn’t at all perfect, but at least he saved us from the likes of McGovern. There might not have been anything left to pick up if McGovern had become President.

This idea that losing this election is a good strategy is really, really stupid. I cannot emphasize this enough.

The Republican Party is a coalition and not the sole possession of one faction or another. I am as conservative as anyone, but I am a realist. John McCain isn’t my ideal candidate either, but he is worlds better than either the geriatric hippie or the junior jackass the Democrats are going to offer up. Anyone with sense should know the difference.

As regards the Republican VP – The LAST thing to do would be to get Mitt Romney on the ticket. Granted, Romney has strong credentials and tons o’money but this time, the Republican Ticket needs someone like a J.C. Watts or a Sarah Palin for VP to counter inevitable ‘White Men Only Need Apply’ attacks from the Democrat Party. Mitt Romney should be in the Cabinet, say SECTREAS or SECSTATE.

They scare me. Obama scares me, but he could break the stranglehold the Clinton era has with the public and the MSM.
