Going Rogue: True Confessions of a Conservative Christian

I'm "Going Rogue" as well. It is time that I made a few confessions. I'm going to lay it all on the line and see what happens. Maybe I should say I'm going to throw it all against the wall and see what sticks. Either way, I'm going rogue and letting my true feelings show.

My first confession is that I didn't vote for McCain. Don't panic; I can explain it. I voted against Barrack Hussein Obama. My vote was marked "John McCain/Sarah Palin," but it was a vote against socialism and the other junk BamBam and his blind sheep was spewing. I preferred someone else - a Matthew 25 Republican who now has his own television show on Fox News. His name is Mike Huckabee.

My second confession is that I'm not a big fan of Sarah Palin. She and I would have a lovely conversation in line at the grocery store. We'd probably exchange phone numbers and email addresses. I'd love to have a cup of coffee with her. I might have her over for dinner. She's a bit too perky for me and would quickly drain my already-low reserve of energy. That's just me. Don't get me wrong; Sarah Palin has her place in Conservative Republican politics. I don't know what that place is; I'm still trying to figure her out. I'll support her, if she's the candidate in 2012. Read my next confessions and you'll understand why I'm not jumping up and down at that idea.

My third confession is that the first time I ever voted for someone was in the 2008 caucus. I had voted in every election since I was old enough, but never voted FOR someone. I always voted against the other one. I voted for Mike Huckabee in the caucus. WOW! That was a thrill. I even spoke on his behalf before the vote. I couldn't keep quiet about his common sense approach to all things political, fiscal and "governmental."

My fourth confession is that I am an addict. I am addicted to the idea of voting for someone. I've heard other addicts talk about "chasing their first high" and it makes sense to me. (Getting rid of the IRS? Novel idea. When I buy my daughter shoes at Wal-Mart, I'm paying the same tax that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes pays when they shop for their daughter on Rodeo Drive. Anyway...) I'll be chasing that feeling for the rest of my life. That is why I will do all I can to get Mike Huckabee in MY White House in 2012. He touched my heart the way Ronald Reagan did in 1980 and 1984. I wish I had been old enough to vote for him. On the bright side, I helped my parents and grandparents campaign for him.

My fifth confession is I'm scared for our country. Obama and his blind sheep are conning America. They refuse to listen to Americans. They want to push their socialist agenda down our throats and choke our freedom out of us. BamBam is dangerous. His blind sheep make him dangerous. Thank God I have 20/20 vision.

My sixth confession is that I will campaign against every politician that supports Obama. My one voice, combined with others, will be heard. I will make phone calls. I will tweet until my fingers bleed about the BamBam and his lies. I will post on my little blog for as long as I have freedom of speech and freedom of the press. I will email everyone. I will go to tea parties. I will hold my sign and protest peacefully. I'll use every right the Constitution gives me to stop socialism in my country. The same Constitution my Granddad lost his hearing in World War II defending. The same Constitution that will protect my daughter and future grandchildren from tyranny. I will do everything possible to, once again, make America that "shining city on a hill" Ronald Reagan served and loved.

I just went rogue. I spilled my Conservative heart. I told all my dirty little secrets. Well, some of them. Just thought you might want a little insight on what this Conservative Matthew 25 Republican thinks and feels. I hope there are many other Conservatives that will be going rogue soon. Let's stand up and fight, taking our country back from those elected that seek to destroy us, our beliefs, our ideals and our way of life.

The Make-Up of this Conservative Republican Woman

I'm constantly asked, "What makes you a Republican?" and "Why are you Conservative?" The answer is simple. It boils down to two specific things that I do. First, I vote the Bible. Secondly, I always ask "How much will that cost?" I've always done it and I always will. That is the make-up of this Conservative Republican woman.

No matter the political issue, I can find a Scripture to back up why I believe what I believe. Folks never believe that I can do it, but I can. It is relatively easy to do. I'll give you a few examples:

Abortion. Okay, that one is a no-brainer. "Thou shalt not kill." I've read it in several different versions versions (King James, Living Word, etc.), and no where does it put an age on killing. It says don't do it so we shouldn't do it. I know the argument; they aren't babies - just blobs that pop out as people in nine months. Jeremiah 1 talks about how God knew Jeremiah before he was "formed in the womb" and how Jeremiah had a purpose, a calling, the moment God knew about him. I also know that Acts 10:34 tells us that "God is no respecter of persons." That means we are all treated the same - even the same as Jeremiah. God knew Jeremiah before he was even a so-called "blob" and that means he knows those millions of babies murdered before they have rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I always vote for the candidate who is against legalized murdered, abortion. Just one reason I am a Conservative Republican woman. Just one reason I did not vote for Barrack Hussein Obama.

Taxes. Take a look at Matthew 25:14-30. It is the parable of the talents. A man gives three of his "employees" money (talents) to make him more money. The man given five talents works hard with his and made five more. The man given two talents also worked hard with his talents and doubled the money as well. The man who was given one talent freaked out and buried his, afraid to do anything with it. The employer took the one talent from him and gave it to the employee who had originally been given five. Jesus didn't think the man who worked hard with the five talents should be punished and have his talents taken away - AKA taxed. The man who didn't work, who did nothing with the money he was given, was "taxed" and it was given to the man who had the most as a reward. Jesus rewarded the man who worked hard and had the increase. I only vote for the candidate who also rewards hard work. Just another reason I am a Conservative Republican woman. Just another reason I did not vote for Barrack Hussein Obama.

Social services and welfare. Look at II Thessalonians 3:10, "This we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat." If you don't work, then you don't eat. It is that simple. Those of you who know me are asking how I can say that because I am disabled and do not work outside the home. It is well known that I don't have a job and I don't get a paycheck. Look at that Scripture again. It doesn't say anything about having a job or getting a paycheck. It says to "work." I do work. I take care of my home. I raise my daughter. I write as much as possible. I use Google AdSense on my blogs and website to make some money. I pray. I minister to people the best way I can. I help others with their writing and other endeavors that they have. I work and, therefore, I eat. If I can do it, so can others. I worked since I was 17 years old and I paid into Social Security. That money was put aside for me to use when I needed it. I need it now. I expect to get it back. None of this "give it away, give it away, give it away" now attitude around here. The Word of God doesn't want me sitting around with my hand out, expecting others to pay my way. Another reason I am a Conservative Republican woman. Another reason I didn't vote for Barrack Hussein Obama.

More on social services and welfare. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The Golden Rule found in Matthew 7:12. I know that there are times when people need help and I am all for helping them. Within reason. There comes a time when people need to be told enough is enough. I don't want to be enabled. I don't want to be given things that I didn't earn. Who wants to go through their life with their hand stretched out, expecting a hand-out? People want to be able to do things for themselves, support themselves on their own. Another reason I am Conservative Republican woman. Another reason I didn't vote for Barrack Hussein Obama.

Israel. Take a look at the entire Bible as well as history. God gave that land to Israel and no is going to take it away from them. All sorts of people throughout the ages have tried and Israel still holds on to it. God makes sure they have that land. He made them a promise and He is standing by them. Everyone who did not stand by Israel was destroyed. Hitler is the obvious example here. No matter what mistakes Israel makes, God still stands by them and will not allow them to be destroyed. We should do the same. If we don't stand by Israel, our country will be destroyed just like the others who didn't stand by them. Another reason I am a Conservative Republican woman. Another reason I didn't vote for Barrack Hussein Obama.

As a Conservative Republican woman, I ask how much things will cost. I know that what money I have is a blessing from God and should not be wasted or spent on things that go against God's Word and His will. I keep a close eye on my personal finances as well as the tax money the government spends. I want to know where it is going and what it will be doing once it gets there. I don't want a penny of that money wasted. I know I have the right to know how my money is being spent. I have the right to vote people into office who will be good stewards of my tax money. Another reason I am a Conservative Republican woman. Another reason I did not vote for Barrack Hussein Obama.

That is why I am a Conservative Republican woman. It is basic and simple. I have specific standards and ideals that I believe in. I don't compromise them. I don't let things slide. I stand up for what I believe in and I don't back down simply because it may be unpopular or politically incorrect. Yep. Those are even more reasons I am a Conservative Republican woman.
