Gary Varvel: Two kinds of voters are to blame for America's decline

A new Humor Me cartoon

Oct 08, 2024

America has 2 groups of people who are killing America.

Non-voting Christians: According to My Faith Votes 25 million Christians who are registered to vote, don’t. 1 in 3 Christians are letting unbelievers select our leaders. This is outrageous. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won in 2020 because 25 million Christians didn’t bother to go to the polls and vote for politicians who support Biblical principles. Just think, they could have saved us from the disastrous Biden/Harris administration’s failures.

I know, I know, there is no perfect candidate but there is one party that supports child sacrifice (abortion) and unBiblical marriage. Based on what the Bible says, God expects His children to vote against that party.

Low-information voters, aka, the willfully ignorant are also killing America. I’m sorry to be so blunt but I know people who have tuned out because they are turned off by the political division. Like Rip Van Winkle, they have awakened from a long nap to find men dressing like women and competing in women’s sports. They know that everything costs more but they don’t know why because they haven’t paid attention.

This is why it’s important to read my Views From The Right newsletter. I’ll keep you updated on the latest news, commentary and Biblical reasons why you should vote for candidates on the right and not on the left.

“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is their duty – as well as privilege and interest – of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” – John Jay, First Chief-Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus taught a parable of the talents. He said a man gave one of his servants 5 talents, another 2 talents and a third servant received 1 talent. When the man returned from a long journey, 2 of the servants had invested and gained a profit. But the 3rd servant buried his talent. Jesus condemned that servant.

Voting is a privilege that Christians have been given by God. We will all give an account for what we did with what God gave us. So Go vote!

QUOTATION

It’s debatable who actually said this, but it makes sense:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy"

Of course America is not a democracy, it’s a Constitutional Republic. Nevertheless, we’re $35 Trillion in debt and we keep reelecting politicians who promise more spending.

RIGHT VIEWS

Washington Examiner - Byron York: When Kamala Harris promises come to nothing.

Townhall - Matt Vespa: Kamala's CBS interview was a complete and total trainwreck.

The Federalist - John Daniel Davidson: For years, Harris has consistently held anti-American views and pushed policies that undercut her claim to ‘love America.’

Hello Dear Brother,

Thank you for "Two kinds of voters are to blame for America's decline."

It is a disturbing truth! I was shocked and broken to hear these numbers from several sources. We voting Christians must reach out to educate and inform our fellow brothers and sisters.

Like you said "I know, I know, there is no perfect candidate but..." I'd like to add another but. We are voting for the America men gave life and limb to protect and defend! Unless folks have been in a coma for the last four years, you can see the stark difference in the America when Trump was President and the America in the last four years. Wake up America!

I have also found some Christians who rest behind "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves (Romans 13:1-2) Yes, Scripture tells us to obey governing authority unless it contradicts the Lord's commands.

God has also let us know when He is displeased with our leadership choices. "They set up kings, but not by Me; They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them." (Hosea 8:4)

Christians should strive to choose leaders who will be led by our Creator (1 Samuel 12:13-25). The leaders we elect or do nothing to remove have great influence over our freedoms. Our nation is being led to moral disaster. At the very minimum, vote for a party that "acknowledges there is a God who is our Creator." By not voting, you're giving your permission to be ruled by people who make unbiblical laws. That also applies to leaders on the local level.

We love you, Gary. Thanks again for all you do for the LORD'S sake.

Lou

In Wisconsin their is a deep hate for Republicans due to Scott Walkers attack on the public employees and teachers unions. They've sworn to never vote Republican again. I try to tell them Trump is different from the cookie cutter politicians, he's a one man show, for all of the people.
