40 Million Christians Don’t Vote - is This What Obama's Counting on?

In 2008, those with non-biblical values won political races with as few as 200 votes and the presidency was won by Obama with just 9 million votes.

The Obama Administration went on to be the most anti-Christian administration is the history of the United States. They did their best to destroy marriage, erode freedoms, hamstring the role of churches, and force them to subsidize what Churches and Christian Hospitals considered to be murder.

Given all this it would seem Christians are a persecuted minority without hope. Yet, pollster Barna  tells us that there are over 60 million Conservative Protestants in the US of voting age. This doesn’t even include Conservative Catholics. We are no minority. We’ve never been one.

Yet, sadly of these 60M potential voters, Barna also tells us that in many elections as many as 40 million of those conservative voters don’t even show up to vote.

It took only 9 million votes for Obama to win. If we could get just a quarter of those 40M who don’t vote, to get out and vote for Godly values, we’d win every election in every state in every county in every year, and you won’t even have to convince a single non-Christian, independent, or liberal to vote for Godly values.

The great tragedy of it all is that God has given us a nation where we can make a difference. We are not a minority! We can stop abortion! We can work to make America a more Godly Nation, but we aren’t doing any of that.

As Ronald Reagan said : We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind … and it's been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.

Don’t you think it’s time that we Christians made our voices known?

Rights and the Second Amendment - by Author Neil Mammen

Many Americans think that government gives us our rights. But this is simply false. The Declaration of Independence articulates clearly that we are endowed not by the government but by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. Governments are there to secure and protect the rights that we already have.

Rights have to come from God. If rights came from Government, then Government could take ethically take those rights away. If rights came from a majority vote, then the majority could choose to take those rights away. And if that were true then no one could complain that the rights of the American slaves had been unjustly taken from them when majorities kept slavery legal. You also can’t assign yourself rights, otherwise you could go around claiming that you have the right to be emperor, which is quite silly.

The reality is that rights can only come from someone who has authority over all mankind. Well, the only being that has that authority is the creator of all mankind. Thus rights must come from God, the creator.
Now once we understand that rights come from God, there need be no arguments about the 2nd Amendment when it comes to self-defense. Let’s think this through.

Do we have the unalienable right to protect ourselves from harm? Do we have the unalienable right to protect our wives and kids from harm? Both must be answered, “Yes.” In which case we must be able to purchase and own those tools that allow for that personal defense. Do you see now that the right to buy and bear arms is a personal unalienable right, and must never depend on a government approved police force; and more importantly neither the government nor the constitution can restrict it. Thus, to a gun-owner, it matters not if the 2nd Amendment was about standing militias or anything similar. Why? Because the right to protect your family and bear arms are God given unalienable right and they precede, predate and override any interpretation of the 2nd Amendment!

Goods as Rights? The Enslavement of a Nation by Neil Mammen

The Declaration of Independence says we have rights. But what is a right? Is it what FDR thought it was? He tried to create a second bill of rights that included things like the right to healthcare, a home and a good paying job. But are those rights? He and most people confuse “rights” with “goods.” It’s critical to differentiate the two. Here’s an easy way to look at it: If a ‘right’ depends on someone else’s service, work, or money, it’s not a right, it’s goods, and it’s certainly not a God given Right.

So what about healthcare? Well it’s the product of someone’s labor, isn’t it? And while you may have the right to not be prevented from getting healthcare, you don’t have an entitlement to free healthcare. Why? Because that healthcare is dependent on someone else providing the labor, like doctors. Should you force them to do that?

Notice the difference, the right to bear arms does not mean you are entitled to a free firearm. The right to free speech does not mean you are entitled to a free printing press or radio station and the right to own a home does not mean you are entitled to a home. I hope you see the great difference. This is critical, anytime you vote on something, ask yourself, “Is this law acknowledging a true right or is it mandating goods that are a result of someone else’s hard work?”

Interestingly enough the constitutions that have a bill of rights with education, jobs, healthcare and homes and other such “goods” are all communist and socialist constitutions.

And we all know how successful they’ve been. Why? Because goods that are granted as rights, require some men to be forced to provide those goods to others and will most likely result in a bankrupt state or a totalitarian state.

A nation that assigns goods as rights will have to enslave people to ensure an ample supply of those goods that they’ve promised as rights.

So let me ask you this, where do you think our nation is headed?
