Vote, But Only If You Vote Republican
July 19, 2012
It is anathema in some Christian circles if you say that you don’t vote. Voting is viewed as not only doing your patriotic duty, but as some kind of holy thing. Okay, suppose someone votes for Obama this November. Would that be okay? Of course not. You have to vote Republican. Then and only then is it patriotic and holy.
