Rudy will not be president. If he had tried running on the Democrat ticket he may have had a chance, but as a Republican his Pro-Choice history dooms any hope of a nomination.
Never the less, Rudy is correct. The Republican Party's strengths are national defense, lower taxes and smaller government. And the Republican Party's main weaknesses are abortion and the efforts by some Republicans to enforce Christian values upon all of America. If Republicans didn't make such a stink about social issues like abortion, prostitution, homosexuality, recreational drugs, porn, ect. then they'd consistently have more seats in Congress than their communist/Marxist/socialist counterparts. Regardless if you wish to see America dominated by Christian morality or not, you know I'm right.
So here are my justifications for faithful Christians to support Libertarian and Federalist principles:
1. Abortion may very well kill (or murder if you prefer) an unborn child. However, that child has not reached the age of accountability and certainly can not have committed any sins and is therefore totally innocent. Thus when this child is murdered his or her soul will go directly to heaven, it will not pass go, nor will it collect $200.
2. Prostitution, porn, homosexuality, drug use, gambling, ect. may very well be sins. But all sinners will be called to account on judgement day by the ultimate force of justice, and frankly, he's told us flat out not to step on his turf.
3. Would you expect Mexico or China to ban abortion because of Roe being overturned? Would you condone a declaration of war upon Mexico or China in order to ban abortion there? If not, then how do you justify imposing your law upon another state via the Federal Government? If so, how would such a war be different from the stated goal of Iran that seeks to impose Islamic law on the whole world?
4. Criminalizing profitable activities (regardless of how immoral) only strengthens organized crime syndicates while wasting the time and funding of our law enforcement agencies and courts. Think of how many more murderers, rapists and thieves could be in prison if the jails weren't stacked with drug and prostitution offenders.
5. Abortionists, like addicts, are self destructive. They are much less likely to have children, but much more likely to embrace collectivism. Perhaps it's time to take a page from Darwin's book and let nature take it's course?
I know that some will never cease in their crusades against immoral behavior. And though I personally to not keep company with drug users, prostitutes, homosexuals, or abortionists anymore than is necessary, I would legalize drugs, prostitution, abortion and sodomy in a heartbeat.
Let God enforce his own laws. Trust me, he's in a better position to do it.
