America, Conservative Christians and Third World Expectations
By Julio
Severo
Evangelicals are
“fighting an uphill battle of demographics” on issues such as gay “marriage”,
Focus on the Family President Jim Daly told the Los Angeles Times after the election.
Last month, he
said evangelicals and social conservatives were “rowing against the tide” with
their focus on traditional values issues such as abortion and gay “marriage” in
their political messaging.
His call for “moderation”
basically was a plea for Christians to stop their political opposition to such
issues in light of Obama’s recent electoral victory.
His admonition
implies that after decades, Democrats (referred to as socialists hereinafter) have
achieved victory through a mass change of mind in the American people, who now
want abortion and gay “marriage.” In part, this is true in regard to native-born
Americans who became liberal after long-term exposure to mass indoctrination
camps (aka public schools). Thanks to this indoctrination, they see, speak and
dream socialism (aka Democratic Party).
Most Americans don’t realize that, decades ago, the
Democrats instituted a long-term plan to gradually turn the United States into
a Third World nation. The country would become poorer and less free, but
Democrats would have an unbeatable majority!
It should also be
added that as a result of this plan, America is today a less Christian nation.
A recent AP story said that “For the first time in its history, the United
States does not have a Protestant majority.” Evidently, an aggressive and mindless
liberalism in the mainline Protestant churches that is scaring members away has
been fundamentally helpful to the socialist plan, but immigration is changing
not only the ethnic face of America, but also her Christian demographics and
influence.
Coulter says,
Under Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 immigration act, our
immigration policy changed from one that replicated the existing ethnic
population to one that strictly favored unskilled immigrants from the Third
World. Since 1968, 85 percent of legal immigrants have come from what is
euphemistically called “developing countries.”
America can’t
admit computer scientists from Europe fleeing their failing socialist
continent, and she definitely can’t admit Christians fleeing Islamic
persecution even from Muslim nations invaded by her because she has to make
room for Muslim immigrants. The socialist (Democratic) plan demands that the
Christian demographics of America be changed. Christians out, Muslims in.
William J.
Murray, chairman of Religious Freedom Coalition, told me recently, “Muslims are
being moved into the Bible Belt as they come in. Nashville and Atlanta are the
immigration hubs for Obama to dump Muslims into the US. On top of that Mexican
cartels are moving Muslims that can’t get visas because of their associations
in through the border.”
Coulter writes,
Because recent immigrants have no skills, they arrive
in dire need of government assistance. Their desperation has been an enormous
boon to the Democratic Party.
It’s not that poor immigrants think differently about
most issues from conservatives. Try asking a recent immigrant:
How do you feel about abortion?
It’s taking a life.
It’s taking a life.
What should we do about criminals?
Lock them up and throw away the key.
Lock them up and throw away the key.
Do you support raising taxes?
No, the government takes too much already.
No, the government takes too much already.
How do you feel about overpaid, well-pensioned
government workers with no-show jobs?
It ticks me off.
It ticks me off.
Do you support gay marriage?
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
How are you going to vote?
Democratic.
Democratic.
Yes, because
Democrats give gifts!
This is true,
for example, of Latin American immigrants, the most faithful Democratic
supporters. US Catholic bishops have been vocally pro-life, but over 70%
Catholics, most Latin Americans, voted for Obama and Democrats.
Latin American
immigrants most certainly oppose abortion and gay “marriage”. The problem is
that poor, uneducated people — the Democratic base — like free stuff that
socialists with a D give them.
Brazilian people
are not different. They usually vote for the most generous givers. And they
have replicated their behavior in America. A Brazilian friend living in America
told me that most of her Brazilian friends in America supported Obama. They are
evangelicals who oppose abortion and homosexuality. But they like the privileges
and gifts offered by socialists. In short, they will sacrifice any important
value to get privileges and gifts. America would lose nothing if she deported
Brazilians and other immigrants that put their personal comfort above traditional
family values.
So Jim Daly has
fundamentally misunderstood the current American reality. A conservative
candidate does not need to “tone down” his opposition to gay “marriage” and
abortion. If all he wants is to please a multitude of voters, he should do what
any Third World dictator does: to promise lots and lots of free stuff.
After all,
considering that most of the immigrants to America come from Third World
nations, they have Third World aspirations: they want government to feed them,
help them, etc.
Yet, to insist
on lots and lots of largesse is not the Christian way to do things. The Bible
way is:
“We urge
you, brothers, to do this more and more, and to aspire to live quietly, and to
mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you.” (1 Thessalonians
4:10-11 ESV)
Conservative
Christians should never tone down their opposition to gay “marriage” and
abortion for the sake of electoral gains.
If immigrants,
Brazilians included, voted according to moral and Christian principles, Obama and
the Democrats would never win. But this raises a serious issue: what is the
alternative?
The candidates
facing Obama did not mirror the moral or Christian values of immigrants. They
actually “moderated” and “toned down” their opposition to gay “marriage,”
abortion and other major moral issues, exactly as Jim Daly proposed. And it did
not work.
As a Christian,
I could never vote for Obama or the opposing candidates and their “moderate”
stances, which are immoral too.
It is too late
for conservative Christians to stop the massive immigration caused by Democrats.
These immigrants, who oppose gay “marriage” and abortion, are deciding American
elections merely by choosing the guy offering the most handouts.
If a candidate
said “we have to work very hard to build our nation,” he would have been
elected by Americans two or three hundred years ago, but not today.
Yet, if he said
“if you choose me, you will receive a lot of gifts,” his election would be
guaranteed today, but probably not two or three hundred years ago.
Socialists have
been successfully changing American demographics unopposed since the 1960s.
Perhaps Republicans or conservatives should fight fire with fire and bring
conservative immigrants from other nations. In this case, socialists would do
what they have never done before: fierce opposition to immigration policies!
But where would
Republicans or conservatives get millions of conservative immigrants? Even many
Christians in Brazil and other nations are tainted by socialist expectations:
they want government to do everything for them.
There is little
hope for American social conservatives and their political survival.
How should
American conservative Christians respond to the Third World change in their
nation?
If they cannot
go to the ends of the earth to preach the Gospel, people from these ends are
being brought by socialists (aka Democrats) to receive the Gospel — not the
Social, Marxist and liberal Gospel that is destroying mainline Protestant
churches in America, but the real Gospel, which delivers people from every
evil, including socialism (aka Democratic Party).
At least, this
is my view as a Brazilian Christian.
