Pro-Family Warmongers, Pro-Sodomy Neocons and Pro-Sodomy Non-Neocons: What Is Worse for Christians?


Pro-Family Warmongers, Pro-Sodomy Neocons and Pro-Sodomy Non-Neocons: What Is Worse for Christians?

By Julio Severo
I was watching Franklin Graham, son of the evangelist Billy Graham, on the left-wing CNN (https://youtu.be/_2-ycehCnuM) wisely answering questions as the host pressed him to condemn Russian intervention in Syria. For her, this intervention was responsible for massacres, but she never mentioned that Russia was fighting Muslim rebels funded, trained and armed by the Obama administration. She never mentioned that before the Russian intervention, these rebels were torturing, raping and slaughtering Christians. She never mentioned that the real objective of the Obama intervention in Syria, especially through the U.S. State Secretary Hillary Clinton, was never to fight ISIS, but help rebels to overthrow the Syrian President Assad, who is supported by Russia.
Despite the psychological pressure, Graham did not condemn Russia.
The fact is, with Hillary, the U.S. State Department was a war machine making wars against Christians in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, etc. There is evidence that the State Secretary Clinton created and armed ISIS, which slaughtered thousands of Christians. The U.S. created a terrible mess in Iraq, in Libya, in Afghanistan and in Syria.
Also, while Muslims have represented a clear majority of immigrants being welcome and relocated in the U.S. by the State Department, Christians victims account for less than 5 per cent.
Other war fomented by the Obama State Department was the culture war on behalf of the homosexual agenda. It funded and trained homosexual activists around the world. It actively and peremptorily promoted their interests, including by naming the first global envoy for the homosexual agenda.
Hillary was a pro-sodomy neocon at the State Department.
What to expect from a Trump State Secretary? Firstly, consistency with his discourse in the campaign confronting neocons, known for their partnerships with Islamic terror against Russia, and for their openness to Islamic, not Christian, immigrants.
When Trump was considering Mitt Romney for State Secretary, it was hard not to think that the spirit of Hillary would not be continuing her mission through him, because under former Governor Romney Massachusetts was the first U.S. state to legalize homosexual “marriage.” Besides, he wanted to confront Russia in Syria and Ukraine, just as Obama was doing and just as Hillary wanted to do in her dream of a presidency.
Then Trump chose Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon Mobil, for State Secretary. Tillerson has a history of good relations with Putin and Russia, but not with ISIS. And he does not seem to want wars, but good relations. This is very good sign.
Different from Hillary, who was killing Christians in Syria through Muslim rebels and ISIS and in Iraq through ISIS, Tillerson seems to understand that there is no point in supporting such unfair war and chastise Russia for its pro-Christian involvement.
Different from Hillary and Obama, hopefully Tillerson may understand that persecuted Christians, not Muslims, should be given priority for immigration.
Yet, there is a concern. Tillerson was a board member of Boy Scouts and approved its infamous decision to allow gay scout leaders. This equals him to Hillary.
However, what if Trump chose Ted Cruz? Cruz’s pro-family and pro-Israel stances are excellent. In foreign policy, he would not use the State Department to promote the homosexual agenda. But regarding Russia, he and neocons like Marco Rubio equal to Hillary: Cruz wanted a confrontation with Russia in Syria and Ukraine over Crimea, a region traditionally Russian for hundreds of years and which Russia has repossessed in 2014. His policy would be a continuation of the Hillary policy.
So, all the choices are hard. Yet, while Hillary and the Obama administration mocked and antagonized the Russian law banning homosexual propaganda to children and eventually imposed sanctions against Russia by using as an excuse the Crimea repossession, Tillerson has spoken out against such sanctions.
If he were so fixated on the gay agenda as Obama and Hillary are, he would probably speak out on behalf of such sanctions.
How to assess the differences? Christians like Ted Cruz are very good in defending life and family. They deserve to be commended for their pro-family efforts. But their neocon efforts to fight Russia while Russia fights ISIS and helps Christians in the Middle East put them on par with Hillary, whose anti-Russian policies were anti-Christian and pro-ISIS and pro-Islamic rebels.
Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and others are pro-family warmongers. Christians persecuted by Muslims in Syria and other nations would barely have some hope of being helped by their policies, and their pro-family views would be helpful only to pro-family Christians outside of zones of Islamic wars.
Romney would be a continuation of Hillary, with no benefit to pro-family Christians in the U.S. and Christians persecuted by Muslims in other nations.
Tillerson does not seem to be a warmonger. He has no history of wars, but of friendships and deals. This is real change, because the State Department has had too many warmongers for too long.
Tillerson would be perfect if he were a pro-family Christian against the gay agenda — as Ted Cruz would prefect if he were not warmonger and confrontational in a time Russia is looking for peace and partnership against the Islamic terror. Russia has the exact wish Trump showed in his campaign.
In fact, Trump said last week that only stupid people fools would see good ties with Russia as bad. This is in consistency with his campaign and with the history of Tillerson.
If Tillerson were a homosexualist militant, there would be a confrontation between him and Putin, because while he approved gay scout masters to teach homosexual propaganda to children, Putin has approved a ban against such propaganda.
As Trump, Tillerson is open to the gay agenda, but both, different from Hillary and Obama, are open to dialogue.
Yet, when assessing between pro-family warmongers, pro-sodomy neocons and pro-sodomy non-neocons, what is important? The lives of Christians persecuted by Muslims in Syria are as important as the lives of unborn babies defended by good pro-family Christians.
Any State Secretary willing to support the Russian efforts, or at least not interfere negatively as Obama and Hillary did, in Syria is helping save lives, especially Christians victimized by ISIS. In this respect, Tillerson seems to be the only hope for the State Department to stop its pro-Islamic meddling against Christians in Syria.
I hope to be right: Tillerson does not seem a neocon.

Why I Support Cruz over Trump, But Why Trump Would Be Better on Foreign Policy


Why I Support Cruz over Trump, But Why Trump Would Be Better on Foreign Policy

By Julio Severo
I support Ted Cruz over Donald Trump as a Republican presidential candidate, even though Trump seems to be more correct regarding to Islam and its threat. About pro-life issues, Trump is suspicious. Cruz is not suspicious about these issues. I think he will not betray pro-life convictions. Yet, my worry about him is the same worry about Bush Jr. He is suspicious in this issue.
Ted Cruz and Donald Trump
I heartedly supported Bush on his pro-life stances. I will do the same thing for Cruz. My worry is foreign policy, especially Christian persecution by Islamic oppression. Bush invaded Iraq allegedly because of 9/11. Before the invasion, there were over 2 million Christians in Iraq. Today, they are less than 400,000 and their numbers are dwindling.
After the U.S. invasion by Bush, Iraq Christians began their exodus to Syria, because U.S. troops did not want to protect this vulnerable minority not to give the impression to Muslims that America was in a Christian crusade in Iraq to protect Christians and attack Muslims. To dispel this image, America under Bush did not protect Iraqi Christians.
And now, under Obama, America is heavily arming “moderate” Syrian Muslim rebels who rape, torture and slaughter Syrian Christians. America under Obama has caused a terrible mess to Syrian Christians and Iraq Christian refugees in Syria.
Cannot America solve her own mess against innocent people?
If America under Bush did not arm Iraqi Christians against Muslim attacks, now America under Obama is not arming Syrian Christians to defend themselves against ISIS and U.S.-armed “moderate” Syrian Muslim rebels.
What will Cruz do? I am sure that in pro-family issues he will not imitate Obama. If he imitates Bush in his pro-life stances, this is very good. But will he also imitate Bush in his disastrous politics benefitting Islam and destroying old Christian communities in the Middle East? In this issue, Bush and Obama are not different.
In this respect (about foreign affairs and Christian persecution), I would not like to see Cruz as a new Bush or Obama. If he intends to continue the mess of Bush and Obama against Christians around the world, he should not be elected.
In this respect, I prefer Trump. He is independent and free to do whatever he wants. He cannot be bribed with millions, because he is a billionaire. He has offended neocons, whom Bush obeyed and whom Obama obeys in their foreign policy disasters against Christians. It seems he will not continue the mess of Bush and Obama against Christians around the world. He has promised good relations with Russia, in contrast with Cruz, who wants neocon relations with Russia. Even so, I am worried about his lack of pro-family credentials.
Trump has advocated a ban on Islamic immigration to the U.S. and he favors Christian immigration. His proposed ban has infuriated Democrats and Republicans, left-wingers and right-wingers. In this point, he has shown that he has more courage than all the other candidates combined do. Cruz has not shown this courage.
America’s founders were fond of evangelical values. Cruz, not Trump, seems to have these qualities. Even so, Trump seems much more open to let the U.S. welcome Christian refugees and discontinue the ridiculous Obama and Bush politics of praising Islam and welcoming its adherents. One Christian is slaughtered every five minutes, and the overwhelming majority of these crimes against Christians are committed by Muslims. Why since Bush and Obama has the U.S. received thousands and thousands of Muslims, not Christians? America needs a president to deliver her from this insanity. Probably in this issue Cruz has much to learn from Trump.
U.S. foreign policy, which has been a disaster to international Christians under the Bush and Obama administrations, has been dominated by neocons. Trump, not Cruz, seems to have a distaste for neocon politics.
If Trump had pro-family credentials, he would be the perfect candidate. But because he has not them, perhaps a Cruz-Trump ticket would be perfect.
If I can give a humble advice to Cruz is:
Be a pro-lifer (and I am sure that you are going to be one). But remember also the Cross (which is Cruz in Spanish). Remember Christians suffering Islamic oppression, rape, torture and slaughter.
Remember what Bush and Obama did not remember.
Remember that the trail of U.S. military invasions and interventions in Iraq, Libya and Syria is covered with the blood of Christians that America refused to protect in order to protect U.S. political interests.
Remember that the U.S., which was founded by persecuted Christians, today welcomes many more Muslim invaders than Christian refugees, even though Islam is responsible for about 100,000 Christian martyrs a year.
Be different from Bush and Obama, who armed Muslims who attacked Christians. Could America under your presidency arm Christians to defend themselves against Islamic assaults?
Be different from Bush and Obama, who praised Islam and welcomed Muslim invaders over Christian refugees. Could America under your presidency welcome Christian immigrants over Muslim immigrants? At least, could not America under your presidency welcome Christian refugees from Iraq, Syria, Libya and other Islamic nations where she has caused a big mess against Christians?
Be opposed to neocons, who antagonize Russia, but do not antagonize Islamic dictatorships. Russia has recently been prominent in conservative pro-family efforts in the U.N. system and Russian military involvement in Syria has protected and helped Christians from the mess America created. Cannot America under your presidency be better? Trump has publicly expressed his intent of not antagonizing Russia. Cannot you be better than Trump on this?
Remember to serve the Kingdom of God above the neocon kingdom and its disastrous policies against Christians. In fact, make America a servant of God and His Kingdom. So in this way America will be blessed and a blessing and stop being a curse for Christians persecuted by Muslims around the world.
I doubt that Trump knows how to put the Kingdom of God above a neocon kingdom of foreign policy disaster for international Christians. But Cruz has such knowledge. He will be happy — and international Christians and their God will be equally happy — if he puts this knowledge into action.

Ted Cruz Launch: Good News for Evangelicals, Bad News for GOP Elites


Ted Cruz Launch: Good News for Evangelicals, Bad News for GOP Elites

Bryan Fischer
Commentary by Julio Severo: When there is no candidate for you to give your vote, it is sad. Yet, when there is one, it is joy. Ted Cruz launched his candidacy to the U.S. presidency in the largest evangelical university in the world, Liberty University, connected to Matt Barber, owner of the conservative website Barbwire, where I am a columnist. In fact, the article below, written by Bryan Fischer, was published by Barbwire. If Cruz actually reaches the end, this election will be thrilling. Today, I dreamed that I was in an area where there was a voting booth in the U.S. For some reason, I saw the first American voter and after he had left the voting booth, his vote was put in my hand and I saw that his vote was for Cruz. I was extremely glad in that moment. I cannot vote in the U.S., but I will pray that Cruz may win and become president, becoming this way, as Romans says, a “minister of God.” We are tired of seeing U.S. presidents and politicians, true servants of Satan, facilitating the international persecution of Christians. It is time for an evangelical as Ted Cruz to win and change the anti-Christian and pro-sodomy policies of the U.S. government. I pray also that as U.S. president he may do what no U.S. president has ever done: TO RECOGNIZE OFFICIALLY JERUSALEM AS CAPITAL OF ISRAEL! Ted Cruz has my support!  
Ted Cruz
Ted Cruz sucked all the oxygen out of the room today with his official declaration of his candidacy to be America’s next president.
He stole a march on the rest of the field, who will now be scrambling to catch up. It was a brilliant piece of political strategy.
By making his first campaign appearance at Liberty University, the largest evangelical school in the world, Cruz was also sending a powerful message to the conservative Christian base: “I’m one of you.” He was telling evangelicals that they are his base. He openly embraced evangelicals in a way we have not seen since the days of Ronald Reagan.
It’s impossible for a Republican to win the nomination or the presidency without the enthusiastic support of the evangelical base. You can ask Romney and McCain all about that. Cruz will generate the kind of fervor and energy among the confessing evangelicals that’s required to win. He in fact may lock up the evangelical bloc before the other conservatives are even out of the gate.
Four million conservative voters stayed home in 2012 and in so doing handed the election to Barack Obama. Cruz will draw those four million conservatives to the polls, and they will bring their friends with them. Lots of them.
Political consultants, who have made an astonishing amount of money telling Republicans how to lose one election after another, have got it all wrong on the precious “independents.” Their template is that there are Republicans on the right, Democrats on the left, with all the independents somewhere in between.
What this template completely fails to account for is the number of independents who are to the right of today’s mushy-middle GOP establishment. They are independent, not because the Republican Party is too conservative for them, but because it is not conservative enough.
To borrow from Ronald Reagan, they didn’t leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party left them. Ted Cruz will bring the party back to them and he will bring them back to the party. He will win the independents who count, the ones who can put the Republicans in the win column in 2016.
It will be fascinating to watch the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among the GOP establishment should Cruz’s candidacy take flight. We will soon find out if there is enough room for Ted Cruz in their precious “Big Tent.” Their tent may prove to be a lot smaller than they want us to believe.
The GOP elites have always taken evangelical voters for granted. They have condescendingly thrown us a bone or two in the platform, then patted us on the head and told us to go to our rooms and be seen and not heard. They have assumed we will vote GOP because we have no other place to go.
Those days will be over with a Cruz nomination. It will be the GOP establishment that will have no place to go. Evangelicals will say it’s about time the elites have to hold their noses and vote for our guy for a change.
In its profile of Ted Cruz, the New York Times said that GOP elites are “skeptical of and angry with (Ted) Cruz.” Sounds like he just might be the guy we’re looking for.
