Part 1 -- Lessons Of Leaven
It is time for all Christians and conservatives to leave The Republican Party. It has long been under the control of the Rockefeller Wing, the so-called "Blue-Bloods" who have always been liberal and somewhat socialist. These have always hated the Christian Right and other true conservatives. The "Blue-Bloods" will NEVER cede leadership of The Party to those in The Party that they actually consider to be more of an enemy than they do the Democrats! The "Blue-Bloods" feel an affinity with liberal Democrats and SHOULD move to join them. We have seen this this Spring with Colin Powell and Arlen Specter. Most, though, will stay in The Party as they have a strong need to feel that they are at the head of something. They feel comfortable with the two-winged one-party system. And, they tolerate us (C. and C.s) ONLY because they need our votes every two years.
Our perspective has keep us in this joke-of-a-party for so long because of the fear that we have had no other place to go and that breaking with the Republican Libs would produce "The Unthinkable" -- Communist Party victories for The House, The Senate, The White House, and The Supreme Court. Well, now "The Unthinkable" has happened and it was the Republican Libs who brought it to us!
Jesus said, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees." Leaven, here in His picture, represents sin. He wanted His followers (sheep of the flock) to be unleavened, that is, pure. He went on to say that, "A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough." When you are trying to bake unleavened bread and you accidently spill some yeast (leaven) onto your lump of dough, you don't try to pick out every little speck of the contamination. Rather, you THROW AWAY THE LUMP and START OVER with a new lump! Likewise, our "Lumpy Party" has been contaminated by the "Blue-Bloods" and we must throw it out. We need a new, fresh Party to work with. And, this time, we must take steps to keep it pure. Beware the leaven of the "Blue-Bloods"!
