In an interview with USA Today on March 25, GOP Chairman Reince Priebus makes some statements which, if read by every Republican in Texas, would quite possibly mean the death of the party, at least in Texas.  See it here.

Priebus admits that his own party’s platform is firmly against homosexual marriage, “And I agree with that platform, BUT… ,” then goes on to say, “”I don’t believe we need to act like Old Testament heretics,” saying Republicans “have to strike a balance between principle and grace and respect.”

First of all, this is a bald attack on both Christians and Jews.  “Old Testament heretics”?  Priebus is short on the concept – he is the heretic here, not Believers!

Either Mr. Priebus is unaware of the identical prohibitions against sodomy in the New Testament, or he is making a conscious effort to smear anyone who dares to use the Bible as the foundation of their worldview.  Or both.

Mr. Priebus is telling us that the reason that the GOP has failed so miserably to take the White House in the last two elections is because of you “OT heretics” – in other words, those of you who believe in the Bible.  YOU are the problem, in Priebus’ mind.

That’s funny.  I thought we’d already compromised Biblical principles when we ended the death penalty for sodomites in Texas.  That was the law in Texas when I was growing up, and anyone who believes in the Old Testament will agree that the State should not do that – the Believers should do it!  Obviously, this is Old Testament Law – and I think Mr. Priebus just labeled all Torah-believing Jews (and all Bible-believing Christians) as “heretics”.

Second, this is an announcement that those men and women of principle who have labored long and hard over the past sixty years to salvage the party from unprincipled power brokers, have lost.  It’s over.  The only “principle” the party recognizes is, “Only that which helps us win is good.”

Priebus tells us the real reason the party has lost – Too many Republicans just can’t strike that “balance between principle and grace and respect.”  What does he mean by that?  He means, “Your principles are fine, if you insist, but we are here to win at any cost, and if it takes mud wrestling in the sewers, the GOP is prepared to endorse that with ‘grace and respect.’ “

In other words, “Your out-of-date principles are the reason we keep losing!”

It’s time for people of principle to realize that they are no longer welcome under the “big tent” of the Republican Party.  The party chairman has just said as much.

The GOP has not welcomed Christian conservatives in their midst for over sixty years.  But only recently have they become so emboldened as to castigate Believers and trying to portray them as the Western equivalent of the radical Muslim element in the Middle East.

However clumsy, that is precisely what Priebus is doing.  He is painting you Believers as a radical, dangerous element, and the cause of all their losses.  After all, where was your “graceful and respectful” support for National Socialist candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney?

There are many principled observers who believe that the losses are directly attributable to the selection of watered down socialists and “moderate conservatives” who have no principles.  It’s hard for some of us to get excited about such compromised choices.

Having abandoned both God and the Constitution, the leadership and the power brokers of the Republican Party are as morally bankrupt as those in the Democratic Party.

We all know that the Democratic Party does not reflect the views and principles of the average blue-collar worker who believes in God, in family and who has a strong work ethic.  The irony here is that the rank and file Republicans have more in common with that blue-collar rank and file Democrat, but both groups are manipulated and brainwashed by political fat cats like Priebus and Rove.  This strategy of “divide and conquer” has split the principled vote, and given power to the unprincipled Statists of both parties.

Winning is the ONLY thing the Republican Party leadership cares about, and their chairman has just confirmed it.  When you watch this interview, you will realize that the Republican Party is controlled by men who believe in NOTHING except winning.

It’s time to either start a new political party, or find one that welcomes people with principles.

New’s Flash:  Such a party already exists, and if enough people care more for principle than for political prostitution, we will start winning.

Standing for principle – the Founding Fathers understood it.
