HWJV: How would Jesus vote?
Posted By katie allison granju
Some say he’d go with the Libertarian ticket:
Dr. Rushdoony notes: “Western liberty began when the claim of the State to be man’s savior was denied. The State then, according to Scripture, was made the ministry of justice. But, wherever Christ ceases to be man’s Savior, there liberty perishes as the State again asserts its messianic claims. Man is in trouble, and history is the record of his attempt to find salvation. Man needs a savior, and the question is simply one of choice: Christ or the State? No man can choose one without denying the other, and all attempts at compromise are a delusion.
“Thus, the key issue of our time is lordship or sovereignty: Who is the lord or sovereign, Christ or the State? Christmas reminds us once again of the birth of this world’s only true Lord or Sovereign. We will either acknowledge Him or be judged by Him.”

Western liberty began when the church began to lose its power to dictate to the state what was or was not law. Religious law infringes on personal liberties and should keep itself to religious matters.
We live in a democratic republic not a theocracy, and many of our current would be leaders would do well to remember this. Theocracy and tyranny are much too close to each other to ever be American ideals.
