Are you a true conservative?

solely for educational purposes and does not support or oppose candidates for public office.

I was concerned earlier this year when Mitt Romney beat Newt Gingrich in Florida. No, it wasn’t because Romney got first place and Gingrich came in second. It was because so-called conservatives were hypocrites about their “conservative” values.

In the January 31 Florida exit poll of 2,835 Republicans who had just voted, 33% of the respondents identified themselves as “very conservative” and an additional 36% identified as “somewhat conservative.” Yet only 14% said the most important candidate quality is that he is a “true conservative.” Do the math — only 1 of 5 self-proclaimed conservatives prioritized voting conservative!

And I’m concerned about another thing. Some self-proclaimed moral conservatives don’t like our evidence-based Report Card on the Natural Family because they are either already loyal to a candidate or don’t apparently have moral standards for public policies when they vote.

Let me challenge the naysayers with the words of Jesus Christ, who, in Mark 7, described a list of sins, including “pride/arrogance” and “foolishness”:

And He was saying, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.” (Mark 7:20-23 NASB)

Note how Jesus listed pride (or arrogance) and foolishness as sins, not mistakes. How are these sinful behaviors expressed in our lives?

Arrogance is claiming you know something you don’t, or saying someone doesn’t know what they do.

Foolishness is just the opposite, claiming you don’t know something when you should know better.

I have been arrogant at times and foolish more times. And for that, I need to confess, repent, and ask forgiveness from God in Jesus’ name. How about you?

But please, don’t be prideful or arrogant – or foolish — in this year’s presidential race.

Don’t think you know how the candidate stands on moral and family values without first seeing our unbiased and documented Report Card on the Natural Family.

And don’t be foolish by claiming you didn’t know or didn’t have the time to know. Voting in the dark is like swinging a sword in a dark room full of people. Someone’s going to get hurt.  That’s why a principled Christian and former California assemblyman is glad we’re turning on the light:

“Randy Thomasson and his organizations SaveCalifornia.com and SaveAmerica.com are doing everyone in the nation a Godly service by providing the unadulterated and clear and documented evidence of the actual public policy positions of the Republican candidates on family values,” said Steve Baldwin, former California state assemblyman (1994-2000) and former executive director of the Council on National Policy (2001-2009).

“While not all candidates tell the truth, the Report Card on the Natural Family certainly does. Randy and his team are helping many people discern between truth and lies, between facts and hearsay on where the candidates really stand on these important issues for the future of our culture.”

TAKE ACTION: Please make humility and wisdom a priority for America’s sake. See and share our presidential Report Card on the Natural Family.

“Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
Jesus Christ in John 7:24 (NKJV)

Do super thinking here on Super Tuesday

Tuesday, March 6, 2012, 12:29 pm |

So far this year, today is when the most people are choosing the Republican nominee for President.

It’s “Super Tuesday” today in the presidential primary/caucus states of Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming. But more than watching the news, have you been watching and discerning which Republican candidate stands for your values?

For the last month and a half, SaveCalifornia.com and our national arm SaveAmerica.com have been firing on all cylinders to tell people the truth of where Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum really stand on 10 moral/family issues in our Report Card on the Natural Family.

Our evidence-based Report Card on the Natural Family has already been seen by hundreds of thousands of conservatives in early primary states. Please inform your friends and don’t let them vote without knowledge. Send our Report Card to your entire list of contacts via email and social networking.

When you think about it, actions truly mean more than words. The consistent records of the candidates mean the most and are the likeliest predictors of what any of them would do as president.

Consider Arnold Schwarzenegger, who, during the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election, said “I think that…marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman.” Yet he supported homosexual adoptions and awarding marital rights to homosexual couples. As Governor, he and his wife both had homosexual chiefs of staff. So was it any surprise that, in his second term, Schwarzenegger opening championed homosexual “marriage” and refused to defend Proposition 8? Again, actions over time mean more than words from the campaign trail.
