John Mark Reynolds” “Give ‘Em Scorpions” Politics: Avoiding Rehoboam’s Folly
John Mark Reynolds is awesome.
He recently wrote an article called “Give ‘Em Scorpions” Politics: Avoiding Rehoboam’s Folly. You need to read the whole thing. It talks about Solomon’s son Rehoboam who is largely to blame for the division between the tribe of Judah, and the rest of Israel.
Rehoboam broke the coalition between Israel and Judah, much the way the Huckabee’s campaign manager wants to break the house that Reagan built. It wasn’t enough for him to give us Bill Clinton, by running Ross Perot, but I digress.

If the old Reagan coalition is dissolved, then it will not be those who do the deed who suffer first, but millions more unborn children who might have been saved.
As I vote, and I will vote, let me vote for a person who can keep a coalition together and not break it up on its fault lines.
As I vote, pray God, let me be patient and accept slow change that the people can accept and not demand everything that will cost me everything.
As I vote, let me listen to older and wiser heads without becoming cynical and dropping out.
Let me avoid Rehoboam’s folly in the ballot box this year.
If you have no idea what he is talking about, read this article!

There is something that is important to remember. After this election is over, if the Republican party is fractured, the liberal agenda will slide right into place since there will not be a strong unified opposition. I am convinced after months of close observation, that the liberal press and its handlers are trying to cause divisiveness among Republicans. I have decided to be more respectful to other candidates who are conservative (not McCain or Huckabee) even though I know Mitt would be best because we need to hold our party together or the future will belong to the Democrats.
