(Don't) Go Vote!


Liberals have built their current party on wide-sweeping “get out the vote” efforts for the past two decades. Even before social media became our main mode of communication, I remember concerted efforts to get young people to vote through local events, TV commercials, or blogging and email campaigns.

I caught onto the game pretty quickly.

Liberals thought that if they could simply get enough young, uneducated, illogical people to vote, they would win.

They bet on the odds that if they could get someone under age 30 to vote, they would vote blue.

If these young voters are already brainwashed by public education and progressive colleges and are now young adults who can be easily manipulated by emotional social media messaging, the Democrats could build a party with a high volume of voters with very little intelligence on true political issues.

​And it worked​.

As a conservative, I will rarely admonish people to “go vote.”

No, thank you.

As I’ve been trying to encourage people to vote and vote early, this election, I’ve had to think through who I want to target, so I don’t accidentally send Kamala voters to the polls.

  • I think you should vote if you are a man.
  • I think you should vote if you are over the age of 60.
  • I think you should vote if you are a married woman and you can check one of these other categories below.
  • You attend church at least 3 times per month.
  • You read your Bible at least 1-2 times per week.
  • You pray daily.

But if you don’t fall into these categories, I actually don’t care if you vote.

Because I want people to head to the polls because they share the same values that I do.

I am voting...

~ To maintain my First Amendment rights to speak freely and worship God.

~ To stop any momentum toward the federal legalization of abortion

~ To protect my four beautiful daughters by keeping them safe in bathrooms and locker rooms and maybe even giving them a chance to grow up playing sports like I did

~ To close the border, even just an inch

~ To stop sending money abroad so we can afford life at home

They say it’s not about who you vote for, it’s what you vote for. But if you can’t figure out the difference between who wants you to be free and who only wants you to be free to kill your own child, you probably shouldn't vote. Please stay home.

I have long believed that one cannot and should not violate his or her conscience in voting. If you sincerely cannot support a certain candidate, even if you agree with most of their policy issues, you should not vote against your conscience. The Bible is clear: Whatever does not proceed from faith is sin (Romans 14:23). You should not take a vaccine, play a sport, attend a school or church, hang out with a friend, take a job, or have a drink if something deep within your heart says “This is...

Imagine this... You spend a year and a half with your oldest daughter poring over websites and visiting campuses in search of the right college for her. You want a nice Christian college where she will make great friends, learn from godly professors, and grow in her faith. The admissions counselors on the campus tours are engaging and friendly. They show you shiny dorms, talk to you about Jesus and intramural sports, and even take you to chapel where students are worshiping, hands raised. It...

About a week ago, my girls and I were unloading groceries from our minivan around 5 pm. I was trying to hustle and get dinner started, so I was unprepared when a group of people walked up onto our driveway. They were a canvassing group, “Latinos for Blue” or something like that. With my children running around beside me, the gentleman in the group handed me a flyer. He told me they were out in support of Kamala Harris for president, Ruben Gallego for senate, and as he flipped to the back of...
