(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.

The other day, I saw a post from a leader of the organization "Women of Welcome" that posed this question: “Confused by Christians who: Spent money Raised money Prayed for Traveled & Sent their own kids to the 10/40 window to plant ‘seeds for the gospel’ And now to champion the deportation of the harvest.” I’m sorry, but I’m confused by Christians who so badly distort Scripture that they think allowing millions to flood into our country illegally somehow fulfills the Great Commission.

I took a wrong turn. I was headed to the gym after work, something I do once or twice a week when I can squeeze it in. It was Friday; my mind was burdened with work stress, party logistics for my daughter’s birthday over the weekend, and just a general heaviness from recent events in our country. I suddenly realized I had exited the freeway to head home, instead of driving down a few more exits to get to the gym. In the past five years of commuting to and from my work, I had never made this...

In a world of viral social media posts and sensational headlines, we often hear stories when someone is killed. These stories gain the most traction if there is an unequal power dynamic between the suspect and the victim, such as a police officer killing a citizen or a parent killing a child, or some other unique social relationship such as a teen killing another teen or someone of one skin color killing someone of another skin color. In light of the recent death of Austin Metcalf, a white...
