Get a Grip

Last night, the American people took the Republican Party to the woodshed.

Immediately, frantic pro-lifers across the country began pacing back and forth feverishly wringing their hands. While understandable, this reaction is wholly unjustified.

Let’s not forget that when Bill Clinton was elected, the abortion lobby and their media stooges tried to talk us into quitting by telling us that the battle was over. That was not true about the 1992 elections and it will not be true about the 2006 elections.

The Battle Isn’t Over…

In the first place, God did not lose His office. He’s still sitting on the throne and He’s not going anywhere.

Second, this election was not a referendum on abortion. In fact, during the campaign the Democrats did everything they could to keep it from becoming one. Their constant attempts to politically insulate themselves from their radical pro-abortion position proved, once again, that even they know it’s a loser.

Third, several of the Democrats who were elected are pro-life and some of the Republicans who lost were pro-abortion. Given that the GOP was never going to let these Republicans lose in the primaries, the only way they were ever going to be voted out was by the Democrats. And that’s what happened.

Fourth, the fate of the pro-life cause has never been joined at the hip with the fate of the Republican party – and it should never become so! Without a doubt, the most irresponsible thing the pro-life movement could ever do would be to put the lives of helpless babies and desperate moms into the hands of those clowns and jugglers found inside the GOP’s “big tent.”

The bottom line is, the Republicans got what was coming to them.

In the so-called “Republican Revolution” of 1994, they were given control over both houses of Congress for the first time in generations. Then in 2000, they kept that control and added the presidency. But with time, it became clear that these people believe in little, will fight for even less, and are just as corrupt as the Democrats. In the end, they squandered the opportunities they were given in 1994 and the beating they just took was predictable, inevitable and well-deserved.

So let’s just get back to work and let the Republicans lick their own wounds. Our attitude should be that if one of the nation’s political parties ever decides to get serious about stopping this holocaust, they know where to find us.

In the mean time, we’ve got babies to save.
