My Congressman Fighting Communism

My state senator, Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan, has a guest post at Red State – Shouldn’t the GOP At Least Be Anti-Communist?

As is its wont, the new minority is awash in a bubble bathos of internecine ideological recriminations bent on divining who is or is not a “real Republican.” (In fairness, the question isn’t posed by more discreet individuals, like NRCC telemarketers.) All of these proposed litmus tests of our party’s “orthodoxy” are odious and unconstructive.

But, hey! Since the inquisitional tide is high, let’s surf the zeitgeist and add a new GOPique: Maybe I missed the memo, but when did the party of Ronald Reagan stop being anti-communist?

Am I Liberal or Conservative?

Neither. I am a Christian woman who believes in the truths of God’s Word. Some of those beliefs are:

• Sanctity of all human life from a biblical creationist viewpoint, all life is sacred, including the life of an unborn child. This is not about my personal choice but God’s decision to bring life. I guess you could say that I am a Conservative.
• Helping the poor and weak. I believe it is my responsibility to take care of those in need. That could make me a liberal except I don’t need the government to tell me where I need to go. Jesus walked among the needy and took care of them. He is my example.
• Sanctity of marriage. God started the family as one man and one woman. He called it good. Why do I want to mess with it?
• Lower taxes. I’ve never met a liberal who voluntarily gives more money to Uncle Sam. If I earn money I believe I have the right to spend it my way. You could say that I am pro-choice in how I spend my money!
• Strong military. Our Constitution requires us to provide for the common defense. Diplomacy is great but a bullet sometimes gets right to the heart of the matter! Support our troops!
