Jackson, a Marine Corps veteran, graduate of Harvard Law School and
adjunct professor of law, is echoing the words of Moses in a campaign to
persuade Christians of all races that the time has come for a wholesale exodus
of Christians from the Democrat Party.
The former candidate for U.S. Senate in Virginia points to what
he calls the Democrat party's “cult-like devotion” to abortion; the rejection
of the traditional biblical model of family; the hostility hurled at those who
express a Christian viewpoint
such as Chick-fil-A president and Chief Operating Officer Dan Cathy; the
actions of organizations such as the ACLU and the Foundation For Freedom From
Religion in suing cities and towns for displaying crosses at memorials or
mentioning the name Jesus in prayer at official events.
Beyond all of this, Jackson says, Democrat operatives are also
attacking Gabrielle Douglas, the 16-year old black American who won the 2012
gold medal in gymnastics.
“The accomplished young lady had the nerve to give glory to God
for her win,” Jackson says. “This apparently offended liberals.”
Case in point: Mary Elizabeth Williams, journalist for the
progressive online magazineSalon.com, wrote,
“I've often wondered what it is about Christians like Douglas that unnerves me
so ... Douglas and her ilk seem to espouse a faith based on what is commonly
referred to as 'The God of Parking Spaces.'”
Jackson, founder and president of STAND (Staying True to
America's National Destiny), responds: “Progressives are indeed 'unnerved' by
devout Christians. That's why they resort to ridicule, even of a 16-year-old
Olympic medal winner. Williams says we worship 'The God of Parking Spaces,' but
I would prefer Gabby's God of grace and kindness to the leftist's god of
ridicule and persecution.
“Our Heavenly Father loves us and helps those who are humble
enough to ask Him.”
Later this month when Democrats make same-sex marriage part of
their official Party Platform, the former practicing attorney says they will be
spitting in the face of every Bible-believing Christian in America: “They will
be saying, 'We don't care what you think, what you believe, or what the Bible
or the God of the Bible says. We know better than God.'”
Jackson's message to Christians is, “The Democrat Party has
turned its back on Christians. It is time to turn our backs on the Democrat
Party.” Source
