Live Your Baptism With Your Vote

By DEACON MIKE MANNO

We’re about two weeks from the election, as this column is delivered, and after watching all the campaign ads, there is something very bothersome that is playing out. It is the preoccupation of Democrats and their candidates that the most important issue on the ballot is the right of a woman to play in Satan’s playground and to rip her unborn child limb-from-limb.

                Besides “Trump is a Nazi,” that seems to be their entire message to voters this year. And what mystifies me most is that the argument seems to be catching on. Now granted, I do not live in one of the seven swing states that are presumed to decide the presidency, but I do live in a state where the Democrats, abortion and all, are making a concentrated effort to capture the legislature.

                All those candidates, legislative as well as congressional, have the same shtick: You will lose all your rights if you can’t kill your child. As we know, abortion is one of the leading issues in this year’s election, coming in at Number 2 in many polls. But outside of a few general comments about building a better economy and fighting crime, the only specifics of the Biden-Harris party is how they will enable you to more easily kill your offspring.

                Nice to know one of our great parties is putting most of its eggs into that basket. And it is Satan’s playground as most exorcists will tell you.

                But it is not the idea that one major party is campaigning on that issue, it is the emphasis which it puts on it. It is, suggests their propaganda, the most important issue in the land, topping all other concerns:

                There is a serious problem we are having with crime and laws that protect, and sometimes prevent the arrest and detainment of career criminals. Yes, that is important but you Democratic women must understand that your abortion rights are more important than that.

                We have Chinese spies in the United States working to undermine the country. Thay have their own “police stations” to monitor Chinese refugees here who use threats against relatives to keep them quiet. They sent a spy balloon across the continental United States fishing for military intelligence, and as noted recently, there are unknown drones now flying around our Air Force bases. But don’t worry about that, keep your eye on what’s important: your right to kill your kid.

                We all worry about the “minuscule” numbers of illegal alien border crossers coming into the country. Remember, their crime rates are down, and Kamala is a former prosecutor. Understand that your right to “control your own body” trumps (no pun intended) all these concerns.

                Our public schools are open to everyone, and we should be proud of that. We understand when foreign children who can’t speak the language are filling your child’s classroom. That is only a minor distraction while education is the common good for all. But abortion is the key issue of concern to watch when you vote.

                And don’t worry about your children being indoctrinated in those public information camps we call schools; they are simply being taught the true American way without reference to the false history fed to us by the white-Christian establishment. We are broadening the little tikes’ minds. We take care of the kids; you make sure you can “take care” of the ones you don’t want. 

                And is it so bad for your junior high daughter, after gym class, to have to shower with the boy down the street who doesn’t understand gender as generations of closed-minded parents did? After all, if something beautiful happens we still have abortion to protect your little girl’s future.  

                Of course, don’t worry when we investigate suspicious religions, especially those that communicate in foreign and ancient languages. Remember, they oppose your right to a childless future. And when we use lawfare to attack those who deny your reproductive freedom, we are doing so to protect you from the fascists who will restrict that right.

                Inflation and the economy have become an insurmountable problem for many families. Don’t worry so much about it — prices are declining; just listen to your president. But you must worry about abortion; it’s the non-negotiable of this election.

                That is how the Democrats promote their most cherished sacrament. It is almost a religion to them, and they seek to impose it on all. I mentioned near the top of this column something about Satan’s playground. If you have ever read anything from an exorcist you will remember how they described Satan’s involvement with abortion; I am incapsulating those thoughts into the term Satan’s playground, for it certainly is that.

                So how will this election go? Will the fair-haired always-correct Kamala Harris win? Or will the Nazi from Mar-a-Lago take the top prize? It appears almost too close to venture a prediction, for as one pundit quipped, “it is tied and getting closer.”

                I don’t know if that is an accurate reading of the crystal ball, but I do have a theory: As the race moves towards completion the so-called undecideds will begin breaking in one direction, with that candidate receiving about 55% of that group’s votes, which will provide the winning margin for the next president.

                The only remaining question is: Will they resist values that have stood the test of time, Christian values such as family, freedom, and the promises of the Bill of Rights? Or will they break on behalf of the scourge of abortion? So, as you ponder your vote, remember the promises you made at your baptism: to renounce Satan, and all his works, and all his empty promises. Keep your word and reject him again at the ballot box.
