Information
has surfaced regarding Melanie Flowers voting for Barack Hussein Obama and donating
to one of the most pro-abortion, Democrat Texas State Representatives, Ron
Reynolds. Flowers has been circulating a statement defending her decision to
vote for the most anti-American and lawless president in American history as
justified by virtue of a “historic moment.”
In an
email forwarded to me on 12/14/2013, Melanie Flowers volunteered an explanation
of this decision, saying, “My Republican voting history is the strongest and
longest of anyone in this race. With
that said many of our most honored Republican leaders would never have held
office if we condemned each one that ever voted in a democratic primary.” Flowers then went on to list various
Republican office-holders who have voted Democrat at one point in their lives,
going so far as to name Rick Perry.
Problematically,
however, her defense is not logically sound, since those Republicans who at one
time voted Democrat, usually switched many years ago and spent the rest of
their professional existence voting Republican and never looking back.
Republicans
become Republican because of what amounts to an ideological conversion
experience, wherein they realize every message and claim proffered by the other
party is either false or misguided – usually both.
If what
Flowers claims about her Republican credentials is accurate, then it is even
more concerning that she could whimsically abandon her alleged principles,
knowing what the other side stands for, simply to take part in a vote for
something other than 'the content of one's character' – the core of what most
mean when they utter the “historic moment” defense.
Many
momentous events are “historic,” and many of these same events are quite
unsavory. There is nothing excusable
about abandoning reason and principle to participate in a popularity contest.
Judges
must have a temperament that is levelheaded and uneasily swayed by emotional
pleas, genuine or manufactured. Voting
for Barack Obama (despite everything that was known about his background and
publicly available with even a modicum of basic research skills) demonstrates
poor judgment or even a complete lack of judgment.
The
facts suggest that Flowers's Democrat liaisons go far deeper than simply one
impassioned vote for a maniacal community organizer. Flowers donated to three separate Democrat
candidates as recently as 2010 and one of these candidates is the notorious Ron
Reynolds. Reynolds is a State Rep. who
was seen waving a coat hanger in Austin in support of Wendy Davis's
pro-abortion spectacle and whose rabid leftist views would discourage many
authentic conservative Republicans from even being seen in public places in
their company. A Biblical principle may
address the issue more effectively than mere logic: “Avoid even the very appearance of evil.”
Would
someone with good judgment even contribute a penny to a man who thinks it fine
to wave coat hangers in support of being allowed to kill the unborn a few extra
weeks? Common sense provides the
self-evident answer.
