Christian Conservatives Must Not Compromise
Christian Conservatives Must Not Compromise
Voters reject liberalism, an evil ideology.
By Frank Pastore, Former major league pitcher Frank Pastore is the afternoon host on the Christian talk-radio station KKLA, 99.5 FM.

Christians, in politics as in evangelism, are not against people or the world. But we are against false ideas that hold good people captive. On Tuesday, this nation rejected liberalism, primarily because liberalism has been taken captive by the left. Since 1968, the left has taken millions captive, and we must help those Democrats who truly want to be free to actually break free of this evil ideology.

In the weeks and months to come, we will hear the voices of well-meaning people beseeching the victor to compromise with the vanquished. This would be a mistake. Conservatives must not compromise with the left. Good people holding false ideas are won over only if we defeat what is false with the truth.

The left must be defeated in the realm of ideas, just as it was on Tuesday at the ballot box. The left hates the ballot box and loves its courtrooms, which is why it hopes to continue to advance its agenda through the courts. This must end.

The left bewitches with its potions and elixirs, served daily in its strongholds of academe, Hollywood and old media. It vomits upon the morals, values and traditions we hold sacred: God, family and country. As we learned Tuesday, it is clear the left holds the majority of Americans, the majority of us, in contempt.

2. He's a liar, too.
They own the voting machines, not the popular majority's minds.

3. okay, I don't even know where to begin shredding this thing.... the courts
yes, that's it.

Who likes the courts? Whose worthless loser of a pug was installed by the courts? Who wants to stack the benches with conservative judges?

This moran should just go back to the planet he came from. :crazy:

4. "We continue to be that shining city set on a hill. And we fully accept
the responsibility; we are proud to be the envy of the world."

6. Frank Pastore
Forgot to mention slavery, the abuse of women, discrimination against all people of color, the burning of witches, and let's not forget child labor.

All of these things were once held as sacred.

He's right, I have always held fanatics of any stripe in contempt.

If he dies soon I'll make a special trip to spit on his grave.

7. This is a joke, right?
Didn't feel like giving the LA times my mother's maiden name, dog's age, social security number and driver's licence to read the column. Man, I've seen intrusive registration forms, but that one's the worst! No wonder they have a fruitcake like Pastore writing a column for them. What's he submit it on, clay tablets?

12. Frank sucked as a player
He was a really terrible pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds in the 1980's. His career stats are 48 wins 58 losses with 4.29 ERA.
