Doug Wilson has weighed in on the Rick Santorum vs. Ron Paul debate with some good words of balance. I know many of you are Ron Paul supporters, therefore you should listen to what Wilson says. Wilson is not trying to get anyone to stop voting for Paul. But rather he is trying to keep us from making broad sweeping statements and overreaching. Ron Paul will not save America and Rick Santorum is not the antichrist. Rick Santorum will not save America and Ron Paul is not the antichrist. This does not make them equal, but it should make us careful about how we talk about them.
Here are three of Wilson's posts that are worth your time, even if they make you mad.
First, he explains why Rick Santorum's foreign policy is not equal to abortion. This is an important point to remember. Abortion is the most heinous sin in American history, maybe the history of the world. Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the fire bombing of Dresden pale in comparison to abortion. It is easy for the abortion debate to become stale. It shouldn't. That does not mean we should only think about abortion when it comes to voting. But it should be first on the list. Any candidate who does not vocally oppose abortion is ungodly. This does not mean Rick Santorum has a good foreign policy. It just means his foreign policy is not the equivalent of being pro-choice.
Second, he muses on why certain Ron Paul supporters feel like anyone who is not on the Ron Paul bandwagon has "insufficient zeal for the cause."
Finally, Pastor Wilson reminds us to not sacrifice the important things for our political ideas.
