I will get into specifics later, but Christians should use their minds, as well as their hearts.  A 7th grader could see that many of the points made in the post about Baldwin are constitutionally impossible.  

The scariest part of the post follows:

I will use the constitutional power of the Presidency to deny funds to protect abortion clinics. Either way, legalized abortion ends when I take office. “

What do Baldwin and his followers mean by this?  What does he mean “deny funds to protect abortion clinics?  Does that mean it is OK to commit violence with no police reprisal?  How Christian is that? 

This seems to go way over the line from a passioned opposition to abortion, which is reasonable, all the way to an unhinged, ignorant view of the political landscape, and some very basic facts about the functioning of our constitution and government.  Very odd from the candidate of the Constitution Party.

An election is a choice.  Choices that Christians face require Christian stewardship.  Christian stewardship demands prayerful and thoughtful decision-making.  If a Christian takes the time to become informed about our government and the candidates, they will quickly realize that a vote for Baldwin is very poor stewardship.
