I know a lot of conservatives who are saying they won't bother going to the polls if Romney is nominated. I won't say they are right or wrong. I state that as a fact that needs to be archived in our national psyche for the eventuality that a president whom conservatives elected presides over the end of American freedom as we know it. Many of us think it is entirely possible.
Many of these people believe that evil is like an out-of-control forest fire and needs to burn itself out. Hitler's Germany, Mao's China, the Soviet Union, and more recently, the collapsing EU and euro zone, were/are good examples of this kind of sociopolitical forest fire.
Evil behaves just like an act of nature -- a volcano, earthquake, flood, forest fire -- and while it is absolutely wrong to sit back and do and say nothing, fighting it may ultimately be futile. We need to prepare for that possibility. I mean you can fight local manifestations of evil, on a local level, and hold back the tide for a while. But the geopolitical entirety of it is overwhelming, and at the very least, is not a task to which humans measure up. Ultimately, the outcome is decided by God. And God is no bean counter. He counts only righteous people vs unrighteous, not how cleverly they manipulate elections by calculating who has the better chance to win, regardless of their lack of scruples.
