Dear fellow Republican Convention Delegate or Alternate:
The Lexington County Convention passed several resolutions in hopes of presenting them to the State Republican Party for consideration by the State convention. However, to my surprise, a small number of individuals were able to table what I consider to be two of the most important resolutions and this was done over the objection of the chairman of the State Resolutions Committee. Since the resolutions will not be submitted in your convention packets, I intend to move to adopt the tabled resolutions from the floor. I write to you now urging you to consider the following resolutions and enclosed supporting materials in advance of the upcoming convention.
I argue the most foundational question is - is there a God? If the convention answers yes, then a logical follow-up question can be, if so, who is He? If we believe he is the I AM of Moses, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, the God of the Bible, then a next question can be, is the Bible the Word of God as it claims? If we answer that the Bible is the Word of God, then should we consider the Bible in making political decisions? For example, do we condemn theft because the Bible states “thou shalt not steal”? Do we condemn the act of murder because the Bible states “ thou shalt not kill” ? If so, should we consider the Word of God supreme over the opinions of man? If we answer all of these questions in the affirmative, then we too should pass the Lexington County Resolution which states the Republican Party recognizes the Bible as the supreme written authority to govern our elected officials, our laws, government and institutions.
The argument that this resolution creates a Church-State or theocracy is preposterous because the resolution empowers no man or body of men for its enforcement. As a practical matter, this resolution merely upholds the Bible as the most respected reference for political debate and decision making, a role it clearly performed for our nation's Founding Fathers. (See enclosed 1998 letter.)
The last century has witnessed the rejection of God and the Bible in Marxism-Leninism, Naziism, the Humanist Manifesto and by many leaders of the left. I argue that the widespread acceptance of the theory of evolution by the intelligentsia and its propagation through schools and the media has contributed to the rejection of the authority of the Bible which is evident today. What is not taught and propagated by the government schools and the media is the scientific evidence showing the impossibility of evolution (especially at the molecular and biochemical level - please read Michael Behe’s Darwin’s Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution) and the scientific evidence supporting special creation. Lexington’s resolution states that the Republican Party does hereby support legislation that would require any recipient of public funds that propagates the theory of evolution, the origin of the universe with a big bang and the earth and universe of great ages to give equal time to the developing scientific evidence opposing evolution, the origin of the universe by a big bang and which supports evidence for a young earth and universe. Legislative action is especially necessary in light of the advancement of the biased presentation of evolution recently mandated by the S.C. State Board of Education in the revised science standards. The famed Miller experiment marked the apex of support for the theory of evolution and since then, Institute for Creation Research (www.icr.org) has discovered and published mounting evidence which debunks the Miller experiment and this yet unproved theory.
During the 1998 Christmas season, I mailed a letter to the ‘98 Republican primary voters in the precincts that comprise the Northern District of the Lexington County Republican Party, for whom I have served as Chairman since 1997 . That letter discussed my concern with the propriety of media attacks on the Christian Right and advocated specific proposals that were submitted and ultimately passed at the county convention. Accordingly, a copy of that letter is enclosed to seek your support for the resolutions that were passed at the Lexington County Convention , in addition to the two resolutions outlined above.
We can no longer sit back as idle viewers while the liberal Democrats, media and government schools swallow up our nation's children with their tune of "politically correct" falsities. I strongly believe that we Republicans in South Carolina desire to restore our nation's government to the principles and ideals that once made it great. I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration of this material and look forward to joining you at the convention this Saturday.
Best regards,
