Becoming Weaker Than Evil

I recently read a quote from R.J. Rushdoony that is very applicable to modern politicians, political parties and religious leaders/influencers.  In his commentary on the Book of Deuteronomy, he discussed the “Song of Moses” in chapter 32, which gave a warning to the children of Israel that God would judge their disobedience.  The pertinent part of the chapter for the quote is the section below where God compares His enemies to Sodom and Gomorrah.

28 “For they are a nation void of counsel, Nor is there any understanding in them.
29 Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!
30 How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Unless their Rock had sold them, And the LORD had surrendered them?
31 For their rock is not like our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter.
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of cobras.
34 ‘Is this not laid up in store with Me, Sealed up among My treasures?
35 Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.’
36 “For the LORD will judge His people And have compassion on His servants, When He sees that their power is gone, And there is no one remaining, bond or free.

Deuteronomy 32:28-36 (NKJV)

Rushdoony then gives this commentary:

The enemies of God have a strength that comes from consistency: they are unequivocally the heirs of Sodom and Gomorrah (v. 32-33). Clear-cut evil is always stronger than the pharisaical, who claim a character they do not have, and who live in terms of an equivocal and divided premise. Whenever the godly become compromisers, they become weaker than the evil.  They have no consistency and their strength is diluted and destroyed. A once strong Western world is now a faltering cripple because it has no uncompromising premise.

In today’s political landscape, compromise is seen as an effort to broaden the voter base.  It is done with a goal of strengthening the candidate (or party).  Such utilitarian schemes ignore the maxim that they lower themselves in strength below those who expound evil policies or moral stands.

The Constitution Party is looking for uncompromising men and women to run for political office.  You will not need to water down your constitutional or moral principles to please an establishment definition of “strength” that is weakness in disguise.
