WB: Star Parker

Star Parker is founder of CURE Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education and a syndicated columnist in over 400 newspapers.

Parker said she wasn't sure how she was going to vote in the straw poll, but she was sure of one thing: "I'm not going to compromise."

She said that when God found her, she was believing all the lies of the Left. She was in a life of crime, drugs, and was headed toward her fourth abortion when she came to the realization that it was wrong for a mother to kill her unborn child.

Parker said there was a big moral question on the table, and we are in a cultural war. She said the secular worldview is built on the wisdom of man, while the Christian worldview is built on God's wisdom. She also applauded homeschooling and the difference it can make in the worldview our children adopt.

She said in adopting a secular worldview, we end up worshipping the creation, not the Creator. She said she wants a candidate who understands the Christian worldview. She said many children are stuck in an education system that denies this worldview, and they need help getting out.

Parker said that when Jesus saw the poor, he didn't tell his disciples to "take them down to the Department of Health and Human Services."

She also condemned our system of taxes and entitlements where people can envy what someone else has, and hire a politician to go and take it from that other person and give it to them.

She said, as the Bible says, not to remove the ancient landmarks, not to casually disregard the wisdom of the ages.

She lauded fatherhood and abstinence.

She spoke of the war on religion, and the "promotion of sodomy." She said the top problems facing us today stem from sexual immorality: AIDS, abortion, and the welfare state. "The moral decay, the decimation of the family...secularization is an equal opportunity destroyer."

She quoted Samuel Adams: "It doesn't take a majority to prevail, but an irate, tireless minority."

Parker was a firey and inspiring speaker, indeed! She's a woman who's gone from the gates of Hell to the Gates of Heaven--and it shows! She got one of the best ovations.
