Democrat and Republican lawmakers navigated a series of significant events in 2023. These included the removal of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., discussions about supporting nations in two separate wars, and the ongoing legal proceedings against former President Donald Trump. The upcoming year shows few signs of slowing down as the political divide grows wider and a momentous presidential election looms.
Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker asserts that as conservatives approach the 2024 election, it is vital they uphold “moral clarity.” Failure to do so, Parker argues, may allow the Left to steer values away from the principles that have historically defined America’s greatness.
So hopefully, reflection on 2023 will serve as a firm reminder on how important 2024 elections are, and also why they are so important. Conservatives cannot afford to fall asleep at the wheel in this next year’s elections. Not the primary, nor the general.
The Left are creative in their depravity. They are insistent on messages of hate. They are dedicated to policies of death and division. It’s not just the matter of wrongs being rights in their eyes. These dark-hearted salesmen want to change wrongs to be right of things that most would never have even considered, that we would even be having a public conversation about.
Men in women’s sports? Neighbors protesting for support of the terrorist organization Hamas? Heartland Ohio voting against the sanctity of unborn life? Conservatives can not afford to repeat the shock and the complacency of 2023 in this new coming year. Republicans began this year divided in the House of Representatives, as chaos and dysfunction led to a lengthy vote for speaker of the House.
Well, thank God. Later, after getting rid of Kevin McCarthy, who is my friend, thank God that they at least landed on an amazing Christian Conservative to lead the House in 2024.
Conservatives must be united. Conservatives must not lose their moral clarity, even when it means confronting populism or libertarianism, even in the GOP.
