Kamala Harris adds her name to the sorry state of the 2020 presidential bid
Kamala Harris
Democrat Kamala Harris announced her candidacy for the office of US President:
January 21, 2019
WASHINGTON —
Kamala Harris, a first-term senator and former California attorney general known for her rigorous questioning of President Donald Trump’s nominees, entered the Democratic presidential race on Monday. Vowing to “bring our voices together,” Harris would be the first woman to hold the presidency and the second African-American if she succeeds.
Harris, a daughter of immigrant parents who grew up in Oakland, California, is one of the earliest high-profile Democrats to join what is expected to be a crowded field. She made her long anticipated announcement on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“I am running for president of the United States,” she said. “And I’m very excited about it.”
The 54-year old portrayed herself as a fighter for justice, decency and equality in a video distributed by her campaign as she announced her bid. “They’re the values we as Americans cherish, and they’re all on the line now,” Harris says in the video. “The future of our country depends on you and millions of others lifting our voices to fight for our American values.”
Harris launched her presidential bid as the nation observes what would have been the 90th birthday of the slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The timing was a clear signal that the California senator – who has joked that she had a “stroller’s-eye view” of the civil rights movement because her parents wheeled her and her sister Maya to protests – sees herself as another leader in that fight.
She abandoned the formality of launching an exploratory committee, instead going all in on a presidential bid.
She plans a formal campaign launch in Oakland on Jan. 27. The campaign will be based in Baltimore, with a second office in Oakland.
Harris joins what is expected to be a wide-open race for the Democratic presidential nomination. There’s no apparent front-runner at this early stage and Harris will face off against several Senate colleagues.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York have both launched exploratory committees. https://www.voanews.com/a/senator-kamala-harris-jumps-into-presidential-race/4751864.html
Notice that she stated she would “fight for our American values.”
“American values” used to include some respect for biblical morality, being opposed to abortion, supporting only male-female marriage, discouraging use of mind-altering drugs, etc.
Anyway, here are some of her positions:
Abortion
Since her election to the Senate, Harris has maintained a 100% rating by the pro-choice Planned Parenthood Action Fund and a 0% rating by the pro-life National Right to Life Committee.
Cannabis
In May 2018, Harris announced she would co-sponsor the Marijuana Justice Act, which Sen. Cory Booker introduced in August 2017. …
Death penalty
Harris is opposed to the death penalty, (Kamala Harris. Wikipedia, accessed 01/21/19)
Notice also the following from October 2017:
Kamala Harris emerges as LGBT favorite for 2020
Harris has a staunchly pro-LGBT record. As California attorney general, she declined to defend California’s ban on same-sex marriage Proposition 8 in court. When the U.S. Supreme Court restored marriage equality to California, she officiated at the wedding of Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, the first same-sex wedding after the ruling, and instructed clerks to marry same-sex couples seeking a license with “no exceptions.” https://www.losangelesblade.com/2017/10/26/kamala-harris-emerges-lgbt-favorite-2020-theres-just-one-thing/
It appears that to run as a Democrat for president, one must condone the killing of unborn babies as well as sexual immorality that the Bible condemns (Romans 1:18-32). Now that is NOT a statement of support for Republicans per se nor Donald Trump.
Notice the following from the left-leaning publication Politico:
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand regrets that, as a conservative-leaning Democratic congresswoman, she backed gun rights and held “callous” views on immigration.
Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is sorry for past “offensive and hurtful statements” about the LGBTQ community. …
While White House aspirants have long sought to dispense with unflattering elements of their records, the velocity of the party’s leftward shift has Democratic hopefuls scrambling to catch up — making remorse an early staple of the campaign. The grueling, eight-minute segment Gillibrand endured on Rachel Maddow’s show Wednesday night on her ideological transformation was probably only a taste of what’s in store.
“People want answers to the questions [about candidates’ records] right now,” said Jerry Skurnik, a Democratic consultant in New York. “But there’s also no question that a large proportion of the Democratic Party’s likely voters has moved further to the left.”
The number of candidates seeking repentance is expected to grow. Former Vice President Joe Biden, who served for decades in the Senate, will be forced to relive his push for the crime bill of 1994, …
Sen. Kamala Harris … is already seeing her record dissected as a career line prosecutor, district attorney and then state attorney general. And Sen. Elizabeth Warren, now exploring a run of her own, has faced questions about being a member of the Republican Party until her switch in 1996. …
“In my past, I said and believed things that were wrong, and worse, they were very hurtful to the people in the LGBTQ community and to their loved ones,” Gabbard said in the apology video. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/18/2020-elections-democrats-past-positions-1115906
It is a sorry state of affairs. As for Donald Trump, here is a link to my article Donald Trump in Prophecy, which has a lot of information about him and many of his issues.
The 2020 presidential election will feature people who are against many aspects of biblical morality.
The Bible itself warns that if the children of Israel sinned and did not repent, the following would happen:
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths. (Isaiah 3:12)
So, we see a specific biblical prophecy warning of a time where there will be female rulers. And, as this has happened to descendants of Ephraim having a female in the top office, this would be expected to affect descendants of Manasseh. (Information on the roles of Christian women is in the article Women and the New Testament Church.)
The Bible also warns:
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed. (Isaiah 9:16)
It seems like all who are potentially major candidates for the 2020 presidential election advocate and promote several positions which are not biblically good.
The Apostle Paul warned:
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
Many of those statements apply to those who wish to win the 2020 US Presidential election (from whatever political party).
Now none of who are expected to be candidates for USA president will turn the nation back to God, thus none will truly fix the problems in the USA. It will take the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God to do that.
Politico’s comment about the sorry state of those seeking the office of US President in 2020 is correct, but more so in ways it has not considered.
There are reasons the USA, leader of the West, will be eliminated as a nation towards the beginning of the Great Tribulation (watch also our latest sermon video The Bible, the USA, and the King of the West).
