Grammer reflects on his consideration of running for political office, motivated by a sense of service rather than self-promotion. He discusses his admiration for the founding fathers and his pride in American history, as well as his desire to honor those who fought for the country, including his own reflections on his missed military service opportunity during Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>Grammer&#8217;s journey toward faith has been complex, shaped by personal tragedies such as his sister\u2019s murder and the loss of their unborn child through abortion. These experiences, along with his ongoing relationship with Jesus, have strengthened his beliefs and influenced his perspective on service and sacrifice. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nancy-mace-blames-barrage-of-threats-on-abc-interview\/\" title=\"Nancy Mace attributes surge in threats to recent ABC interview\">expresses deep gratitude<\/a> for his faith, which helped him find peace amid life&#8217;s hardships.<\/p>\n<p>He has also been involved in projects emphasizing Christian themes, such as a documentary series about the American Revolution and a film about young George Washington, showcasing his gratitude for his faith and historical roots.Despite past struggles with anger and doubts, Grammer now embraces his faith publicly, viewing it as a guiding force in his life. His story underscores the significance of faith, sacrifice, and service as vital virtues that could inspire public leadership.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Does the political realm constitute the best venue in which to serve God? Many prominent Christians must face that question.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in an interview published on Wednesday, legendary actor and unapologetic Christian Kelsey Grammer told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/kelsey-grammer-would-consider-running-for-political-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Us Weekly<\/a> that he has thought about running for political office, albeit for reasons that, in true Christian fashion, have nothing to do with self-promotion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would consider it. It would possibly tick that box for me, in terms of the service I feel I should have given to my fellow man \u2014 to my fellow countrymen \u2014 that I missed in the military,\u201d the 71-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kelsey-grammer-defies-hollywood-goes-record-glowing-review-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grammer<\/a> said. \u201cMaybe that would be the way to do it. I have wrestled with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001288\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >show business career<\/a><\/a>, Grammer emerged as a beloved television figure while playing Dr. Frasier Crane on the long-running NBC sitcom \u201cCheers\u201d (1984-1993). After \u201cCheers,\u201d the even longer-running spinoff sitcom \u201cFrasier,\u201d starring Grammer as the character he made famous on \u201cCheers,\u201d catapulted him to stardom (1993-2004).<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, however, the actor dwells on service, particularly his lost opportunity to serve in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-trump-physically-supports-marine-maj-james-capers-88-awarding-unkillable-vietnam-vet-congressional-medal-honor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vietnam War<\/a>. Grammer registered for the draft, Us Weekly reported, but he was never called to the service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were people \u2014 my peers, young people my age \u2014 who went and died there,\u201d he recalled. \u201cI always thought there was a kind of sense of personal deficit in my own life, in my life story, that I didn\u2019t serve in the military because my father had, my grandfather had, but in the circumstances of Vietnam and my generation, it was less attractive in some ways. I breathed a sigh of relief, and I didn\u2019t go, and now I have a sense of regret that I should have served in some way anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps his work as host of \u201cThe Patriot War\u201d \u2014 a <a href=\"https:\/\/nation.foxnews.com\/the-patriot-war-hosted-by-kelsey-grammer-nation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">documentary series<\/a> about the American Revolution \u2014 has him thinking even more about military service. That series is currently streaming on Fox Nation. Us Weekly reports that it gives prominent space to Washington\u2019s religious faith.<\/p>\n<p>Grammer also has a role in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt32104007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Young Washington<\/a>,\u201d a new movie from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/angel-studios-david-goliath-sized-step-forward-christian-entertainment-go-see\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christian-centric Angel Studios<\/a> that focuses on the life of the first president decades before his turn as commander of the Continental Army.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very, very proud to be connected in a deep way to the selfless and courageous acts of the people who founded this country, and I look on it as an obligation to continue what is a love letter in a lot of ways, but a deep gratitude for the opportunity they gave me,\u201d Grammer said of America\u2019s Revolutionary Era heroes. \u201cI mean, if they hadn\u2019t been here, who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/video-kelsey-grammer-s-jesus-old-cheers-bar-buddies-incredible-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grammer<\/a> run for office, the Christian virtues of service and sacrifice would direct his steps.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, like many Christians, Grammer has not had a smooth journey to faith.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/kelsey-grammer-refuses-back-down-from-conservative-values-despite-hollywood-pressure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>, in a February appearance on the \u201cArroyo Grande\u201d podcast with host Raymond Arroyo, Grammer revealed that at times in his life he thought he was done with God, \u201cbut He wasn\u2019t done with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1975, Grammer\u2019s 18-year-old younger sister Karen was raped and murdered. That horrific crime left the future acting star angry, bellicose, and distant from God.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, Grammer published \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Karen-Brother-Remembers-Kelsey-Grammer\/dp\/1400252814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Karen: A Brother Remembers<\/a>,\u201d a memoir about his sister. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/catholicvote.org\/kelsey-grammer-the-abortion-of-my-son-eats-away-at-my-soul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catholic Vote<\/a>, the actor wrote about not only Karen\u2019s murder but also two other tragedies.<\/p>\n<p>In 1974, Grammer\u2019s pregnant girlfriend aborted their child.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThough I have supported it in the past, the abortion of my son eats away at my soul,\u201d Grammer wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI supported the idea that a woman has the right to do what she wants with her own body. I still do,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBut it\u2019s hard for me. Still is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, years later, doctors convinced Grammer and his current wife, Kayte, to abort their twin boy, whose amniotic sac had ruptured at 13 weeks, in order to save their twin girl, a daughter they named Faith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe killed our son so Faith might live. We wept as we watched his heart stop,\u201d the actor recalled in the memoir. \u201cIt is the greatest pain I have ever known. Kayte\u2019s scream was enough to make a man mourn a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Enough to make a man mourn a lifetime. <\/em>Could even the most ardent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-bill-fleece-pro-lifers-emotionally-harming-abortion-doctors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pro-life<\/a> activists could find a better phrase for the horror they seek to eradicate?<\/p>\n<p>In any event, Grammer summarized his faith journey in a 2023 interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/movies\/2023\/02\/22\/kelsey-grammer-interview-jesus-revolution\/11275289002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USA Today<\/a>. while promoting the movie \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jesus-revolution-hits-incredible-new-milestone-becomes-prominent-studios-top-film-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jesus Revolution<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had hiccups,\u201d he recalled. \u201cI\u2019ve had some tragic times. I have wrestled with those and worked my way through them: Sometimes rejecting faith, sometimes rejecting God even, in a period of being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/meads-joe-biden-blames-nations-foul-mood-on-psychological-impact-of-covid-19\/\" title=\"MEADS: Joe Biden Blames Nation\u2019s Foul Mood On \u2018Psychological Impact\u2019 Of COVID-19\">pretty angry<\/a> about it, like, \u2018Where were you?\u2019 That kind of thing. But I have come to terms with it and have found great peace in my faith and in Jesus. It\u2019s not cavalier \u2013 Jesus made a difference in my life. That\u2019s not anything I\u2019ll apologize for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Grammer told Arroyo, his anguish led to a spiritual encounter with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mainstream-media-deceptively-twists-truth-world-cup-stars-jesus-honoring-celebration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jesus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you think it\u2019s time for you to give it up?\u201d the actor said he heard Jesus say of the pain Grammer still felt over his sister\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said, \u2018No, it\u2019s OK, I\u2019ve carried it this long, I can still handle it. It\u2019s mine.\u2019 And He said, \u2018No, it\u2019s mine. That\u2019s why I came,&#8217;\u201d Grammer recalled.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Grammer values service and sacrifice. And he has seen his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jordan-takes-important-step-freedom-christians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christian<\/a> faith forged in the crucible of tragedy. He also has a personal relationship with Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>Americans could use someone like that in public office.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
