"That Barack Obama trounced John McCain last Tuesday should have surprised no one. In fact, in this column, weeks ago, I stated emphatically that John McCain could no more beat Barack Obama than Bob Dole could beat Bill Clinton. He didn't. (Hence a vote for John McCain was a "wasted" vote, was it not?) I also predicted that Obama would win with an electoral landslide. He did. The real story, however, is not how Barack Obama defeated John McCain. The real story is how John McCain defeated America's conservatives. "

"

Again, it wasn't Barack Obama who destroyed conservatism; it was George W. Bush, John McCain, and the millions of evangelical Christians who supported them. And until conservatives find their backbone and their convictions, they deserve to remain a burnt-out, has-been political force. They have no one to blame but themselves.

"And since it is unlikely that the Republican Party has enough sense to understand any of this and will, therefore, do little to reestablish genuine conservative principles, it is probably best to just go ahead and bury the scoundrels now and move on to something else. Without a sincere commitment to constitutional government, the GOP has no justifiable reason to ever govern again. Therefore, put a fork in them. They are done. Let a new entity arise from the ashes: one that will stand for something more than just "the lesser of two evils." As we say in the South, That dog just won't hunt anymore." Read Full Article Here

This article says it all as far as I am concerned!

"I suppose that the main reason Christians think that McCain is less of an evil than Obama is the abortion issue. There is no question that Obama’s views on abortion are reprehensible. But then he doesn’t claim to be pro-life like McCain does. If McCain is so pro-life then why did he vote to confirm to the U.S. Supreme Court pro-abortion justices like Stephen Breyer, Ruth Ginsburg, and David Souter? Why did he consider the pro-abortion senator Joe Lieberman for his vice presidential running mate? Why does he think it is okay to kill babies who had the misfortune to be conceived via rape or incest? Why has he voted for Health and Human Services Title X funding for Planned Parenthood?"

"As bad as Obama is, it doesn’t change the fact that the Republicans deserved to lose. But because the Democrats didn’t deserve to win, some Christians thought they faced a dilemma and, after assuming the position outlined above, voted for McCain.

But there was no dilemma. There were other choices on the ballot – like Chuck Baldwin, a conservative Christian who is miles ahead of McCain when it comes to being a real conservative. But it comes as no surprise that Baldwin was rejected since Ron Paul was likewise rejected in the Republican primaries."

There are thousands of people in Europe who have been ignored and suppressed, that could passionately warn naïve Americans about the insidious dangers of Socialism. Two German ladies came to Morning Star Baptist Church and shared with me the dire situation of this upcoming election. The one lady was eleven years old when Adolph Hitler came to power, and she said in sober tones, “you Americans are about to make a grave mistake” she continued “Socialism is very close to Fascism and it will Destroy America!”

Allow me to share ten reasons why I am NOT a Socialist.

1. Socialism disguises itself to level the economical playing field, but in reality, the middle and lower income brackets are penalized when the wealthy are overtaxed.

2. Socialism has proven historically that Communism is the goal. Because Socialism cannot achieve its tenets unless there exists an increase of totalitarian control from the Government.

3. Socialism preys on the sympathies of the wealthy convincing them that Egalitarianism is humanitarian and your civic duty. In actuality, voluntary charity through churches and non-profit agencies is a better way. Americans stopped giving after FDR’s New Deal was implemented in 1933. Legislating donations destroys the spirit of giving.

4. Socialism encourages class envy. The middle and lower income classes ought to be thankful for the wealthy because they spend their money, create jobs, and they help stabilize the economy. Envy and jealous suspicion are counterproductive.

5. Socialism destroys incentive and ambition. see the rest of the story here

Obam's Win is the Big Deal! the Backstreet Boys, Nsync comment sums it all up!
All we can do is Pray!

This upcoming election has really been eating at me. For as long as I have been able to vote when someone were to ask me if I was Republican or Democrat I would answer “I don’t vote party lines I vote on issues and try to use biblical principles when deciding who or what to vote for and I generally find that is with the republican party”. I even tell this to the poll workers when voting and they ask me. I get funny looks but I don’t care. My dad taught me through many of his sermons years ago vote what is right and Godly and let God take care of the rest he is in control.

Isaiah 46

⁹ Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, ¹⁰ Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure

I am voting on biblical principals, as I hope you are as well.
Nowhere in the Bible does God say to vote or do the lesser of 2 evils.
Choosing between a phony conservative Republican and liberal Democrat is no choice at all. Voting for a party or person who does not hold the principles anywhere near what the Bible teaches results in a nation moving ever farther away from God.
I stand by my principles which are biblically based as best as this feeble minded man's can be, plain and simple.

Many Christians make statements like if I don’t vote for X Candidate even though I know they do not hold anywhere near the same biblical principals then someone worse may get in. I feel this relates well to Mark 8.

Mark 8:36-37
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Like most of you (I assume) I voted for George W. Bush a man I believe did not do many of the things he set out to do in office. I voted for him because he claims and evidences point that he is Christian. He claims to hold some of the same biblical principles I do, though VERY far off in doctrine!! The fact that he did not seem to carry out many of the things he wanted to do while in office is certainty debatable, and maybe not totally his fault.

I believe (humanly speaking) if Christians would just take a stand and vote on biblical values instead of party lines our country (Lord willing) would not be in such a mess. Instead many do not put their faith in God like they should, and vote for what they think is the best without truly consulting God about it.

2 chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

I will never expect a candidate (unless it is me, and as of this year I am eligible to be president) to be lined up with me 100% on all issues but they better line up 100% on the ones that are clear in the Bible, mainly Abortion,embryonic stem cell research, and Homosexuality. Then and only then will I worry about their beliefs on other issues. Yes I know candidates talk the talk, and we never really know what they will do until they get in office, I can only take what they say with a grain of salt, look at their record and PRAY PRAY PRAY!!!.

My personal convictions tell me I cannot vote Obama or Mcain

I told Lisa when the initial primary debates started that if either Rudy Giuliani or John Mcain win the primary, I will not vote for them, because their stance on abortion is so weak. Then came Sara Palin a women who seems to hold some of the same values I do, I pondered and prayed what to do. I could go on and on about not voting for Mcain but I digress. My bottom line(besides his historically weak abortion stance) on why not to vote for Mcain came down to:
1. Palin was not Mcain’s first choice (Joe Liberman was!) which leaves me to believe that Palin may not influence Mcain as much as people think.
2. Voting for John Mcain will not elect Sara Palin President.
3. Most of all After much prayer about who I should vote for a friend introduced me to another Presidential candidate who holds the same values as I do, I believe this candidate is the right choice for me. Chuck Baldwin

Romans 14:23 says
²³ And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

I do not have any faith whatsoever that Barack Obama or John Mcain are going to lead this country down the right path, I don’t even think they will make an attempt to! Do you?

Yes I know without divine intervention, the candidate I vote for will not win, but that is not my concern. You can’t tell me you know for sure if who you vote for will win either. I pray neither Obama nor Mcain get in. I don’t expect that to be the case (lack of faith I guess), but is our church still praying for a million dollars??

Does this mean if you vote for Mcain you are wrong? I don’t know that’s between you and God. , if you are convicted about something and someone else is not, it may not be a sin for the person who has a different conviction.

For me personally to vote for Mcain would be wrong.
Sorry for my rant, I only share this because when I was struggling with what to do a friend helped me and I didn’t really ask him too, I just prayed.

I hope this did not come across as prideful or arrogant in anyway I am only sharing what has been on my heart for several weeks now. I surely do not think I am better than any of you because of a different stance I may take.

Do right and TRUST God

While I don't agree with everything in this LONG article he does make some very good points!

"pro-life Christians are asked by their clergy to tolerate McCain and the Republicans to avoid Obama and the Democrats. This tactic is akin to supporting Communism to destroy Nazism. However in this case the chances of eradicating the evil of abortion are zilch. Just as there was little difference between the Communists and the Nazis there is even littler difference between the American Axis of the Republicans and Democrats. They are both socialist and totalitarian. Indeed, it is a hoax being played on the American people to make them believe there is a difference. Unfortunately for a people raised on TV and other fantasies this hoax is easily perpetrated."

"Christians must realize that the evil of abortion, like all moral evils, will only be eradicated when the populace converts from its neo-paganism. This is the job of the Church, not the current government, which itself is neo-pagan in its self-worship. Indeed, there is an indisputable correlation between the waxing of the State and vice and the waning of the family and virtue. As the State becomes more totalitarian its citizens become more vicious and as the citizens become more vicious the State becomes more totalitarian. Thus to end abortion we must defeat the totalitarian State and increase personal virtue. The most effective way of increasing personal virtue is to restore the sacrosanct status of the family. A strengthened family plus a weakened State equals a moral virtuous populace equals less abortion."

The next President will either make or break the heart of America. President Bush has had
tremendous pressure on him as a wartime president. His tenure has been on high alert and has
lasted longer than Abraham Lincoln’s presidency. So who will be the next Commander and
Chief? Who will do the voting? Will illegal aliens with valid driver’s licenses help to decide the
outcome? Will liberal population clusters, where those who are out of step with main stream
America ( I might add, out of step with American Heritage) bend the nation to their will? Praise the
Lord that our nation’s forefathers foresaw the need for an Electoral College!
“This was not a Republican democracy. It was a democratic Republic. The Founders feared
democracy as a dangerous form of government. The Electoral College was one firewall they
installed to prevent it. (Which is why it perennially comes under attack by liberals.)?”
Sherwin Dillard
I am a Christian who votes his conscience not his wallet. I am guided by my principles and my
principles are forged in the Bible, not by the mores of society. It is not about Republican versus
Democrat, rather Constitutional Republic versus Socialism.
Who should I vote for? We must remember that in the Sovereign Providence of God, He sets up
one king and He puts down another. I have a privileged responsibility to vote. God may have
other plans for America, therefore I pray that He does not give America what she deserves!!
“The lot is cast in the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.”
Proverbs 16:33
There is a sense in which I believe that we need to have a house cleaning of the Senate and the
Congress on the Federal and State level. The Declaration of Independence states:
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying the foundation on
such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Rome was an Empire until President Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon declaring himself the
Emperor. Our Central Government has been trashing State Rights since the War Between the
States, and we are still in a Civil War!
We need a godly revolt. Thomas Jefferson said, “The tree of liberty must be nourished, from time
to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Jefferson also said, “The spirit of resistance to
government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often
be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now
and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.”
Praise God for the “Bloodless transfer of power” every four years. Nevertheless, the dumbing
down of the American people and the stealing of true historical America from lazy minds,
creates a democratic mob rule that will eventually destroy this great Republic. As Winston
Churchill said: Democracy is the worse form of Government, but it is better than all the others.”
So what are we to do? "The people cannot be all, and always, well-informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they
remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public
liberty."
-- Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787.
If voting for the right man this November throws away my vote, then so be it! I am weary of
the moderate placating of Republicans, who are more concerned about the liberal media and the
delusional liberals, than they are with keeping their campaign promises and conservative values.
The Democrats do not scare me anymore. If Hillary and Obama become the dynamic Duo and
win the presidency, then maybe there will be a revival of courage among true Americans? Maybe
or maybe not?
The Person that I must vote is……………………………
1. One who is committed to Pro-Life and to overturning Roe-vs-Wade
2. One who is committed to the Sanctity of marriage and is against the ridiculous Gay
Agenda.
3. One who protects the Second Amendment and stiffens punishment towards gun
offenders.
4. One who will support capital punishment against Rapists, Pedophiles, and the like,
after a judicious trial procedure.
5. A man who will take tough measures to extradite illegal aliens and increase border
control, and tell the truth about Islamic followers and Jihadists.
6. A man that will support the fair tax laws, and seek a time line to eradicate the IRS.
7. A man that will eventually get us out of the United Nations, which has created more
Wars than solved them.
8. A man that will take strong measures to rid us from dependency of OPEC oil.
9. A president that has the moral courage to stop abetting our enemies and declare our
allegiance to our friends. - .ie - Israel.
10. And the man that I will be 100% behind in my prayers and support, is the man who
invokes the blessings of God, by leading with godly example and public policy, and that
does not penalize Churches, Religious schools, and traditional families.
Where is such a candidate? Such a champion espousing my views would not be tolerated by
either party.
By now my critics and friends can conclude who I am not voting for. Oh that
George Washington, John Adams, or even a Ronald Reagan could resurrect from
their smoldering graves.
We need a president that will send Terrorists a strong message by severely dealing with twits as
Osama Bin Laden, because he attacked us! But after this, we must repudiate a Global Cultic
mentality!!
John Quincy Adams, author of the Monroe Doctrine and sixth president of the “united” States
quite agreed. "America... does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is wellwisher
to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her
own."
Dear Patriot, our Freedoms are about gone. However, I believe that God-fearing patriots have
yet to begin to fight. I will vote this November, but I will pray and brace myself, because the
Sun is setting fast on Franklin’s new Republic. It was great while it lasted, and I will continue to
preach, pray, protest and promote the greatest Kingdom on Earth -
GODS!!!
