Americans are Ignorant about Barack Obama

November 24th, 2008 · Leave a Comment · America, Barack Obama, Election 2008, Elections, News Commentary, News, Politics, and World Events, Politics

America’s Ignorance of Barack Obama “Disturbing” (OneNewsNow):

Unfortunately, according to Bauer, the American media did not press Obama to answer questions about some of these questionable ideas and affiliations. “The result is that I think we had one of the most undereducated electorates in the history of our country partake in this election, not knowing the first thing about what the man who’s now been elected president has on his agenda,” he concludes.

Pray for Barack Obama

November 7th, 2008 · 4 Comments · America, Barack Obama, Election 2008, Elections, News, Politics, and World Events, Politics

I believe that the American People have made a tragic mistake in electing Barack Obama. I believe it is our duty as Christians to speak clearly and strongly in opposition to many of His positions over the next 4 years.

I also know that God loves Barack Obama and his family, and they are going to need our prayers. They will need God as a family, and Barack Obama will need our prayers as our President.

I wonder what God will do if we love, pray for, and bless our president, even as we express our disagreement and oppose immoral policies?

Love, oppose, speak, pray.

There is always hope.

I voted for John McCain

October 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment · America, Barack Obama, Democrats, Election 2008, Elections, John McCain, News Commentary, News, Politics, and World Events, Politics, Republicans

The following is a comment that I wrote on a friend’s blog including some of the reasons why I voted for John McCain and not a third party in this election:

I voted for John McCain today. Out of faith and appropriate fear. My father, who was a construction worker who walked around on beams in very high places, taught me that there was a very good place for fear in life! God gave us fear, but we are not to be ruled by it.

I am not ruled by fear. Unfortunately, there is a lot to be afraid of in Barack Obama and in the Socialist like Democratic Party. Barack Obama poses a significantly greater threat to our liberty than McCain in almost any area. Religious Liberty, Abortion, Economics.

McCain is not perfect. But I will not vote for a third party in a presidential election as long as the system remains where it is, unless both candidates represent the same threat to liberty. In this case, they do not.

(Article Continues Below)

I suspect that some third party pushers are actually a bit frustrated and desperate, and thus come up with the “Chuck Baldwin is the only…” type stuff.

Chuck Baldwin is not our only hope. Alan Keyes is not our only hope. Ron Paul (Republican) was never our only hope, but even Ron Paul holds to his third party ideals (he is still a member of the libertarian party) while working to take over and influence one of the major parties. Ron Paul is a free man above and beyond the regular parties, and he is also a carefully strategic voice within them.

Consider these articles by Gary DeMar, who makes great arguments that it is more strategic to try and take over a major party than to go with a third party, at least at this time in history and at this place in our system.

I urge everyone to consider not voting third party, but consider getting behind McCain, praying like crazy, and working hard to nominate different options in the next primaries.
