Yes, Roan you hit the nail on the head. Throughout the campaign season I just couldn't understand why anybody would vote for Obammy. A lot of people get help from him and it's hard to vote out Santa Claus. They turn a blind eye to the rest because they want their handout. There are a lot of Americans though, almost half that tried to make a stand against the Obmannation, and to be fair, some people just couldn't vote for a Mormon. I had a lot more written but I erased it. I just don't have the heart to write the same points time and time again. How anyone could have voted for him a second time is beyond my reasoning. America really is changing and not for the better I'm afraid. I'm personally trying to stay employed overseas until these three years and ten months are over. Assuming the Obmanation doesn't overturn term limits for the POTUS at mid-term election time. |

I guess I should petition to be a male girl scout/Brownie Den Mother...or whatever they call them. I'm happily married to my wife of ten years. I'm a teacher. I am mature enough to be trusted. I'm a Christian. However, there is just something about a 39 year old bearded fat guy out in the woods alone with 8-10 eight to ten year old girls that just wouldn't sit right. I wouldn't think that parents were inferring that I was a rapist or a pedophile if they just didn't want to put their daughters put into that sort of situation. Should the daughters then be punished by not being able to go camping or enjoy scouting activities because some of them might end up with male den mothers? That's the way I see this issue. Will every 'gay' den leader advance on the kids? No, it's not likely, but why would you ever expose yourself to that situation? The parents of these boys will likely, and correctly, pull them out of scouting should the ban on gays be lifted. It will be a disservice to everyone involved. |

For my part I don't think God has a favorite team or anything like that. If He's watching any reality shows I'd be surprised, there really aren't any worth watching in my view. I know that He is fully aware and knows all of these things, but would He really have any interest in them? A lot of things we are just free to do. God isn't surprised by our choices as to Him they already happened, but does He really care if I buy a Ford or a Toyota? I guess I should pray that He leads me to choosing the safest one.I can really ramble on a topic like this and just erased a bunch of stuff. The point is that players, fighters, boxers, and even American Idol wannabes, can pray that God give them success. If they are successful, then it's right to praise God. As far as the violent sports are concerned, praying for the safety of all the participants is always a good thing. We focus a lot more on the winning, but we learn a lot in both winning and losing. Team sports are a great thing when they are done right. Individual sports can also teach you a lot about yourself. It's good to praise God in all of our endeavors. |

Maybe it was creeping four years ago, but now it's marching full steam ahead and the sheep are lapping it up with two spoons. The minute a country takes money from the people who earn it and forces them to give it to those who need it, the society starts going downhill. It's in a person's nature to be lazy. Government money and services only enable the lazy to become lazier. What it the incentive to work hard? If you earn too much money it will just be taken away from you. If you stay home and do nothing the government will take care of you. It makes no sense to work. You mix into that all of the political correctness, the environmental Nazis, and the "equality" movement, and watch the downward spiral continue. We can't drill for oil, can't support our own local farms or businesses, you have electricity and fuel usages micro-regulated. While our military is forced to take in gays, tear down churches and may ultimately draft women into front line combat positions. How is this not insane? Now that's all secular. We haven't even talked about the abortion mills and the celebration of killing babies, plus, the desecration of marriage. Supported by a majority the people! On the bright side only 3 years and 11 months to go. |

It's a time of confusion both within and outside the church. We must rely on what the Bible says. The Bible says that homosexuality is wrong in both the old and new testaments. It even says that people of faith will fall away and call what is evil, good and call the things that are good, evil. It makes true, honest believers look like the "bad guys" while the heretics look like the "good guys". I do not suggest that homosexuals should not be allowed in church. On the contrary, we don't live in the age when the homosexual should be stoned, and church is the best place for them. However, the church should not be endorsing the behavior nor bending to the will of the militants among the group. This includes being forced into performing same-sex marriages. A lot of these so-called church leaders will have much to answer for come judgement day--they are either ignorant at best or willfully deceptive at worse. |

I'm not looking forward to the next four years as an American. I have nothing to fear as a Christian. Did we as a nation choose unwisely? I believe so. Do I blame evangelicals for not voting for a Mormon? Yes, with a big BUT--that but being that I can understand not wanting to vote for a cult member. I believe that we share a lot of the same values with the Mormons. I consider myself independent conservative. On the national scale that means that I have always voted Republican.If the Republicans seek the middle ground and make compromises on issues such as abortion and same sex marriage, then I for one will embrace third party or abstinence. I'll never vote for the Democrats because of their pro-death stance on abortion and I would drop the Republicans in a second if they make the same platform stance for the party. Finally, I'm going to limit my comments on Obama related articles to a simple--'hope you're happy' or 'I told you so' from now on. It's going to be a looong four years if we bitterly examine every clownish thing Obama does. We all need to move on. It'll be at least two years before we can do anything at all about the situation. I do hope that things change for the better when that time comes, but we can do good things on our own no matter what happens in D.C. |

I'm against the whole gay marriage thing, but believe it or not I don't have much of a problem with legalizing marijuana. It will free up space in the jails for dangerous criminals, put more tax revenue in the treasury, and put drug dealers out of business while making sure the product is high quality and regulated. People who are getting high are going to get high weather it's legal or not, so why not make some common sense laws? Alcohol is legal and regulated and marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol, so legalize it and get over it. Does this mean Christians should start eating space cake and passing the peace pipe around? That's a decision that you would make for yourself, the same as drinking beer or anything else the Bible doesn't specifically condemn. |
