I agree we should pray for our President because He and the American people we are under a spiritual attack from the liberal media and the terrioism.

The liberals finally got one thing right they finally realized it was the Morality Issues and Family Values that elected our President and none other issues that elected Bush.

The United States of America Constitution has been a practically dead letter in American politics. No more than lip service. The two of the things the founding fathers' feared most were a big beauracracy and a standing army. And now their fears have been fulfilled. Practically all the actions of our federal government have been unconstitutional, save those directly actions and powers directly granted to it. Just had to say that and reinforce the knowledge of how far we've drifted from the original plan for the states. Take care.

There aren't going to be many people that understand (or even agree) with what you just said. But it's the clear truth. Well done Aiden.

P.S. Although I'm not sure I understand what you mean about the army?

[Kalthzar]

Speculation but maybe it means that the USA is not meant to have an army at all times, only in tiimes of war. Although i wonder how that effects the States individual rights to an army.....i don't know, someone enlighten me

BEP,

I agree friend....I'm glad its all over too....but like you say, its really just beginning in many ways.  Its facinating to watch CNN and others now talking about morality, and how they see it as one of the main reasons for Bush's re-election.   I certainly don't view Bush as a saviour or perfect man (for those quoting some of his interviews), but his views, without question, line up better with the Word than the other guy did.   I didn't vote for the man, I voted for life, traditional marriage, strong leadership in the face of the prior and terrorism.   I don't see Bush as my pastor or spiritual leader, or Mr righteous come to save America.   His views on the key issues just come closer to mine than Kerry's did...nothing more.

Something that is clear to me from all this, is how blurry the line of morality/Gods standard is when choosing leaders for some people.   I suspect in 2008 (provided we are still here then) the Dems will suddenly find religion blurring that line even further.   I think we are in for an extremely interesting four years.  This topic will get hotter and hotter when the Bush starts picking replacment judges, and Democrats try to get a new grip on what has taken place.

I have some thoughts about the next four years, but I will save that for another thread.

Grace and Peace!

A standing Army may be unconstitutional in some peoples eyes. This is the reason the funding for the Military must be voted on and renewed each and every year.

If we did not have a Military unit at all times we would lay ourselves wide open for any and all to just walk in and take over our government. That is what the Cold War was all about, the prevention of our country being taken over by forces that were waiting for the right moment to do so.

This is still a real threat today. If we were to do away with this "standing" military force we would have been attacked long ago and by the time we had put a militia force into action it would have been to late to prevent a take over.

(Tongue In Cheek)

The result from the ultra-liberal media is humorous after the election. I don't know of any Christians who worship George Bush, think he is God-like, or a pillar of Christian example. However, the media is portraying him as such to demean him and further stir the radical left. GET THIS!!! - talk of leaving America because it is too moral for their tastes and they don't want morality in the White House!  What a HOOT!  It's just too much to bear for some folks to know there is prayer in the White House and an electorate who believe in prayer, morals, and Biblical values. SURPRISE?  

The ignorance of the ultra-liberal news media about the majority of this country is astounding. Some of them obviously have no clue about the history of this country. Did they really think that everyone was going to get excited and vote for gay marriage and abortion? To imagine that as a platform for an old and respected political party is mind-boggling. I still don't understand it. Maybe they are re-thinking their positions now and wondering if they would have done better by having an openly gay and proud of it Presidential candidate. UM?? - that must be it!  

OR - Was It Tongue In Cheek?)

Love In Christ,
Tom
