The close race and my preference for Obama

How can McCain still be so close? With the exception of the 1979,1980 and interest rates in the teen’s, I cannot remember the economy as bad as this.

Our economy has been stern raked by a three decker. Honestly I thought republicans would take the blame and be crushed

Its weird but I actually would rather see Obama win, than McCain. Now I am not one of those who thinks we need to finish going to hell in a hand basket quickly so Jesus can return. Why?

We have yoked ourselves to the Republicans because rationally no one else has a chance. The Democrats are beyond the pale so that leaves, these guys. But we have to ignore Gods directives to us because only these guys have a chance to stop_____( fill in the blank abortion, socialism, communism etc, etc)

Now the whole time that we with the Republicans try and take the nation on a less direct route to the cliff something else keeps happening. That is more and more of the population becomes inoculated to the idiocy of the left. The nation is slowly trained to appreciate what used to be considered madness. I am including most of the church in this.

This is from Barnas recent research, the Christian pollster. The continuing trend from this pollster is how the Christian community looks more and more like the pagan community.

American Spirituality Gives Way to Simplicity and the Desire to Make a Difference
….How does the Christian community compare on these self-perceptions? In many ways, the self-perceptions of born again Christians are remarkably similar to those of Americans who are not born again….

….Yet, on social awareness, matters of lifestyle, and the desire for simplicity, the self-identities of born agains and others were very similar. Only two of the non-spiritual self-perceptions showed any difference, and those gaps were minimal: born again Christians were slightly more likely than others to see themselves as making a positive difference in the world (83% versus 74%, respectively) and slightly more likely to be fulfilling personal life calling (76% to 67%).…..

When we try to slow democrats down this way, it means we are not doing what God said to do. “in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct you path…” this train of thought is part and parcel with my proposition that humanistic and pragmatic behavior will get you more Humanism. I bet Bush never had an inkling that his administration would preside over one of the largest expansions of government ever. Not enough principle, too much, we gotta do something!
