Politics, Politics, Politics!!!

Okay, so the elections are getting close, just a month away, and I've done pretty good so far on not blogging about them. But I can't keep silent forever!! So now the time has come for me to say a few things. That was a warning so you can't read the whole thing and then get mad or annoyed and say, "I didn't know you were going to talk about politics, I'm so sick and tired of politics." Which I'm sure the last part you all are probably saying, but it's almost over and now it's my turn to put in a few words. And hey, you can look at it this way, I'm your friend and you love me, (just nod your head in agreement) I'm not some stranger on the radio. And as your friend you actually like to hear what I have to say, sometimes, (again, nod your head).

I know many of you do not understand my passion for politics. But it's just like having the passion to play the piano or to sing or even the passion to preach. It's something inside of you that just draws you to it. I have tried in the past to explain, but I have not been that successful. For years now politics has been all about Power and Prestige, you run for office so that you will be recognized as the person with the power. That's wrong!!! WE, the people of America, have the power. I cannot stress the importance of exercising that power by voting in this next election. In fact, I feel it is our duty, not only as an American Citizen, but also as a Christian. As Christians it is our duty to stand against evil, that also means in politics. Honestly I feel Barak Obama is an evil man, therefore, as Christians, it is our duty to stand against him. The only way we can stand against him, other than pray, is to vote. If you're not convinced, look at these videos, the first one I received in my e-mail, and have already passed on to many of you. Rev. Wright is a man that Obama himself called his mentor and spiritual leader. A man Obama sat under for 20 years. As a guest on Hannity & Colmes, Rev. Wright asked Sean Hannity what he knew about Black Liberation Theology and how many Cone's books Sean had read. James Cone was a very scary man who wrote about Black Liberation Theology, which is Liberation Theology plus Black Power, in an excerpt from one of his books he said that if God was not for the Blacks and against white people then God was a murderer and should be killed. That is the kind of teaching Obama was under for 20 years. Also in the first video, Obama has the audacity to say that the Declaration of Independence and many famous speeches are "just words, just speeches"!! Isn't that all he gives, "just words, just speeches"? He even called Romans 1:26-27 an "obscure passage". Do you really want him to be president? Do you really think that "one vote doesn't matter"? It does!!!! Please do not let a man like this win! I would even be disappointed in my fellow Christians and Americans if Obama lost by just a few votes. A man like that needs to lose by a landslide!!! This is not because of race but because of character. There are three fundamental things that we, the American people, should look for in a president: Experience, Integrity, and Character, three things that are hard to find in Obama. Okay, you've read this and watched the videos, hint hint, now I promise I will not say anything about politics again...until after the election of course : ). Thanks for listening to all my ramblings. Honestly, I am really riled up about this election, so I guess I should be saying thanks for letting me vent : ). Have a great rest of the week!!
