I receive somewhere between 35 and 5o emails a day. As of late, most of these have been political. Don't vote for Obama, Vote for Obama, Don't vote for McCain, Vote for McCain, Vote for Ron Paul, Vote the issues, Vote you conscience....and of course, all of the Vote for McCain/Palin because she's such a "hottie"(what a fantastic reason to vote in a president, based on the VP being a "hottie")... And now tonight....
Barak Obama will be our president. My inbox sits silent. The conservative part of the nation is stunned. Riky sits in front of the television in silence with a dazed look on his face. My stomach churned with dread when I heard the news tonight.
Pastor says that God dips his finger into our nation to test the temperature and allows the leaders that our nation deserves to rise up. Is this what we as a nation deserve? Obviously.
So, were our prayers in vain? I don't think so. I know that God can see the future and that he works all things together for good to them that love Him. Can God work this for good? Of course He can. Will He? Of course He will. Will it take some time? Probably. Should we stop praying? Never! Christians should fall down on their knees and pray like they have never prayed before. God is in control of everything, even this. Should we be saddened that Obama is what we deserve? I'll let you answer that for yourself. You all should know where we stand.
I liken our request and prayers to God with that of our boys. They often come to Riky or I with a request. Many times we say yes because we are big ol' suckers for beautiful brown eyes and cheeks that dimple when they smile. But, there are times when we say no. We say no because we can see the big picture. We know what is good for the family as a whole is not always to say yes to the minority.
At this time we conservative Christians are the minority. God sees the bigger picture even when we can't understand how this could possibly be turned into something good. He is in control.

The conservative part of the nation should be anything but "stunned". Read the below. I couldn't have said it any better myself! Anyone that voted for McCain actually voted for Obama. That may take a little thinking and getting used to but that's a fact.

Hooray for Obama!
I must admit, I'm a little bit happy about Obama winning the
election. No, it's not because I'm all googly-eyed over his message,
or because I think he's the country's salvation. Quite the opposite,
in fact. I'm glad he won, because I think it will speed up, if only
by a tiny fraction, the demise of the United States empire. Good
riddance.
If you had a dog, and it had rabies--staggering around, frothing
at the mouth, and trying to bite everyone--would your goal be to
prolong it's life as long as possible, or to put the thing out of
its misery? However much you once cared for it, the only humane
thing to do is shoot the dog.
Likewise, a lot of people know full well that the Great American
Experiment has failed. It had a pretty impressive start, but
it's never going back to anything resembling a free country. It
is an empire now, a tyrant's playground. It has nothing to do
with individual liberty, and everything to do with dominion and
control. So why drag out its demise any longer? Even if McCain is
a bit less socialist than Obama, what good would it have done for
him to win? Would he turn things around, and start the country on
a steady swing back in the direction of a limited, constitutional
republic? Not a chance. I don't think I know anyone stupid enough
to think that. So what's the best a McCain presidency could have
accomplished? To maybe delay the demise of the empire another
few months, or even years (to be overly optimistic about it)? Why
bother? Is the goal to put it off until it's your kids' problem,
or what? Our political system has rabies, and there is no cure. Let
it die. In fact, help it die.
I hope Obama passes every socialistic program and wealth
redistribution plan he can think of. And then I hope the American
people refuse to comply. I hope he outlaws private gun ownership
completely, and I hope the American people refuse to give up
their guns. I hope he nationalizes all health care, and I hope a
black market in health care springs up. I hope he outlaws private
possession of gold, and no one hands theirs over. I hope he keeps
the war-mongering going, and Americans refuse to sign up, and people
already in the military resign in droves. I hope he continues the
tradition of the government doing the bidding of the bankers and the
Federal Reserve, keeping everyone in debt, and constantly defrauded
through the fiat currency scam. And I hope the dollar collapses,
and people start using something else (e.g., silver and gold). I
hope he raises taxes through the roof, and I hope people refuse to
pay them. I hope he pushes his nationalist/socialist agenda just
as fast as he possibly can, and I hope Congress helps him to do
so. And then I hope that the spirit of resistance comes back to
life in this country, and lets the beast die under its own weight.
Every time I bash the cult ritual of voting, or point out how
crumby one candidate or another is, lots of people ask me, "Well,
what are we supposed to do? You're not giving any solutions!" Let
me say this very bluntly: the way to end tyranny is not by voting,
or petitioning, or running for office. The only way to end tyranny
is by disobedience. Whether by revolution or by passive resistance,
the only thing that has ever reduced oppression is a bunch of people
refusing to do what "authority" told them to do. Of course, that's
risky, and "illegal," and so most people will never dare to do it,
at least not until things get really bad. That's why I WANT things
to get really bad. Maybe then the American people will grow a spine,
and stop all this pathetic groveling to politicians.

(P.S. There may be some tempted to say, "But Obama will destroy the
country!" Sorry to break it to you, but the country was destroyed
about a century ago, if not earlier. It's just taken really long
for the terminal illness called "collectivism" to run its full
course. Pull the plug. Let it die. Then try for something better.)
(P.P.S. I admit, I was eagerly looking forward to election day. No,
not because I was excited by the election, or because I cared who
won anything. No, I was excited because after today, the constant
stream of absolute bull spewing out of every TV and radio might
slow down a bit. Nothing is more depressing than having to listen
to the biggest crooks on the planet whining, lying, fear-mongering,
playing god, making empty promises, and otherwise lying their rear
ends off--a.k.a. "campaigning.")
