Tuesday Stuff
Election day — it feels like election decade. I am so sick of all of this — from both parties — that my face is about to explode. I will be SO glad when all of this is over.
That said, I think it's important for everyone to keep things in perspective here — again, on both sides. I think everyone reading this knows I'm not a fan of Obama or Biden because I have several differences with their World Views. Am I a fan of McCain and Palin? Not necessarily — but they both have opinions and beliefs that more closely resemble mine. But will the world end if Obama wins? No. Will it end if McCain takes office? Of course not. Should our political differences make us pit ourselves as enemies? No on that, too.
I strongly oppose abortion — especially partial and live-birth abortion. I believe our Constitution, in it's wonderful simplicity, should remain the foundation against which our laws are tempered. I don't want a Supreme Court creating law. I strongly oppose giving Big Brother more power over us all by allowing him into our pocketbooks via taxation and forced contribution to "social programs." I don't believe the "rich" should be punished, or have their "wealth shared" with anyone but those with whom they choose — by their own volition — to share it with. I am against the Death Tax. I believe America should be the strongest and most intimidating country on Earth from a military standpoint. I believe that immigrants should be processed like our laws already say they should. I believe we should protect and defend our borders, and not turn a blind eye to what's really going on around them. I believe we should look for energy independence within our own territories. I believe the Free Market should supply us with health care. I believe your hard-earned money should go into your bank account, and that you should keep all of it. I do not believe we need a "civilian police force." I do not believe we should violate the First Amendment with a "Fairness Doctrine" — what are, in pre-school? I believe capitalism works and is a driving force for innovation.
And I believe so much more, and so many more ways different than Obama.
But again, the world will not end if he wins. Humanity will move forward, and if things go to Hell, we'll all make it. If things go great, we'll all make it. I will still have my family and friends and church, and everyone else will have all the things they hold dear. But if Obama wins, come 2010, I have a feeling that many of us will be driving around with a "Don't blame me, I voted for McCain" bumper sticker...

I thrilled and overjoyed that we have been able to find sponsors for ten of the Kenyan children from the Rhema Children's Home! TEN! How dadgum awesome is that? There are still 5 children online that need sponsors, so PLEASE visit my BrightPoint page and read all about Rhema.••••••••
I totally hungry and craving a pizza — but I may eat waffles again!
