"In my case, pretty ironic that I would be charged with 'ethnic intimidation,' " said Elshinnawy, who is black.

Below is a link to go to episode 3 of 13 of a series that is currently being aired on conservative media outlets and free to watch on the internet about a Grandmother who was jailed for religious speech of protest at a homosexual event on the streets of Philadelphia. I think you have to wait till 6 pm tonight to actually watch it but once it has been aired then you can go in and watch anytime.

Here are some links from the Alliance Defense Fund who defended this Grandmother and 10 others in Philadelphia courts. Alliance Defense Fund has defeated the ACLU in 3 out 4 cases in the courts as of 2007.

Here is a quick article from Focus on the Family's citizen link concerning this Grandmother entitled:

Grandma Got Run Over by a 'Hate-Crimes' Law - "So, what's the big deal? Aren't "hate-crimes" laws really just aimed at people who commit violent crimes and at extremists like Fred ("God Hates Fags")Phelps?"

By the way Hate Crimes legislation has passed the Senate and the House since democrats have taken majority of the seats. I believe Bush has vetoed such bills and/or has threatened to do so thus stopping it.

Bush Pledges to Veto Homosexual Hate-Crimes Legislation

Democrats Refuse Religious Freedom Amendment to Hate Crimes Bill -"Republicans offered proposals to protect other categories of citizens on the basis that other groups were particularly vulnerable and deserving of added protections if homosexuals were going to be a protected class."

Since Easter has just passed here are some great videos glorifying Jesus and worthy of passing on to others.

That's My King- My favorite. Sometimes it takes the passionate flavor of a black pastor to get a most glorious declaration declared. Amen.

I AM- Along the same vein of the above.

Easter- Quick videography of a walk thru the life of Christ.

Testimony of Muslim convert to Jesus

Testimony of Ergun Caner- Great 25 minute testimony to share with a Muslim or anyone interested in Christ. Subtitles are in the Arabian language also. Or rather the language of the Koran whatever that is. I just can't remember it off hand. Very inciteful.

The Hutcherson story

Here is a story I have been following that may or may not be interesting but real.

To start:

"In January, Pastor Hutcherson was invited to speak at his daughter's high school on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to talk about his personal experience overcoming racism. When Hutcherson rose to speak, teacher George Potratz booed. And at the end of Hutcherson's presentation -- in which he did not mention his pro-family beliefs -- another teacher by the name of Kit McCormick interrupted the assembly to challenge Hutcherson's biblical opposition to homosexuality. According to published reports, both teachers received letters of reprimand for their disruptive behavior."

"You can see the arrogance that's going on in our public school system with the agenda of making our schools just so open and available to what the homosexual agenda is all about," he remarks. "I'm absolutely amazed at the stubbornness that we've run into in our public education system, especially with teachers who think that nothing can happen to them." (hear more from this interview)" This is just a minute or 2 interview.

"Pastor Ken Hutcherson is developing a "history," so to speak, with Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie, Washington.....The poster displays silhouettes of three teenage couples -- one male-female, one female-female, and one male-male -- all embracing in front of a rainbow, as if they are about to kiss. It announces the weekly meetings of the GSA, a teacher-sponsored student group that promotes homosexuality, bi-sexuality, and gender confusion." 02/18/2008

Teachers boo pro-family pastor at MLK Day school assembly -02/04/2008 originally reported.

But I did find an earlier video report concerning this incident on 01-25-2008 on Focus on the Families video site called Stoplight. Those who have video access may be interested in watching this short video report just click here.

Latest update: "his requests to have the teacher removed from the class have been denied, forcing him to enroll his daughter, who is a senior, in an online class with the University of Washington."-02/15/2008

And last comment to note: "if Christian teachers had interrupted a pro-homosexual speaker with whom they disagreed, those teachers would have at least been suspended, if not immediately fired."

And the media. Hmm!!! I guess they can't get all the stories so all we here about is a million stories on the war, economy and health care....as if that is all American voter should be caring about!!!!

Be interesting to see what comes about all this if anything other then the above informing information to yank back the balance of news worthy happening missed by most that may just effect how the american voter votes when he/she votes with a broader scope of info. then previously obtained. How is that for a run on sentence!!!!

And thank God there is forgiveness for homosexual sin as much as there is for heterosexual sin. Or visaversa!!! At least according to 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 there is:

"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."

And lastly, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us."-1 John 1:8-10.

Good News as long as we accept the Bad News. Its the Bad News that seems to keep us from the Good News sometimes. But maybe the Good News makes it a little easier to accept the Bad News. But then again the Bad News can make us hunger for the answer in the Good News. Oh, the two sides of the coin of love, mercy, forgiveness, acceptance etc etc. On one side you have Christ crucified (showing how evil our sins really are that He would have to endure for us) and on the other you have an empty tomb and Him seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven changing peoples hearts by His grace thru His Spirit. "Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence."-John 18:36.

Lack of Interest Forces Planned Parenthood to Leave University

MLK's niece: 'Abortion a racist, genocidal act'- "I don't want anybody to be confused by thinking that Dr. King could condone the violent death of the little babies, and the violent consequences that women suffer," King clarifies. "I'm post-abortive myself. I've suffered ... and it was a secret in my family for too long. And so now we're here today to speak out on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. Abortion is a racist, genocidal act...Hunter declared that in merely three days time in America, the abortion industry "kills more blacks than the KKK ever lynched."

Undercover Investigation Reveals Planned Parenthood's Racism -"PP agreed to take donations earmarked to reduce number of blacks"

"After The Advocate exposed the incident in the latest issue of The Advocate and uploaded the videos to the popular video sharing website You Tube, Planned Parenthood emailed Rose a letter demanding that she "immediately relinquish to PPLA [Planned Parenthood Los Angeles] the original and any copies of all communications with PPLA employees you have recorded without their consent." The letter, signed by PPLA CEO Mary Jane Wagle, threatens a suit for "$5,000 or three times actual damages." "This lawsuit threat is an example of Planned Parenthood using intimidation against those willing to expose its crimes," Rose said. "Planned Parenthood is a $900 million operation. Instead of threatening me with a lawsuit, Planned Parenthood should call a press conference condemning its staffers and promising major reform to protect young girls. Instead, they are threatening a college student."

"Imagine a major corporation had been exposed for committing crimes in order to pad its bottom line. There would be a parade of congressmen demanding hearings and reform," said Rose."

Planned Parenthood Threatens to Sue Undercover Activist -"Cybercast News Service obtained a copy of the video and audio before the cease-and-desist letter went into effect and has preserved it for our readers' benefit. (Click here for the full video -- a large file that may take time to load. As produced by Rose, the video features clips of a song by rapper Ludacris and singer Mary J. Blige called "Runaway.")"

www.childpredators.com- 6 minutes of video and/or audio..."Our undercover investigation obtained over 800 taped conversations with Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation clinics all across America, which prove that Planned Parenthood and NAF fail to comply with the law. They ignore the law even in cases of child sex abuse where child rape is disclosed and acknowledged - not just suspected." "As the story of non-reporting becomes more widely known, victims are beginning to pursue legal actions against the clinics that harbored their tormentors."

Fired exec: Planned Parenthood overbilled government $180 million for birth control pills -"I can't comment because we have yet to actually see the suit," Ana Sandoval, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, said Saturday."

New York Governor Launches Crusade to Expand Abortions "Spitzer, a Democrat, is pushing the Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act, which declares that women have a "fundamental right" to abortion — including in the third trimester. The bill also takes out any reference to the preborn child as a "person." The state is already the national leader in abortions — the annual rate of 38 per 1,000 women of childbearing age is the highest of any state and twice the national average, the New York Daily News reported.New York has neither mandatory waiting periods for abortion nor parental-notice requirements. The state Medicaid program covers abortion for poor women."Our governor wants to make sure that our state has the most strengthened law concerning abortion in the entire nation," said the Rev. Jason McGuire, assistant to the director at New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms."That bill really creates some pretty heinous provisions. It violates not only the life of the unborn child, even in the third trimester, it actually endangers the life of the woman."

New York's Governor Spitzer expected to resign -"Gov. Eliot Spitzer apologized to his family and the public on Monday, but did not not elaborate on a bombshell report that he has been involved in a prostitution ring."

Congressmen Call for Defunding Planned Parenthood -"(Teenwire.com) is another reason we should pull all federal funding from Planned Parenthood," Rep. Lamborn (R-Colo.) agreed. "Time and time again this organization has used taxpayer dollars to promote interests that are not in step with the values of the American people." "I don't believe taxpayer funding should be going to groups that put sexually explicit material on the Internet targeted at minors," Rep. Pitts (R-Pa.) told Cybercast News Service. "Parents today already have their work cut out for them trying to keep their kids from viewing smut on the Internet."

"In its 2005-2006 annual report, Planned Parenthood Federation of America reported that $305.3 million, or 34 percent of its annual income, came from government grants and contracts."

Online Video Demonstrates Partial Birth Abortion Technique -"BEWARE this may be disturbing and I don't know if the links work or not cause I didn't want to see this again. I saw a live partial birth abortion once in a documentary and it greatly disturbed me cause it wasn't a movie it was real life or rather death. But to think that Planned Parenthood would want abortions in the first place and then to top it off with no regulatory limitations!!!! I only post this to show how seriously immoral Planned Parenthood is and how our tax payers' dollars are at work against life and many a peoples conscious as they defended this procedure in courts all the way up to the US Supreme Court."

And shame on the media for not making barely a fuss over it and yet fussing about so much and making quite a bit of fuss over in my opinion nothing in comparison. They need to get their fussing priorities straight and then I'll listen, until then I am turned off/disgusted/and appalled that these issues have not been brought to my attention!!! That I could have actually voted for a political leader that supported this junk without me ever knowing. Thank the Lord for conservative media outlets no matter how biased the liberal media may claim them to be. So what. Its obvious to me that neither are they!!! All are biased and it just boils down to which bias is the right bias to be biased by. Conservative media outlets in my opinion have a right prioritized bias. They may be concerned about things that liberal media outlets are concerned about but just not at the sacrifice of moral concerns like LIFE!!! And when you think about it from most conservative perspectives that what morality is (a reflection of the character of God) then this becomes a big issue for the character of God Himself is being undermined!!! So to prioritize morality above other issues is not a bad place to start and then to build upon and justifiably so.

Anyways, here you have it our hard earned tax money at work against many a conscience. Where are the governmental regulatory advocates!!! Where is the media concern for humane rights!!! If we are going to regulate climate and business and faith based programs and health care and....then to be consistent we need to regulate!!!! If we are going to air stories claiming how manipulative big business' with millions of dollars taking advantage of consumers and environmentally unsafe then where is the air for those claiming to be hurt by this 900 million dollar (arguably unsafe by its nature and beginnings) business including both child and mother!!! We are all hypocritical and inconsistent but so is this!!!

You can tell I am frustrated and so I did respond to alot of my frustration below for positivity/faith/hope sake. Sorry for how long this email is but I am a nut!!!! I hope you all have a great week.

Take care all...



I thank God that He is ultimately in control and not man. I think God sometimes Providentially displays this heinousness in history not to the intent to show us that He is not in charge but rather to show us what would happen if He were not in charge. It kind of makes me want to 1) not be happy about Godlessness 2) want to do something about it 3) and also review myself to see if there be any evil in me for hypocrisy is just as ugly 4) and when I do I thank God that He is merciful to me when I have strayed from His path so 5) I must be merciful to others the same way He has been merciful to me and also to win others to His way the same way He won me by revealing the sin in my life and and His forgiveness and mercy for it at the Cross. And no sin is greater then any other when it comes to what Christ will and will not forgive for He is all powerful even to forgive the worst of sins. If God the Father can forgive men who took His Son and spit at Him, whipped Him, stuck a mocking crown of thorns on His head, verbally mocked Him, and killed Him then He can surely forgive anyone committing any sin whatsoever who comes to Himself thru that most obedient and PERFECT Son of His that He sent into the world to display for all the greatest display of love that no man before and after has ever seen from any claimed God anywhere. Showing how He can allow evil in the world (the greatest evil being the treatment of His own Son) and thru that evil destroy evil in time. In part the Cross is a message of evil being destroyed by the very acts of evil. The fact remains that there is evil but on top of that fact there has only been One who has dealt with it in the most brilliant and loving manner (becoming one of us and partaking in it thus empathizing with us showing Himself to understand the suffering and willing to take it on Himself for our sake) lending great evidence that He alone is the one true Creator of all. And also that all wrongs will be made right so much so that it will be as if they never even were in the first place, something that only an omnipotent, all loving, and all just God could do, as opposed to us impotent, sometimes loving, and not at all that just people could dream of possibly winking at. And that message was prophesied in the Old Testament and Fulfilled in the New Testament and all others thereafter are but additions/plegarizers/copycats of The Original.

It alls boils down to faith and are we willing to trust that God is able. If God is God it logically follows that He is able and so it logically follows that the only position to hold is that of faith and to wait and see how in the end God makes all things right as we live our lives to His end!!! "The Just shall live by Faith" And let us ask God to make us right also, by trusting in His solution to our sins/evils, Christ crucified on the cross/risen from the dead/ and in heaven now paving the way that someday so will we by faith in His way and what a magnificent, uncomparable and unparalelled way it is. "I am the way...."-Jesus.

If God were to ever make Himself out to be different and above all other claimed gods and everything else He created (which would make sense that if He really were God and existed we should be able to recognize Him from what He is not and our surroundings in creation and other claims of who He is, if He wanted to be known in anyway to have a relationship with us and also that He would be able to do this) then He has done quite a job in His Son separating Himself out from everything else in this world and making Himself known as Creator so that we can have that relationship with Him and have a happy ending of this life into the life to come that this life pales in light of eternity!!!!

Now this all assumes that what God has revealed thru Jesus thru His disciples in the gospels thus relating back to the Old and New Testament passed down to now is indeed what God has decided to reveal and has Providentially preserved in tact.

As for me and my household we have no reason to not assume it and many reasons for assuming it. And even if a reason of doubt is proposed I am sure that God can answer that one too as He has answered many before in my life and for those that remain unanswered I'd rather assume the position of FAITH as opposed to doubt for if God is God it is logical to assume that there is an answer as opposed to not. The ONLY LOGICAL REASON why I would assume otherwise would be if God weren't God. But that is the very point in question by doubters. So are doubters full of as much faith as I am?????? And are they not reasoning secretly from a position of doubt in a circular way as much as I am. The differemce between a doubter and a believer at this point is that the believer is justified in reasoning circular for all that is saying for him is that God is ultimate in authority thus we can't reason beyond God. For to reason beyond God would be to reason as though God is not God. So it makes good sense why a believer is reasoning cicularly cause there is no authority greater then God to ultimately verify ones belief in God. God to be God is the verifyer Himself!!!! However, a doubter has no justification for his/her position of circular doubt. He/she is forever in circles upon circles upon infinite number of circles without an ultimate authority!!!! Or rather without God!!! Thus the circle of faith is justified standing on faith as opposed to the position of doubt standing on further doubt and further until finally a position leap is taken into faith!!!!

I know. Blah blah blah blah. I am a nut case but I don't care. The only reason I brought all that up was that even though things can be crazy and that our tax payer money is going to support Planned Parenthood which I would never support myself in all good conscious that God is God and there is hope as long as there is He, in answering all the questions that these heinous things conjure up in our minds and that God is amazingly merciful and at the same time will right every wrong so much so that it will be as if it never even were in the place and He is perfectly able and capable to do so. To assume other wise is to assume no God at all and then we truely are left with no righting of the wrongs and of course I suppose if there is no God there would be no basis for right or wrong to worry about anyways we'd all be amoral products of blind chance mutations over billions of years of death, disease and struggle with no rhyme or reason life being a product of none life and so then I suppose all that is happening now is what has been happening for millions of years and so there is nothing to fret about. Not even the worst case scenarios. We are but evolving into whatever we evolve into there is no right or wrong no heaven or hell no rhyme nor reason and lastly you loose the ability to right all these things we consciously know to be wrong that happen in our world in we commit ourselves. So for the one who wishes not to right himself, the world without God looks inviting but then don't complain about wrongs in the world for you have chosen that they will never be justified unless of course you are trusting in a highly evolved human race never known before to man to evolve into perfection some how. But this boils down to pure faith once again. And we won't go there again today.

I am a complete and absolute NUT!!! to send this to you all but here we go!!!! And I also wanted to thank those for being patient with this email. I know that my grammar is barely good and some of the messages may of tested the limits of tolerance in more ways then just its length and so I do admire your enduring eye and thoughts!!!! And thank you for hearing out my frustration and answer cause I know not everybody will agree with me. Thank you.

Take care all :)

You ever wonder if there is anything that Bush has done good for America?

Given the liberal bias of most news sources you would more then likely conclude NOPE!

However, from a more socially conservative/evangelical perspective maybe you can actually answer yes that there are some things that he has done good.

1) http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/02/20080225-7.html "the successful implementation of President Bush's vision to reshape government's approach to addressing human need. By leveling the playing field for faith-based charities and strengthening grassroots nonprofits to effectively help Americans in need, the Faith-Based and Community Initiative is having a tremendous impact on countless lives across our Nation and around the world."

It looks like he accomplished this with an Executive Order and was one of the first things he did in office. Here is the 7 year after report. http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/fbci/The-Quiet-Revolution.pdf. "Government...doesn't have the monopoly on compassion. America is richly blessed by the diversity and vigor of neighborhood healers; civic, social, charitable and religious groups. These quiet heroes lift peoples lives in ways that are beyond governments know-how, usually on shoe-string budgets, and they heal our nations ills one heart and one act of kindness at a time."

http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/fbci/Final_Chart_Book.pdf report in all 50 states of showing how much money was given to secular institutions and faith based state by state.

2) Signing into law finally the Partial Birth Abortion Act of 2003 which was vetoed by President Clinton not one but 2 times while he was in office even though both the House and Senate overwhelmingly passed the ban on partial birth abortion!!! Keep in mind that Obama and Hillary would have vetoed the by partisan attempt to ban this act.

"America stands for liberty, for the pursuit of happiness and for the unalienable right of life. And the most basic duty of government is to defend the life of the innocent. Every person, however frail or vulnerable, has a place and a purpose in this world. Every person has a special dignity. This right to life cannot be granted or denied by government, because it does not come from government, it comes from the Creator of life."-Bush

3) Appointed Alito and Roberts to the Highest Court in the land and were the deciding factors on the constitutionality of the Partial Birth Abortion Act after it was deemed unconstitutional in the 2nd and 9th cricuit court of appeals. And also upheld the constitutionality of the Presidents Faith Based Initiatives. by again in both cases a 5-4 vote.

4) Bush has used his veto power effectively since congress became filled with democrats. First veto and reasoning "The vetoed bill "would support the taking of innocent human life in the hope of finding medical benefits for others," the president said, as babies cooed and cried behind him. "It crosses a moral boundary that our decent society needs to respect." Each child on the stage, he said, "began his or her life as a frozen embryo that was created for in vitro fertilization but remained unused after the fertility treatments were complete. . . . These boys and girls are not spare parts.", and again a 2nd time!!!! "Announcing his veto to a roomful of supporters, Bush said, "If this legislation became law, it would compel American taxpayers for the first time in our history to support the deliberate destruction of human embryos. I made it clear to Congress and to the American people that I will not allow our nation to cross this moral line." going so far as to sign this time an executive order "urging scientists toward what he termed "ethically responsible" research in the field"!!!!! When Democrats regained alot of control in politics President Bush promised to Nancy Pelosi and Senate house leader Harry Reid (democratic majority leaders) in letter you can't see in full here signed by himself he said, "I believe it is the most basic duty of Government to guard the innocent. With that in mind, I will veto any legislation that weakens current Federal policies and laws on abortion, or that encourages the destruction of human life at any stage." You can also view an actual letter of concern from 155 House of Representatives about the change in power here on this specific issue here sent to the President. And a letter signed by 34 members in the Senate concerned about this issue also here. Was Bush true to his word. Yes. Here.

So our pro life vote in 2000 and 2004 is at work today even though we don't have a majority it is still important to vote on the issues that concern us. And just because the media would never put Bush in this light doesn't mean he doesn't have any light at all!!!! So be encouraged that even if we don't have the best nominee for president in McCain that he is prolife though not fully in stem cell research and one of the above links is a quote from McCain requesting Clinton who was then President to not veto the Partial Birth Abortion Ban before Bush came in. It might be encouraging. However, he is for federal funding of stemcell research and feel free to review why others aren't happy with him. But got to give credit where credit is due.

5) And lastly another victory that applies to this conclusion by the judges elected by Bush in a 5-4 decision. The conclusion being that if McCain doesn't win the presidency because he loses some votes we can still work at the local level so that we gain some seats back in the house and senate to insure that if he does become president or not that the appointed judges that would support things like the result of the McCain Feingold compaign reform act which was found to be unconstitutionally used in the case of Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life, Inc. against a pro life organization in Wisconsin to air ads concerning issues during election times. (click on the link above for a great commentary from those who Wisconsin Right to life and won) also noting from Chief Justice John Roberts that he acknowledged that "Focus on the Family was among "the number of diverse organizations that have joined in supporting WRTL before this Court" through amicus curiae briefs." So yea again for Bushs' appointed judges so that now pro life organizations and others can present ads on TV and other areas without undeserved concern.

Take care all,

Just felt like pointing out some very good news that isn't usually talked about in a positive light from the normal media outlets. Just so you know that alot of good has been accomplished with our vote over these issues and to continue voting your values. Speaking of which you can pledge and petition to vote your values here along with so far 91000 others and counting.

And I just can't help but to point out this further evidence that the liberal media is harmful to conservative viewpoints and hardly neutral not only in how they report on subjects but just in what they decide to report on and what issues they believe to be issues in the first place and the emphasis they put on some issues over others.

To sign up for their daily alerts and news concerning what is going on each day in the courts of law concerning Religious Freedom, Sanctity of Life, Marriage and Family, conservative International concerns and more conservative law concerns that most media outlets choose not to inform you on click here.

Lastly what doesn't even make news here in NM which happened in NM after I have complained twice and sent links for contacts for public relations to our local news stations to make it easy for them but have yet to report on a case that has drawn conservative media interest anyways. Here is a link that will link you to to a 7 minute discussion on a talk radio show concerning this issue brought to the NM Human Rights board of somesort.

One thing I believe this lack of popular media coverage does is cause a voter to go to a voting booth not knowing all the issues and thus casting an uninformed vote and actually cause a voter to vote for a candidate that may be unfavourable to his/her views on these subjects not even realizing it. One critique of McCain is on this very issue. You have many decisions being decided in the courts of law that will make a difference in society one way or the other. Judges that are being appointed by one president as compared to another will make an inevitable difference in these higher courts of law when these decisions are appealed in the lower courts. And the higher courts then become sometimes laws for all the land as opposed to just a state. So what is going on elsewhere though it may not be in our state or in all the states none the less what is going on in these liberal states as they are appealled may be forced upon states that are more conservative and don't even have these issues and don't want them. So it matters to us to pay attention. McCain has been criticized by Dobson and Dobson has stated he will not vote for McCain for many reasons that I would have to agree with and one of those reasons is McCains teaming up with 6 other republicans and 7 democrats to allow for fillibustering of certain judges in the past and these would have been favourable judges to the conservative pro family causes in america that would have passed if it were not for these 14. Now McCain may have had other concerns but none the less the result has been an inability for judges to be appointed from a conservatively elected congress which has caused much frustration to the conservative voter. So you can answer your question as to why congress and the president though under republican rule could not get more judges appointed that favoured one of the major reasons why many americans voted them into office is because of 7 republicans and one of those McCain. So McCain may favour other issues and judges that are more concerned about other issues then profamily, freedom of religious, pro life, etc issues that will not be as much of a priority on his mind when he appoints a judge. And thus I reason that since these issues are a major concern for me more then tax cuts and the political issues I will have to reserve my vote for one who is concerned in priority of those issues that concern me. I mean what good is my politic if I can't freely speak out on issues as "marriages" or "pro-life" or anything else that may come up in the future and have to fear being called a bigot if I do and to be equated with a racist. Sure I could be financially fit but at what cost (the cost of my conservative opinions and voice to be silenced). Sure I could live longer with good health care but again at what cost (no health care for children in the womb). Sure I could vote Republican just because I am a Republican but again at what cost. All Republicans do not have the same priorities. I understand that Obama and Clinton may be worse but in this context they are no different then McCain. Sure McCain may have pressure from fellow Republicans that an Obama or Clinton would not however McCain has a history of sticking to his priorities and we give our vote to him then he has the "american people" to claim on his side which will give him further reason to act as he has in the past. Whatever your feeling may be is fine. I am sure there are other sides of the story to every concern that are ligitmate to take into consideration. I guess I am just voicing one side and submitting it to all since I do not think the media does a good job at informing the public on these issues and why many are not happy with McCain. I did not mean to type this out. I just meant to let you all know about the case being held so it was typed on the spot. Sorry for any grammar mistakes and flaws in reasoning. But how can we say "God Bless America" if we don't vote according to principles that God in His Word says are consistent with His Blessings. Now I understand an argument could be made for voting for the least of 2 evils and it seems we have to do that alot and so if one reasons in a line of reasoning of some sort like that so that an Obama or Clinton doesn't get into office. I can understand that. It is a hard decision. But just consider the moral issues along with all the others and for me it seems that McCain has only one thing going for him. That he has consistently from my understanding been pro life except on the stem cell research but otherwise then that he may be conservative but not morally. We would be morally far better off with a Huckabee but can Huckabee when in a presidential election. And I understand Huckabee isn't perfect but we have a consistently morally good political track record with him on all the moral concerns and I feel morally confortable voting for such a one as he and I am glad he is still our conservative voice hanging in there in the race. One thing a non vote for McCain in a presidential election will do is send a clear message to the Republican party that if moral concerns are no longer a serious priority issue in the Republican party you will not have a Republican president. And so I feel we may have to suffer thru a really bad president for 4 years on all issues and reorganize and learn a lesson for the next republican nominee. Rather then have a Republican president for 8 years with republican political values but on the moral issues obselete in priority. If moral issues are the priority issues it seems we have no choice but to rethink Republicanism.

Now for all you Democrats out there. Feel free to completely ignore my run on paragraph but it is valuable for a possible understanding as to why some conservatives are very unhappy with McCain and there can be a whole lot more said then just this issue. Just because the media doesn't report on why doesn't mean there isn't ligitmate concerns granting a certain perspective that is at odds with most media outlets.

And also to all you Republicans that may disagree maybe this gives a perspective as to why a James Dobson isn't completely wacky in stating that he will sit out if McCain is the nominee on this presidential election. I really don't think he will do just that alone I think a possible 3rd party may form or some other avenue may be taken. But if he does sit out I am with him just to insure that the Republican party on moral issues doesn't become a Democratic party. I think that would be worth the non vote for the future of the Republican party. And if you disagree that is fine. God is control no matter what we vote or don't vote on. But none the less I believe voting is not an amoral issue but a moral one and that God would have his childred to work out our reasoning to being consistent with His as revealed in the scriptures in order to cast the best vote we possibly can and I am sure there are good arguments on both side. Kind of like asking the question what would Jesus vote for if he were a registered voter. Jesus did say to render unto Ceasar what is Ceasars and also Paul in Romans speaks about the powers that be are ordained of God and so if a power that be allows for its people to vote on issues that happen to be of moral concern then it seems we do have a moral delimma. But all is in His hands ultimately and so not to make these issues more important then trusting God but out of trusting God as revealed in the scriptures what are we to do in faith. Are we to vote or not vote? Is it immoral to vote is it immoral to not vote? For the sake of the babies in mothers wombs and God's definition of marriage and so on and so forth I take the side that it is immoral not to vote but I understand that when we do vote sometimes we are approving other things that may be wrong also so I can see why one would not vote like in this case with McCain possibly coming up I don't think I am going to vote but that is for a reason rooted in that we should vote for the best possible candidate and that this year we just don't have one possibly. But I am sure there are good reasons on the otherside of this coin.

Thank God that salvation doesn't hinge on these issues and thus it is not to be projected into a salvafic issue at all and that these issues are really after salvation and issues that we work out as we learn more of our Creator and His will for each one of our lives and that the most important thing in light of eternity is trusting in the one who inhabits eternity.

I will shut up now. Sorry all. Take care all. But I couldn't help it. So sorry!!!!
