    We should want solid Christians in every public office because only through being reborn through the saving grace of Christ Jesus and by the in dwelling of the Holy Spirit to effect our thoughts and deeds can there be anything good, honest, clean, etc. in what we do else it is all for evil selfish purposes regardless how smooth, good, fair, etc. it might outwardly seem. That was clearly understood once upon a time but now we think secular is the answer to all things government failing to realize that God needs to be in everything we do.

    God can and does use anyone, he doesn't just use the saved to accomplish His Will.

    As I said before LE, "I don't discard your views as valid "... I might feel a little different but I can't say your view is not an solid Christian view. It's one of those things we'll understand better in the by and by.

    I guess I'm uneasy about the following....

    If he values the extremist interpretations of the constitution above the safety and welfare of children, then where do you and I rank on his value-meter?

    This does not excuse us from not working to put Christians into leadership roles.

    I expect conservatives to oppose everything President Obama does most of the time without cause.

    The cause has been articulated several times.

    And we expect you to back him because you hate conservatives with a blind rage.

    I don't understand why Joseph Botwinick, Rufus1911, & James Newmann were banned, yet we let J/C call my brother a murderer, and spam the board without answering questions. He is a troll on steroids. Pretty offensive.

    You can expect me, the Lord willing, to oppose everything the Obamanites do or say that I believe is bad for America and it will be with cause and purpose in mind.

    No you don't but that statement makes a nice inflammatory accusation.

    For a start just read Romans 13. Don't stop where most people do. Apply it to today's situation and ask yourself: "In America who is the government?" The correct answer is "we are" because we are self-governed. Therefore, we must apply God's laws in our acts of governance and to accomplish this we must choice people from among us who understand right for wrong and will seek God's guidance. Only persons being led by the Holy Spirit, believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and obedient to God Almighty can truly discern right from wrong because there is no other truth.
