More despair over the slaughter of over a million children a year.

Gotta say, I was actually surprised!
Group hug...we all need it. :1_grouphug:
Which, being interpreted, meaneth: he can support Obama with a clear conscience.That would have been the case whoever won.

It was interesting to hear the student's take on the elections. The majority are pro-Obama, so there was a happy mood at the high school today, though some teachers seemed pretty disgruntled!
Many students asked my opinion. Normally, that's a question I'd gracefully speak my way out of answering, but since the election is over, I felt free to go ahead and tell them "neither." LOL I think that took a lot of them by surprise. For the students who didn't hear me go over it a few weeks ago, I was able to teach them a bit about how things work, how our founders didn't want ANY political parties to begin with, and how we now have MANY political parties, not just two.
Since I didn't care for either of them, I'm just sitting back observing the reactions and such. This is the first time I've been in this position and it definitely makes things interesting!
Although...I really was shocked that Obama won. I didn't expect that. It seems the majority of people I've talked to who voted for him did so on an emotional basis rather than a logical one.
I'd love to see if the number of young voters in this election jumped a lot higher than it has in previous elections. Hrm. I'm thinking it has...
The world is a better place tonight. The road forward will be difficult, but we can make things better.
That being said, how DO we change this?
Our sole hope is the preaching of the Gospel. Christ is the answer, not the politics of Mitt, Paul, or Ron. We need to be working with the younger generation to teach them God's way.
When Christ rules in their hearts, the tide will turn. And not before.
I disdain your impugning upon C4K's motives for speaking what he sees to be the truth. Like it or not, Romney was about as likely to stop the murders of unborn children as the President is. The chances of that issue coming before the Supreme Court again and being voted down are zilch and zero regardless in the current political environment. Abortion rights is a nice political football for the Republicans to toss up in the air every few years but that is about it.

Im assuming you are referring to College Students correct?
I think that you need to find a new church.I wouldn't depend on the church doing anything but teaching the youth to pay homage to Caesar because the church has placed the tax man as head of the church over Jesus. The church also teaches that we have to obey every illegitimate law and every illegitimate authority of the state.
No, I don't work at the college anymore. This is high school. Some are old enough to vote, some aren't. It's still, imo, a relatively decent way to see how the younger voters think as, again imo, it doesn't seem like a lot of change happens in political mindsets between 18 and...mmmm, probably through mid-twenties.
