Wednesday, November 5, 2008 - Down Once More....

Seeing Obama win doesn't feel nearly as bad as I thought it would.

Sure, I'm not happy about it. Yes, I'm sad about it.  But it hasn't come to a point that I've packed for New Zealand or thrown myself off the Grand Canyon. No, I'm waiting till January to do that.

:D

Maybe this is what we need. It's definitely what we deserve.

The world has constantly had bad times.  We'll continue to. America has had bad times. We've gone through economic disasters, wars, riots...hey, come on, we are the country that elected FDR as a president.  Really, it can't get any worse than him, right? :D (sorry, FDR fans. But I do blame him for everything.  I'm worse about blaming him than Dems are about blaming Bush. And I don't care!)

There will be changes in this country. There will be bad times.   It will get bad, I can tell you that with complete confidence. Things are going to go down hill for a lot of us. I'm anxious about it. I could be content if we had another eight years of Clintonesque leadership--of doing virtually nothing.  I'd like that with Obama. But I don't think that's what he is giving us. He's already promised change--and change is what he is giving us. But change is only good if it stays in your pocket, right? Say goodbye to that, then.

He can take our change out of our pockets. He can turn us into a socialist country--which leads first to unified poverty and second to Communism. He can kill our children and put a big target on all of us.  He can give our kids over to the government from birth. He can divide the racial barriers even further.

Let's pray that Obama does virtually nothing. Maybe he won't keep all of his promises. Maybe this time he'll be dishonest and we like it.  Yet it doesn't look that way.

Like I said, I'm anxious. I'm anxious because with what Obama promises, not only will we have little freedom, we're in danger of losing our lives. Or our children's and grandchildren's. You can't have socialism without violence eventually prevailing--and we're on the path of a very dangerous America.  We're on the path of Hitler's Holocaust and Stalin's massacres (and in some ways we're there already), of Inquisitions and martyrdom.

And, why, you ask, am I not as upset as I should be over this?

Because humans have lived through these things before. They have stood up to these things before.  They have defeated these things before. These humans are our history and our heroes. When things get bad for America, it is a tragedy. But it also is a privilege--and privilege that God has put us here for such a time as this, knowing the full course of history--and a privilege that now it is our turn to stand up and become heroes of the future as well. Who knows, maybe one of us will end up being the next William Wilberforce! Men have done it before--we are setting out on a great adventure of making sure it is done again!

Amen, that is exactly what I was thinking, although I am ready to move to Australia! LOL I think this country is getting what it's been asking for, for years now, when you turn your back on God what do you have? All these people who were screaming for change never stopped to ask him, how much change? How far is your 'change for the better' going to go? I don't think they will like how far he takes it. It's in God's hands though and we as Christians know that nothing can take us from His protection and His will. Pray hard!

I cried when he won. I also thought of the song from Chicken little: This is the end of the world as we know it......
Did you hear that people from the McCain campaign (not McCain) are blaming Sara Palin for losing?
My brother said a quote from star wars 3 when Obama was giving his victory speech. It is the quote were Padmae says:
"So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause."

P.S. sorry if I sound like a complainer.
