Posted in Patriotism

We've had a day or two to let the election results sink in.  It still hurts just as much as it did when my husband woke me up at 1am Wednesday morning to tell me who had won.  Honestly, though, I wasn't all that surprised.  Now, all that's left is to ride out the next four years and hope there is something left to salvage of the patriot dreams of our forefathers.

There's plenty of "talk" on the internet about politics, so I won't comment too much, other than to say that though one of my greatest present fears has come to pass, I have the comfort of knowing that God is still sovereign.  He will bring His will to pass.  He will be glorified.  In the meantime, we'd all better hang on, because it's going to be a rough ride.

In a blog post entitled "Amerika Goes Socialist", Judy Aron very articulately shares her thoughts:

"It's such a shame really.
Here is what we can look forward to:
Look for amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, the further expansion of government and social programs.
Look for the erosion of free speech through the implementation of "The Fairness Doctrine" and other more subtle forms of speech control including censorship of the Internet.
Look for more government intervention in your life and the government's invasion of your privacy.
Look for more government ownership of private business through government bailout programs etc.
Look for the erosion of private land ownership as more properties are taken through eminent domain.
Look for further destruction of our currency which will drive us to a global currency.
Look for the appointment of more liberal Supreme Court judges.
Look for more restrictive gun laws.
That and so much more.
It won't come all at once though...we'll just be treated to slowly boiled frog.

Yes, we will see change... but it won't be good change at all if you believe in the U.S. Constitution and sovereignty, and the dream that our founders gave to us which includes Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

I couldn't agree more.

The passage my husband read in family worship the other night really says it all:

"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."    Proverbs 29:2
