The Essential Mother

Will you cast your vote to end limited government?

If you have been waiting to cast your vote, perhaps you are uncertain as to which candidate represents the best opportunity for change and hope. Perhaps you are questioning the wisdom of more years of failed Bush policies.

However, you might want to consider whether or not you'd like to have four more years of limited government. Our founding fathers reigned in the power of any single branch of government so as to limit the potential for . . . . evil, tyranny, and other tramplings of justice.

As Christians today, we should be able to comprehend the wisdom of limited government because we believe what the Bible teaches: that is, "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

Knowing the capacity of human beings to wreak great evil on the world, especially those with great power, our founding fathers set up a governmental system that would make unleashing great evil fairly difficult to do.

Most of us did manage to learn about this characteristic in public school, back in the days when apparently, some students did learn something. It used to be called "checks and balances."

Today, we ignorantly say "Washington is broken." Actually, Washington was never designed to "work" very well. That is our protection against the evil in the hearts of men.

Perhaps after 232 years, enough is enough.

Which candidate sees the presidency as the conduit for change that includes fundamental change in our system of limited government?

Find out from the candidate himself.

Redistribution of weath? Is limited governement a "fatal flaw" ?

Have you ever wondered how the nation of Israel could continue to succumb to the peer pressure of the surrounding godless nations? How could they erect golden statues when the hand of God was so clearly directing them (you know the pillar of fire, manna, the ten commandments, and all that)? How could they?

Maybe we could blame it on evolution. We're so much smarter today.

Well then, what about a nation that tolerates slavery or a holocaust?

If you have ever wondered, look around you. An ignorant electorate, a press corp so slanted to one side as to be comical,  and an opposition that can't seem to gain traction with the arguments that should matter to all Americans.

Here we go again.
