- In light of another Four Years: God Bless America - Wednesday, November 03, 2004 I’m going to do a big no-no on my own blog, and share my feelings about last night’s election. By no means am I less passionate about the politics of my country just because I don’t feel the need to mention such things in this setting. And I realize that the majority (damn near all) of the friends that read this blog are of the Democratic persuasion, but this is what I have to say. Yes, I am happy that President Bush was re-elected to office. This president has had to endure what no human should be allowed to: deciding ‘what to do next’ after 9/ll. I wouldn’t wish that decision on my worst enemy, but fresh into the white house he was faced with the ugliest of human nature and what pure evil can accomplish on a mass scale. Simply because I’m Republican does not mean that I accepted Bush from the get go, he may not be perfect in all his ways, but my bottom line is anyone that puts his trust in Jesus Christ and is not afraid to profess it is someone that I can stand behind. I firmly believe that no one should push their moral standards on anyone (i.e. homosexuality, gay marriage, abortion), and all should be free to worship the god they choose. That’s what America was all about, right? Freedom. However, from the moment our forefathers set foot on this land, it is written in the history records (funny how they never seemed to make it to the school text books) that this land was a) dedicated to The Lord, and b) fashioned so that this country would have a firm foundation based on the Bible and the Gospel. Honestly, I think I would be satisfied even if Sen. John Kerry won this election. I have no harsh words for Kerry. Only a slight fear of someone who referred to the threat of Terrorism as a ‘nuisance’. In the end, I don’t put my trust in man for my future. I would pray everyday for John Kerry to have the strength to face the hardest, most thankless, yet most important job of all – President of our Nation. I see that everything also happens for a purpose, nothing up to chance. Pray for your leaders. They need your prayers, not your division. This is not the time for our country to be divided, which is a vulnerability that our now ever-present enemy will use to their advantage. I may have moments of dislike toward certain Presidential candidates, but I’ve never seen such hatred toward a President than in this election. Pray for change. God may even bring it through a man you would have least expected it from.
