Vote Nobama 2008

If anyone has seen the back of my vehicle lately, or driven past my house, you will notice I am planning to vote for John McCain this year. Some very good brethren may disagree with this choice, but I believe it to the best one.

First off, this country cannot afford the liberal Obama/Biden ticket. Obviously there are moral issues such as abortion and sodomy at stake. No child of God should even consider voting for anyone who favors those! And then there is the issue of gun control. Do not be deceived, our guns are not safe with a "President Obama."

Secondly, there is more at stake than the next four years. The Supreme Court is divided now. We will see it shift further left with any judges appointed by Obama.  He would appoint those who believe the Constitution (Bill of Rights) are whatever the court interprets them to mean, not what the founding fathers wrote in plain English.  Remember these judges are appointed for life and they will still be a problem for years to come!

There are a host of other key issues that I could list here.  AFA has produced a very good voter guide.  Please look at it and pass it out to your friends and churches.

We must watch out.  Vote Nobama in 2008.  Please join me in voting for McCain on November 4th.  But don't forget to pray!

A Teacher Fights to Keep His Bible On His Desk

It is hard to imagine that this is taking place in America, a nation that was founded on Biblical ideals, but it is happening...right here in Ohio. We need to pray for our country and stand up against the ACLU and other liberals in our country now, while we still have time!

For those unfamiliar with this, please visit the following from the Mansfield News Journal:

Here's also a copy of my letter to the editor, written after I read about Mr. Freshwater.

The Mount Vernon school district ought to be ashamed! I read in disbelief the story about Mr. Freshwater's Bible. The part that amazed me is that he was not accused of teaching from the Bible, he was accused of having his Bible on his desk! I think this teacher ought to be commended for having his Bible in the school, and I wish there were more teachers like him! The First Amendment does not grant people freedom from religion, but it grants freedom of religion. The Founding Fathers did not intend to keep religion out of school. In fact, it was just the opposite. I own reprints of such 18^th and 19^th century schoolbooks as The New England Primer and McGuffey's Readers. These books are full of references about God and the Bible. Now the schoolbooks do not mention God, and teachers are apparently not allowed to even show their Bible in the classroom where the kids can see. During the early years of our nation, it was unheard of for one child to rape another. They had guns, but they did not shoot each other. Now, God has been “expelled” from the public schools and rapes and school shootings are much too common. Coincidental? I think not. These kids need to know the Ten Commandments, the golden rule, and the fact they were made in the image of God. The Bible was good enough for our Founding Fathers, and it is good enough for our kids today. I appreciate Mr. Freshwater's stand on this, and would encourage him to continue fighting.

Benjamin Rush, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence wrote, “The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion.” And in the Bible, we read a warning that we all need to pay attention to: “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalm 9:17).

New Voter Guide from AFA

Well, Ohio FINALLY gets a turn at this process this Tuesday, March 4th. By this time, the list of candidates has gotten smaller. Today, the American Family Association sent me an updated voter guide listing only those candidates that are still running.

And, as you could probably tell from my website, I STILL think Mike Huckabee is the best choice, and will be casting my vote for him on March 4. Contrary to what John McCain thinks, he does not have the Republican nomination yet. And, I hope Ohio will remind him of that by voting for Mike Huckabee in the Republican primary! Speaking of Mr. Huckabee, I wanted to see him when he was in Columbus on February 27 but we were unable to go. Perhaps we will have another chance to see him when he is President of the United States of America!

Here are some useful links:

Recommended Books: Februrary 2008

Here are a list of books that I recommend on the subject of American History. I own all of these, and wish every American would read them. How great it would be if just one of these books would be required reading in every social studies class (whether it be in a public, private or home school)! Satan seems to be working hard to try to erase the truth of our country's Christian heritage. May we never forget, but more importantly, may we once again be a nation that pleases God!

"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14:34).

Mike Huckabee for President!

Surprised? Maybe you have been led to believe that only two Republicans and two Democrats are running at this point in time. Maybe you have been paying too much attention to the television or the radio. All of the media (including CNN, FOX News, and even many "conservative" talk show hosts) have been talking about McCain and Romney, the two WORST choices on the Republican side.

Governor Mike Huckabee is by far the best choice to be the next president. If you have not thought much about him, please do.


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

As a born again child of God, I cannot support any other person running for president. Voting is a privilege and an honor, something we should not take lightly! So, when you vote, cast your vote for such a man of high moral integrity as Mr. Mike Huckabee! If you can, please also support him financially.

Oh, and by all means, please also take a look at the Voter Guide published by the American Family Association to see where all the candidates stand on the issues that are important to this nation!

Can a man like Mike Huckabee be the next President of the United States? "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." (Mark 10:27)

Lesser of Two Evils?

Today, on my way to work, I heard James Dobson on the radio. Now, I do not always agree with Dr. Dobson and his Focus on the Family, but I have agreed with some of his ideas. So, I stopped to listen in. He was speaking about the upcoming election, and he said the following words, copied directly from the copy of the transcript found on their website:

"Some … some people are talking. You hear this a lot now. They talk about the lesser of two evils; choose the lesser. Well, the only problem with that is, when you choose a lesser of two evils, you've still chosen evil. And uh, it leads to compromise. And I tell you, I can't do that."

And neither can I. At the time of this writing, there is a BIG chance both candidates from the two major parties in the USA might very well equally support things like abortion, gay marriage, etc. How will you vote? We need to think about this very seriously because God demands holiness in everything, including the way we vote. Notice:

"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." (I Peter 1:13-16).

Mr. Dobson then ended his speech with these words: "It is never right to do what is wrong, and it is never wrong to do what is right."

Amen, and may God help us as His people to do that which is pleasing to Him.
