Thanks for writing such a thoughtful, respectful post. When it comes to politics in general and the current Presidential election in particular, such posts seem to be a rare gem.

I have no faith in the Republican party any more. Odd how they always talk about balanced budgets and reducing spending but when all is said and done the deficit goes up. Bill Clinton (Democrat!) actually managed to reduce it and produce a surplus. Odd that, no?

Amen!

I�m not saying those who vote Republican are less entitled to the name �Christian� than I am, but I am saying that they are wrong, dead wrong, when they pretend that their vote supports Christian principles to a greater extent than those who vote for another party.

Absolutely AMEN!

Finally, I believe Republican stewardship has been miserable, and I won�t reward them with my vote. They should reap what they have sown.

Amen, and thank you!

I will echo the first commenter … “nicely put.”

I am glad I found your blog. I have been reading some of your posts and while we don’t agree on everything, I like your style.

As a minor point, I was curious just which of the current administration’s ideas you regard as consistent with the principles of the founding fathers. Was it warrantless wiretaps? Numerous foreign adventures? Continued concentration of power in the executive branch?

Considering the variety of people who might be counted as “founding fathers” one can get quite a number of things there.

My major point would be this: Is the position of the founding fathers equivalent to the correct Christian position? In other words, to be a good Christian must I support all the principles expressed by the American founding fathers?

Man, you are one mixed up dude. You obviously don’t understand or simply choose to ignore the principals on which this country was founded. Barry Obama is the antithesis of our founding fathers. Hopefully, there won’t be enough misguided Americans like you to put Barry in the White House. He is simply the most radical, extreme candidate who ever got this close to the Presidency. The man is an empty suit to boot.
