The Wrong Question...

A recent headling read "What's being done to make sure Americans are pursuing happiness?"

I assume that they're speaking to our right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", but what baffled me was the emphasis on the last one.  

I'm a bit more concerned with what's being done to protect my right to life ... not just mine, but all life - this includes babies and/or other people who society might not think worthy of life.  

I'm also quite concerned with my right to liberty!  At the rate our country is going we're looking to give away our liberties pretty quickly.  Freedom isn't Free -- and yet we're so willing to hand it over at the first sight of discomfort.  

Perhaps the problem lies in the fact that a question like that even needs to be asked .... happiness is a result of life and liberty and should never be a stand-alone right to be focused on.

AAaaaargh!!!

I voted and now it's in the Lord's hands!

My hands were trembling, my heart was pleading with my Savior as I stood in that little cubbie they give you to vote in. I knew this one meant something ... this time voting was different. Regardless of the outcome the vote that I cast yesterday is going to mean something. It could mean that my candidate (while granted not my ideal one) and his VP (ideal as they come) could be president, and we are (at least for now) on the right path to protecting some of our most prized rights. It could also mean that my candidate didn't win and that one of the most liberal candidates ever has now become our leader and my vote means that I will have to work that much harder to fight for the things that I believe in and to do my part to protect my beloved country from his menacing plans.

May God bless America and have Mercy on us all!! Regardless of the outcome my God is BIG and greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the World! Cover this election in prayer!

Take Heart Sarah Palin

I have much more to say on this matter, and I will as time allows. I personally think that picking Sarah Palin as his running mate is the most brilliant thing that John McCain has ever done. It has made me excited about this election at a time when I wasn't sure that I could bring myself to vote!

I'm so frustrated with the way the media has just proven their double standard. People Magazine (a website I will no longer frequent) has run several stories on Obama and his brilliant career, beautiful family... (I hope you can sense the sarcasm dripping as you read). As far as Republicans are concerned, they have only discussed the pregnancy of a 17-year old girl that is not even running for office. In my next post I will get into more specifics about this nonsense, but for now I'd like to encourage Sarah with some brilliant words from a brilliant woman...

“I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.”
