"if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14
"What America needs is spiritual renewal and reconciliation- First man with God, then man with man." -Ronald Reagan 1976
Now more then ever we must pray. Please, respect both parties. Please, carry yourself with tact. No less then 30 minutes, and I have read both parties bashing... its over guys. Seriously. Let's unite. It's four years. I'm scared... America got what it asked for... a "change"... we now must pray for mercy for our nation... that our land will be healed...
Christians- we are in danger... Conservatives we are in danger... Unborn children now are more dangered than ever... Please... Please... Please pray... handle yourself with tact... Be slow to anger... Quick to love... We are all in this together... I want to cry right now... I'm terrified...
If we truly trust our Lord and Savior... we have no worries... He has our best interest in mind... all may seem to be going to waste, God is in control... Israel asked for a king- they got Saul... America has asked for a change... we have Obama... within the next four years... we will learn from our choices and mistakes... we will learn to trust God more than ever. We will learn to stay strong.
Keep strong my fellow Conservatives... We must... We are the only ones holding this country together...
I feel mostly for my troops. MY FAMILY... MY COUSINS, UNCLES and GRANDFATHERS. Obama has made a mockery of war... That hurts me almost more then the thought of all of the innocents lives that will be lost.
I'm done. I cannot think on these horrid things anymore tonight, I might throw myself into depression. There has to be a good to come out of this... (perhaps learning that being brainwashed by a socialist democrat is un-healthy for this country and our well-beings).

get out, go vote.
I don't care who you are voting for, as long as you recognize your right as an American citizen to go and vote. That being said, I cast my vote for John McCain.
I was sitting in my English class this morning, and there were five people in there who have decided to not vote, because... "One vote won't make any difference" (Maybe I'm crazy, but there were 5 votes in my English class that were not accounted for). There are 20 people in my class, 5 out of 20 people didn't vote. That's 25 % of my class? Lets say there's 1000 people on campus for the 8 am classes...(of the voting age) 5 people out of ever 20 person class decided not to vote... that 400 people... and it goes on and on and well, you get the picture. The point is, your vote does count! If we all had that apathetic, lazy mentality then we would definitely not still hold this unique ability to vote for who we feel is the most apt to lead our country.
This just sickens me to think that some people are too lazy to go and cast a vote every FOUR years. 'its such an inconvenience'... Its going to be an even bigger inconvenience when your whole right is taken away... Its one day every...1,460 days (give or take a few) you can't take ONE day for that?
It also bothers me that someone who doesn't vote, still feels as if they have the right to state their opinion on who should've or shouldn't of won. Try to start debates and arguments on why they think someone should've won. They didn't feel the need to state their opinion by voting, so why feel the need to vocalize then. Its too late. Your opinion is null and void in my book.
All I am saying, vote for who you feel will lead this country the best. I am not going to try to sway your ideology. I pray you've done your research, I trust you're not going along with the bandwagon method of voting.
This is such a critical time in our lives. Take that into consideration, please go out and vote.
