As I sat thinking about this election tomorrow and praying about the outcome Proverbs 14:34 came to my mind. "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." America is certainly not an innocent nation when it comes to the sin problem. There have always been deviant characters in our history, even in the early days of our Christian Founding Fathers.
Alexander Hamilton, aide to Washington in the Revolution and first Secretary of the Treasury, had an adulterous affair in 1791 that nearly ended his public career and made an enemy of one Aaron Burr. Burr was a rather despicable person himself, who finally ended Hamilton's life in a duel in 1804, and became so unpopular he ended his life in obscurity. The presidency has had adulterers as well including the longest serving president, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Camelot President had multiple meetings in the White House with the most famous movie sex goddess of his day. His latter day follower from Arkansas was so lacking in discretion that when he was found out he had to be vindicated by forty-five Democrat Senators to whom party loyalty was more important than character or the law.
Of course, immorality is not the only sin to have ever rocked the government. Ulysses S. Grant's administration was plagued by scandal proving he had been a much better general than president. Woodrow Wilson led the country into a war he promised to stay out of and then tried to tie the United States to his socialist view of a one world in the League of Nations. Jimmy Carter was a master at speaking out of both sides of his mouth depending on where in the country he was speaking. But for sheer Machiavellian gall, the current administration and the party in power takes the cake. No lie is too big to tell, no promise too small to break, no law too important to ignore. The Constitution be damned. The will of the people means nothing because they are too dumb to make their own decisions. The bankrupting and destruction of the country is George Bush's fault.
In order to continue in this vein vote rigging and fraudulent registrations, so far all in Democrat favor, are springing up in several states across the country. In the tank liberal news media are trashing conservative candidates, even, in the case of Joe Miller in Alaska, conspiring to unload last minute fabricated stories to destroy his character and his chances of winning. These are people so lacking in integrity and so full of anti-Christian and anti-decency vitriol that they have no shame about trying to steal the election.
On August 28, Glen Beck, fed up with the two-faced deceitfulness of the current government, held a rally at the Lincoln Memorial on the mall in Washington, D.C. The rally called on Americans to restore honor in our Christian nation. It reminded us of the unbending character of George Washington and others of our Founders. As such, it was almost a religious meeting as it called on people to restore character to our government. Several hundred thousand people showed up on the mall and when the day was done, they left it as clean as when they came.
For that peaceful demonstration of decency in America and the call for all Americans to join, Democrats, liberals, and the mainstream press excoriated Beck. They called for marches of their own and on October 2, they held the One Nation March at the same site. In contrast to the hundreds of thousands at the Beck rally, tens of thousands showed up that day, pushed and threatened reporters who were not sympathetic to their cause and left the mall littered with trash. It was a spectacular flop, so comedian Jon Stewart decided to host his own rally and called it the Restoring Sanity rally.
In other words, in order to be sane you can't have character, honor, or religion. There's only one word to describe that kind of thinking: insane.
On the campaign trail in 2008 when Rick Warren held a question and answer session at his Saddleback Church with the candidates, he asked the question, "When does life begin?" Obama, thinking he was being clever, dodged the question by saying, "That's above my pay grade." Except that, it was only above his pay grade when it was expedient for it to be above.
Out campaigning for Democrat candidates, Obama declared in favor of the homosexual community when he said that some people are born gay and will always be gay. Apparently his pay grade has risen, but while his comment might please the gay community, it has absolutely no basis in fact or even reality. After a long publicized lesbian affair with Ellen Degeneres, Anne Heche, without any counseling or religious experience, left Degeneres to get married ... to a man. The gay lifestyle is obviously not genetic. It is sinful.
Obama promised that abortion would not be in his health plan, yet several cases have already come up where his plan is funding abortion. He promised there would be no tax hikes, but when the healthcare plan kicks in this coming January there will be massive tax hikes to go along with it. Obama laughed at the accusation that his ideas were socialist, yet everything he has done as president is designed to bypass our Constitution and socialize our country. And with a socialist country where the few hard working give everything to the poor to even the balance, no one needs to be left out so the Mexican border has to stay open. Obama keeps talking about tackling the debt, yet when Republicans are critical of his 1.3 trillion dollar deficit predicted for this year he asks them, "Where would you cut it?" The real question is whether or not he's going to.
If this man is allowed to continue his agenda he will eventually destroy the United States of America. That's why this election is so vitally important. America is on the brink of disaster, a disaster brought about by wicked people to whom sin is preferable to purity. Much to liberal consternation, character does matter. Righteousness does matter. It was the righteous lives of our Christian founders, men like George Washington, who taught us that "honesty is the best policy," that made America great. It is men with that belief of righteous living that will make America great again.
The only hope for that is to get the wicked gay-loving, abortion-loving, sin-loving, unrighteous liberals and Rino Republicans out of Congress. In order to do that we must do one thing.
VOTE!!! Don't sit idly by tomorrow. Go out and VOTE!!! Need I say it again? VOTE!!!
