whew, glad that does not have to happen.
Actually i don’t think he would, he may disagree with me but you gotta remember that Gramps was a good man bottom line who loved and gave his whole life serving others. He did not like politics or political people remember John Hedi? If he were alive he might ask me for why I would endorse a candidate and i would tell him what is above. I kept getting smear emails claiming to be the truth, so, as I was always taught i went the source to get the truth and guess what quite the opposite was true. One email every fact it stated was infact not fact at all. that is when i thought to my self, wait a second. Number one dont say something you cant back up, and for real dont lie about others. If some one makes a false claim about you dont let it ruffle your feathers. so i waited and not two days later the big “O” listed a little fact check blip on the website for his candidicy. Not a huge angry mess but a simple almost Jesus him self like rebuttle. Right then i was sold. how do you handle yourself under pressure when being falseliy accused, i think that says a great deal about a man. I learned this from watching Gramps under a great deal of stress. After the Bus wreck the college he was president of had, i saw some one who could have run but instead sttod for what he saw as right and true even in the face of adversity.
I don’t think he would die all over again. I think he might say “well ok, I see you point” and offer me some butter milk or sour kraut, maybe even a drive out to the home place in boulder city to get a Welches grape soda and a zero candy bar. remember that?
He would have NEVER endorsed a candidate who does not stand with Israel. Uncle Jerry says you need to go to Focus On the Family’s web site and listen to Feb. 4th, 5th, and 6th’s programs. Very sobering information, if you dare.
mom, i never said he would agree with me. I don’t think he would have hated me for having a different opinion.
Now i have to listen to James Dobson so he can make me wanna vote for Obama even more. I love Israel mom i even buy HEEB magazine, I want the Obama bumper sticker in Hebrew for GUS the Jewish bus. I have to say though Israel needs to get their “stuff” together. I mean come on they pretty much lost their last offensive, and it want because we did not help them out.
I think we are done here. I cant listen to James Dobson any more i am 20 minuets into this and sick to my stomach. He may have some good things to say about raising kids, but past that i think he is in way too good with the Karl Rove set.
I grew up with James Dobson. Every frigging day, Focus on the Family would blare through our radio like it was the sunshine of God himself. But between you and me Daine, and I think you’ll agree with me here, Dobson has a tendency to take things out of context so that he can promote his own agenda. An agenda which is deteriorating if anyone pays attention to his listener numbers.
According to an Israeli newspaper, Obama is quoted to the following:
“My view is that the United States’ special relationship with Israel obligates us to be helpful to them in the search for credible partners with whom they can make peace, while also supporting Israel in defending itself against enemies sworn to its destruction.”
From my point of view, I’m tired of making choices based on fear. My entire life, my parents ingrained in me the concept that if we didn’t vote Republican, that we’re just asking for the demise of every Christian, everywhere. Our morals and values would be flushed down the drain, our ideals, obliterated.
But look around us. Take an honest look at the world and tell me that our morals and ideals are not laughed at. Tell me that the overall attitude towards Christians throughout the world isn’t increasingly becoming more hostile.
This isn’t the fault of our political choices, but our every day choices. We have drawn lines in the sand over homosexuality, abortion and evolution instead of showing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. We are responsible for the walls we have built with our culture. If we had been following the fruits of the spirit, I guarantee you that the people around us wouldn’t think “Christian” synonymous with “Hypocrite.”
