Is there a political campaign for President going on? Does anybody give a crap?

Yep, I give a crap.
I'm one of those fools whom still believes there is an outside chance we can save the Republic and return to common sense without a blood bath.

I'm also prepared ... either way.

I'll not take one more damn step back from my convictions.
So help me God.

Yeah actually very much.

Indeed I give a big crap...

I just got through explaining why CA Jerry Brown's decision to give financial Aid Education to illegal immigrants is really a bad idea. The guy I was explaining it to, was of course, Hispanic. He supports Jerry Brown.

It seems that the disparity in the ideology of the California education Aid model is lost on so many people... But, the fact that it has to even be explained is what really disturbs me.

NO sh*t. Try explaining it with the butt of a gun in your hand. Most reasonable people start to understand real fast. Thats funny!

its getting harder to

Political choices are usually between bad or worse.
Do you want the sh*t sandwich or giant douche?
What you really want is never an option.
So, elections are usually an exercise in attempting to stop things from getting worse.
That is why America sorely needs some election reforms:
Instant Run-off Voting
Publicly Financed Elections
Ban on Fundraising (or "bribes" as they used to be called)
Equal airtime for each candidate, including third-party candidates
Automatic Voting Registration, you turn 18 and are automatically registered. Hell, the government makes you register as a potential draftee when you turn 18 anyway.
Anti-gerrymandering laws
etc., etc., etc.

I'm curious. Can a Christian love his enemy and shoot him? Of Christians it is written:

"We are as lambs led to the slaughter" and "Vengeance is mine says the Lord".

"If anyone is to be taken captive, he must go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. This is what the endurance and faith of the saints means. " 13:10 ISV

So how are we going to convince God otherwise? If a Christian is dead to himself and now lives to Christ, how would Christ overcome? How did Christ overcome those who came for him? How did he defeat his enemy?

In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take up the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, *(and the UZI of Israel), praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

My God has everything under control. If he says it's time for me to lose my head, then that is what I shall do.

Even when we vote, were asking for something from the government

Not Thinking that I'm gonna become a saint. But I just might become an angel.

Well Peter probably had connections at the church and may have hired hit men from time to time... (According to Uncle Vinnie of Sicily)'

Apparently, there must be many more Christians than we realized, (I've notice many more people losing their heads these days)

"Apparently, there must be many more Christians than we realized, (I've notice many more people losing their heads these days)"

Yeah. I agree. Head losing may be the hula hoop of tomorrow.

GOD seems to be very specific about the sword. No mention of
IEDs or underware bombs. Until our enemies pick up a sword I
would suggest we keep KILLING them with our little unmaned planes.
To hell with them.

I like Ron Paul myself but as I told a friend - even if Dr. Paul were elected, then cloned to fill every other govt position, it no longer matters. The tipping point has come and past.

The real question is this: what will rise out of the chaos to come?

The definition of insanity is voting for politicians, who cause most of the problems, to solve the problems.
