Church v.s. State
I guess I was kind of disappointed to read this:

I really don’t think religious groups should tell you how to vote, nor should they contribute to a campaign.
Some people might think we are going to Hell in a hand-basket. Heaven forbid we have a black president, who is the best damn father I’ve seen and who is married to a woman who is going to promote family to our country. Heaven forbid 2 people who love each other want to get married and raise a family.
I personally think intolerance and ignorance does the most harm. Most wars are a result of this intolerance. Thinking someone else should be living the way we do and enforcing our way of life on them. We are a relatively new country. How can we pretend to think it’s our way or the highway? How can a country that’s only 5% of the world’s population think it’s the majority? Most of the world is not white (http://anthro.palomar.edu/ethnicity/ethnic_5.htm). The majority of the world is not Christian (http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html). We ARE the minority! We live in a world of many wonderful cultures. Perhaps we should convert to their way of thinking?
P.S. I actually had people that would not let their children come up to my door to trick-or-treat because I had Obama signs in my yard. Now that’s parenting! Instill the fear into the children.
A New Era
Hooray! I am happy. I think this is the start of a new era. Hopefully one where we can now pull together as a nation. I think we have a leader that can do that. McCain’s speech was great… awaiting Obama’s.
Signs, Signs, Everywhere There Was Signs
So Halloween was last night and someone decided to play a “trick” on me and take my 4 Obama signs and replace them with 1 McCain/Palin sign. Luckily I had a spare to at least put one back out there. My take on this… intolerance. We aren’t suppose to be a divided nation. We’re suppose to be working together to solve the problems. I think that’s the difference between the candidates.
