"...Let me ask you a question then: Is God Lord over politics or does His sovereignty end at the White House door?.."

So, what's your point? That Bush should destroy the greatest Republic ever created, by throwing out our judicial system, in a vain attempt to end abortion? It would lead to civil war, and in the end, probably wouldn't even end abortion. You think this would gain God's favor? I disagree, sir, most strongly. God, I believe, is working through Bush, and America is the richer for it. You are too impatient for change, and you would destroy us, to save us. Good intentions are not sufficient to attain redemption, if through them you destroy what is good.

This is hyperbole. Our founders set up this constitutional republic, and said that its survival depends on morality of the leaders. Is Bush being moral when he ignores right and wrong for the sake of political expediency. Do you think Washington would have compromised on these issues? Think again. The first anti-abortion laws were passed about the same time as the Bill of Rights was ratified. What does that tell you?

It would lead to civil war, and in the end, probably wouldn't even end abortion.

People are being murdered. 43 million since 1973. I don't believe in peace at any price. And neither did our founding fathers.

Really? Did God approve of the war to end slavery in 1861? What do you think? Did he agree with the war to end the slaughter of jews in Nazi Germany? What do you think? God hates the shedding of innocent blood and he does not compromise on right and wrong. God does not tolerate murder - why should I?

You are too impatient for change, and you would destroy us, to save us. Good intentions are not sufficient to attain redemption, if through them you destroy what is good.

In case you hadn't noticed, we are being destroyed day by day. Look around. 43 million babies dead, homosexual marriage, Christianity under assualt by the courts and schools, erosion of freedom of speech, religion and right to bear arms, ever expanding and instrusive govt. - where do you think all of this will lead? Utopia? Think again!
