This was a really nice story. Thanks for the post. I'm a bit impressed with the Amish backing Bush since they are anti war. But, they are probably pro soverignity and democracy, which Bush is maintaing for this country.
Sorry about my spelling... was interrupted and forgot spell check.
And most of them don't vote because they believe they are supposed to remain separate from the pollution of modern society and not involve themselves with the affairs of modern society--and especially not with affairs that have to do with killing other people, like wars. You are right about their being anti-war, any war for any reason.
This was just some Christians meeting another Christian from a different sect. It was just a neighborly thing.
They aren't anti-war. They are conscientious objectors and have occasionally served as such. They object to being personally responsible for killing somebody because they do not believe that violence is a solution to human problems. However, the Amish helped the American cause in the War for Independence, for example, although obviously not as soldiers.
