That the election of November 6, 2012, has the potential to be a definitive moment in American history is now almost a truism. This conception may sound overblown to the ignorant and disengaged, but in fact it is a great understatement.

But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.
You are nothing more than a pig of an individual...really.
HMMmm...
You seem to serve your GOD in a different manner than most folks...
OH?
Your emotional replies tend to indicate something else.

They’d probably remember me at the polling place!
