“No telling how many FReepers would have morphed into Obama supporters.”
Frankly, it doesn’t really matter whether freepers become Obama supporters. When the administration goes out of its way to persecute people this way and then does a 180 after they’ve accomplished their short term goals in order to use the situation to support another one of their goals, people need to be aware that they’re being manipulated.
Well, everything this administration does is an attempt at manipulation. I think a lot of us are desensitized to that. But here’s the thing. God plays hardball better than anybody. Think you’re shrewd? God is shrewder. Got conspiracy? God’s got a better one. We may not be able to see all that He is up to, but you can rest assured He will get His will done despite the best efforts of the “clever” to thwart it. And apparently it is His will, for now, that this family remains free, here, to raise their children in godliness, and it is God who should be thanked.
