I know your issues with Mormonism, but I wonder if it was wise to let the bigger evil (Moslem Obama) win. What do you think now?
Well, a LOT of people have said that whoever gains power, God's sovereignty is still in play...
IoW, that God has certain purposes for that...even if it's judgment vs. a people...and let's face it, if our land worships the $ -- what better way to "judge" us than by removing the average $1 from this land?
Many FReepers told me that God could work thru a pagan leader -- or one who calls upon a distinct god. Of course, the "leader" they were referencing was Mitt Romney. My Q earlier this week back to one of them is why didn't they apply this same theological application to Obama?
So, if God had anything to do with either allowing Obama to be POTUS -- and remain there -- then who would I be to question His sovereign wisdom?
And frankly, 'tis better to go the route of acknowledging active sovereignty vs. becoming a deist.
Another factor people tend not to consider is I believe we were "had" as a nation either (a) as soon as we were hit up as a nation financially in 2008 -- when even a POTUS we liked was in power; and/or (b) when Obama was put in power; or (c) the moment Romney became our unofficial nominee.
God's temporal judgment already seemed to be kicking in a LOT earlier than the average FReeper will acknowledge. I believe that FReepers were simply in denial about this -- and wanted to believe we still had an "out" somewhere...Hence, they treated Romney as some political messiah...the last "hope."
And the problem with that, as I see it, were I God, is why give a guy who already claims to be a competing god the glory of national deliverance? I mean Lds literally use the word "saviors" to apply to themselves due to baptism of the dead.
Why would God want to reinforce...
...glory for a false "god" (Romney)?
...the false notion that Lds are literal "saviors"?
...and the false Mormon prophesy of the White Horse riding in to rescue the constitution?
Lastly, think of it this way:
What has made the GoP great was its initial stances on social issues...going back to 1856 when it started when it said it would take on the "twin relics" of slavery and polygamy.
It took them on for the next 40+ years!
The GoP has spoken out on behalf of the pre-born.
Had the RINOs completed this takeover of the GoP, they would have (a) held power thru 2020 and beyond... (b) "Proved" to all that RINOism is the way to go; (c) They would have held a "funeral" of sorts for both the Tea Party & social conservatives.
We would have been "dead in the water"...the Third Wheel on a "date"...viewed as the "crazy aunt" that needs to be hid in the White House basement...
They tried to tell us that the "base" of the party -- the two groups above -- were irrelevant. That we only needed to be good "minions" and show up on election day...and that they would rule the party, the White House, and the world via RINOism.
Well, for the umpteenth time, they proved how wrong they were!
They keep giving us either boring white guys or country club millionaires whose country club embraced open racism; and they somehow think that our changing multi-cultural nation won't notice...
Can you say stupid???
