I was going to post the following to Jim’s thread yesterday where he said “No matter who you do or don’t vote for at the top of the ticket, we must turn out like never before to vote straight conservative down ticket!!”
But it didn’t sound very good and I’m not sure I was making my point, so I trashed it. But GR, your comments echo my thoughts - so I guess I’ll post it here and hope my meaning is clear.

Yes, and it goes farther than that - we need to talk with our neighbors, co-workers, and perhaps most importantly the young ones in our communities as the track we are on is more than this year’s vote.
This morning I woke up early and couldn’t get back to sleep. That rarely happens. I had a huge pit in my stomach - something was wrong, somewhere. I thought “Oh - maybe it’s Monday in Asia and the market has crashed because of Greece?” (That wasn’t it).
Then I thought of how God lays judgement on Nations. And how when Israel wanted a King like all the other nations, even though God told them they were not to have any kings.
Well - God let them have their wish. And they got a bunch of lousy kings and it tore their nation apart. (Probably led to the destruction of their country for a few hundred years, but I forget).
And now God is letting the majority of our country to choose a leader. And with the years and years of liberal, immoral desires that have been cultivated - He is bringing up the leaders the majority want. Our collective hearts as a Nation have turned away from God, and our judgement has been a long-time coming. While He is a patient God, one wonders how long we can try it?
But it will need a change of massive proportions among the people of this nation, and it is a change of core values of what is right and wrong, moral and unjust, and a return to the values on which this great country was founded - founded upon God, and in some miraculous way, Created BY God.
And unless a miracle happens, I hope that it won’t all collapse as it will only get worse on the political level with who God has allowed to be raised up.
