My nephew asked my husband who is an ordained minister why Obama won, "because almost half of America voted for Mitt Romney." Never thought about it quite like that, but I can't say I disagree. Whether the election was stolen (which it may well have been), or whether the Republican machine is less efficient, or whether we really are losing the right/left tug of war, in any of these things, we had our only true chance to overcome them if we also had God's blessing.
I understand how fear and panic drive a wedge between us and God, between us and our duty to do the right thing. I only wish it hadn't happened on my watch.
Not to say God will never bless us again. But I do not see how it can happen now, until and unless there is a moment of national repentance unlike anything this nation has ever seen. Our sin is great and our repentance must rise to meet it, a tsunami of sorrow before God, rising from the broken hearts of the people of God. May God grant us that repentance.
Peace,
SR

Our problem, SR, is that without a Holy Spirit-driven REAL revival, there will be no such tsunami.
I've seen no evidence that there is any groundswell of repentence, or even acknowledgment that the people of this nation are ready to take responsibility for their sinful lives.
