I prayed that President Clinton would come to Christ and renounce his ways. I wanted him to change, but he did not.
I also prayed for the patience to make it through the 8 years of his presidency, and to not be consumed by hate.
I also prayed for President Bush to win the electioin, thanked God for it and continue to do so every day, for God is the final arbiter in this. As far as your accusation of idolatry...I can only say that you are far wide of the mark.
I have no more to say to you. Enjoy your life.
You said earlier that...
...if you don't like the President's style and strategy, you are just going to have to learn to live with it. Just because you, or Mark Steyn, or any one of a hundred other gripers isn't pleased with his mmanner of addressing this issue does not mean he is going to change.So does this apply across the board to ALL presidents, or only to one president? Because if you're consistent in the least bit, you will agree that you should have put up and shut up while Clinton was in the Oval Office. That's pretty much the "if you're being raped, relax and enjoy it" argument.
Well, did YOU shut up when Clinton was president? Because if you didn't, then you've no rights at all telling others to oblige this president with silent dissent.
What is the point of that comment...because I said I supported "the President" you think I support all presidents?
This tells us where your heart lies, Marple. You really don't give a flying rat's butt about what's best for the country. You only want to feel empowered, and you get your jollies by reminding everyone around you that "your guy" is in the White House. You don't want to destroy overwhelming power over people... you want to be part of that power. And where you conflict with MANY of us on FR is that a lot of us refuse to settle for one party trading places with another, when we seriously want NO party over us, period.
I prayed that President Clinton would come to Christ and renounce his ways. I wanted him to change, but he did not.
And you would declare that he has no hope left at all, that God has turned His eyes from him? God is doing for Clinton what He's done for you, me and everyone else on this planet: trying to get us home. And you would judge Clinton unworthy of that?
Now who's "petty"?
I also prayed for the patience to make it through the 8 years of his presidency, and to not be consumed by hate.
You failed.
I also prayed for President Bush to win the electioin, thanked God for it and continue to do so every day, for God is the final arbiter in this.
Wrong prayer. You should have prayed for God's will to be done, and not our own.
