Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.
–Dietrich Bonhoeffer–
I’ve been putting this off long enough. Sure enough it will tick off some people but I am willing to chance it. I will say what is on my mind and try to say it as diplomatically as possible. If I loose readers, so be it.
Everybody knows America will be choosing a new leader — that is, if votes really matter — within a few weeks.
I am not into Kingdom/Dominion Theology where it is taught the church has to get everything lined up in all the affairs of man so Jesus can return. But there are many who are. It doesn’t matter to them if Romney is a Mormon or not, just as long as they pick someone who can help bring in their values,hoping to speed the return of the Messiah in one way or the other. Others speak out and tell others not to vote because well, golly gee, we have to choose between the lesser of two evils all of a sudden. Really? This is the first time? This is the very first time we have had to chooses between the two? I don’t think so. Man’s government will never be perfect. Never. Never has been and never will be. The people who refuse to vote for a man because of his religion, whether they want to see it or not, are stuck in the very same mindset as the ones who vote for a man because of his religion. Both are wanting their kingdom/values/beliefs brought to earth.
Then there are others, like myself, who just want to stay free. Free to think whatever I want without the thought police coming against what I believe. Free to say whatever I darn well please without fear of someone knocking on my door and hauling me off to some state run detention center for some creepy psychoanalysis run by a bunch of nazi-like new age communist humanists. Free to keep what is mine and choosing who or how I bless others through what God has blessed me with, instead of government who desire to steal from me to give to those who prop up everything I am against. I want to be free to eat the foods I want without government regulating everything that goes into my mouth. I want to be free to worship without government telling me whose religion is more important than another, compromising freedom for a fake and phony peace with those who desire to see Christians and Jews murdered in the name of their god. Free to leave anyone I choose an inheritance without government demanding some kind of death tax or other means to steal what I may lay up for anyone else. Free to own a gun if I want and free enough to use it if I have to. Free to have and own my own buisness without somebody who dares to say, “You didn’t build that,” forcing all kinds of regulations upon me just to shut me down! Free to plant vegtables in my own backyard that has not been controlled by government, for pete sakes!
My emotions have run so high the past four years, I have not been able to see straight at times, causing a wearing down in my body and mind. I purposely have withdrawn from political causes on this blog for that reason. I refuse to let myself become so overwhelmed by the likes of evil men that they rob me of any joy God may have in front of me. However, I must speak. I will not passively sit back at this crucial time in American history and pretend all is well. I will not.
In all of my almost 60 years on earth, I have never seen such an onslaught of deceit, wickedness, debauchery, perverseness, lies, fraud, deception, blatant acceptance of evil, cowardness, appeasement that is being shoved in the faces and down the throats of decent Americans whose only desire is to be left alone to live their life the best way they see fit.
I do not like Obama, his Czars, his government, his lifestyle, his wife, his mentors, his causes, his beliefs, his father (whover he is) his mother, – absolutley nothing about him. I can’t stand him. I’m not afraid to say so. So given the choice between a Communist/Muslim/ pathological liar over a man who does not have his spiritual ducks lined up like mine, who at least gives the impression he desires freedom — I would be a fool not to vote for the lesser of these two evils.
Let’s be real, some Christians actually voted for obama in the first place being a Democrat all their life. Now some of them see how miserably wrong they were — and still will sit home on election day because they just will not vote any other way, because, well, my grand daddy voted Democrat and my grand daddy before him. I’m not breaking a family tradition. What ignorance and pride!
And if you are a Christian who voted for him in the first place, what little discernment you have.
Some start trying to rationalize their not voting with stupid arguments such as: well the disciples and Jesus didn’t vote. Of course not! They were under Roman law and they did not have the choice to vote! But does anyone really think that given the choice to choose between the lesser of two evils — one who they knew had it in for them, whose desire was to take away their freedom, and was going to do everything in their power to stop them from spreading the Gospel, throwing them in prison, even killing them, over one whose desire was to let them live in peace and did not want to rule with an iron fist… does one really think they would not have chosen?
Then there are those who say I’m just gonna trust God. Really? How? By sitting home in some ivory tower in hopes that everyone else will vote in the one whom you know in your heart of hearts you would have chosen if you had the guts. By staying home with an attitude God’s will be done, they have made their choice to do nothing to hold back the onslaught of wickedness. They can say they are trusting God until the cows come home, but the truth of the matter is, they are no better than a person you are stuck with in a fox hole. Enemy fire is all around you. He refuses to fight, refuses to take a stand, sitting there just hoping the enemy will go away while you are defending the very place he resides. Such cowardice!
Do you know what is worse than that? Having a third person in the foxhole telling him, “Don’t shoot, we might get killed! Let God take care of it.” May I never be stuck in a foxhole with such a one. I would be tempted to throw you out!
Oh and let us not forget the sovereignty of God right now. Yes, the sovereignty of God. If you believe God is sovereign, you would have to believe God gave America two choices. Whether or not your candidate was chosen or not. Personally, I didn’t like any of the choices. But it is not going to stop me from voting.
How about those Christians during Hitler’s day? I wonder how many of them stayed home and said God’s will be done. They were probably the very same bunch who sat in Church and seeing their Jewish neighbors being hauled off, sang their worship songs all the louder! Shame for such silence! Shame!
So you can stay home if you want. Just remember: if a new leader is elected for President of the United States and the onslaught of our freedoms are halted, you didn’t build that. You didn’t make that happen. Those who marched off to the voting polls made it happen!

I especially loved the line: “Free to say whatever I darn well please without fear of someone knocking on my door and hauling me off to some state run detention center for some creepy psychoanalysis run by a bunch of nazi-like new age communist humanists.”
Oct 11, 2012 @ 15:45:42
It has happened here more than once.
Oct 11, 2012 @ 15:10:40
I hate politics but the facts are we have a hateful muslin president that hates our country eventhough Romney is a morman so what ! he is still a better choice and has family values and knows about the economy something Obama doesnt.I would say simple choice. I dont care if Romney thinks he is being elevated to a god status just fight for my freedom!
Oct 11, 2012 @ 15:43:25
Well, Brother Bobbystuff, I have to say I would care if Romney or any man was elevated to a god status. But I think I know where you are coming from.

Well said, Redeemed Hippie! I agree. It is no accident that each of us has been born in this particular country. We must make wise choices about our lives every single day. Every choice is like a vote, we’re choosing wisely for those people or things in our lives which will have the most positive and least negative effect upon us. As Christians, we hopefully ask our Lord to guide us by His Spirit as we make those choices. We are faced with choices about which person we marry, then which schools and teachers for our children, which doctors for our health and our childrens’ health, what kind of food to eat to keep us healthy, how to be good stewards of our income, and on and on. Every fours years we are free to make our choice of president of our country – WHY then would we become complacent or so holy that we would not vote for the leader of our country, when we have been blessed with that privilege by being born here?

Geri,
to you, sister.

Dear Redeemed Hippie Greetings to you and your family in the name of Jesus I want to say that I thank and praise the Lord for you. We need more and more dedicated men and woman of God who has backbone and who will not compromise with the world, the flesh and the devil. I love going to your site and reading your articles you stand for truth and justice through Christ. I am black and I do not support this President because he is black I stand for who is right for our Country and who is wrong for our Country and our Freedom as we have now. God bless you maybe one day we can meet but if not here on earth we will meet in heaven. In the meantime dont stop speaking out and standing for the truth. I love the fact that you do not allow people to overtake your website you control it in the right manner in which Jesus himself would be proud of. You have integrity and backbone I love it. God bless you we will keep you and your family in our prayers Love in Christ Clarissa

Clarissa, I am glad we have found each other. May you and yours be blessed and may God watch over all of you.

I know we are accountable for who we vote into office,we are just as accountable for who and what we allow to remain in power… I’m voting for the man that actually upholds our Constitution and our God given Rights.. obama-blame-er does not,,fact is obama believes the Constitution is unfair..well of course it is when being read through the eyes indoctrinated with muslim slop .. We know obama requested a do-over after the Oath of Office was mis-quoted..purposely as to excuse obamas do-over [which any American Patriot did not buy] Obama ditched the Bible and I’m thinking he scrub those hands hard before taking the second oath because he didn’t want to lose his right hand .. a muslim can do many things ,they can lie,cheat,steal and kill ,, even kill member of their own family if its for their god allah, but they can not take an oath to defend a Constitution that insults the quran and allah…The Constitution is opposit of the quran.. If obama was really serious about getting the Oath of Office correct he would have corrected it at the time it was mis-quoted cuz you know he KNEW how it was to be quoted… to try and fool the people that he took it over to get it right… not one American Patriot bought it.. Because the Oath of Office it a public profession not a private one ..and who does he think he fooled that he took it over to get it right.. no if he did he would have did it publicly..

redeemed777, Yep. I agree. Too bad more people do not have their eyes opened up to that deceiver.
Oct 29, 2012 @ 12:41:30
I’m glad you guys get to CHOOSE who runs your country. Here in Nigeria,whew! No,siree! what we get is a ‘selection’ already done before the elections and old tired leaders that keep comin’ back.

Jesus Wins, it may come to that here within the next few years!

PLEASE go to YouTube and watch “Illuminati Training Video Leaked”. PLEASE watch it now. Pass it on. Also watch “Wicked Music Industry”. See some of the related videos for both. Be discerning who you share this with. This is satan’s New World Order.
Nov 01, 2012 @ 20:11:52
Monika, I did go and looked at the video. There is another video that debunks it. Thought you might like to know. I do know what the New World Order is about. But we can not let ourselves become overly focused on that, ok?
Nov 07, 2012 @ 03:12:32
Ah, DEBUNKED. A new discernment keyword to add to my notes. Thank you! I am pretty new to the internet and that was the first comment I have ever written. I didn’t know who knew and who didn’t about THEM but I felt it was important. My hands were shaking as I typed it! I found the video I believe you were referring to and read the researcher’s report under it. Thank you for being nice about it. I did feel like a fool! However, from what research I have done (you probably know more), it appears that the information in the training video is true, even if it is not their ACTUAL TRAINING VIDEO.
Nov 07, 2012 @ 15:27:22
Monika, please do not feel like a fool. It is so easy to look at something so well done, and think it must be the God’s honest truth. Yet, who knows? Maybe there is some truth in it.
Nov 07, 2012 @ 04:04:45
(cont, sorry) I understand your wanting to drop that subject. I can think of a few reasons. So, that being said, I found your blog while looking up “Choo Thomas critics” and read this article. Your opinion made sense to me. I also read the next one and all the comments. Beforehand I had no intention of voting. The Mormon thing got in the way. But of course I do not want Obama for our president. Ugh! The lesser of two “evils”….the body of Christ….so I used my two feet and my two hands and I voted! God bless you. And may he keep his angels ’round you to gaurd you. It sounds like you need it. (hauled off for something you said!?! )
