If you look at the chart, you can see that most people vote along party lines. They are more worried about who has control and less about the character of who they are voting for. I have personally done the same thing. I was so concerned with what may happen that I ignored what has happened.
We live in the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world, and we have watched it go down the toilet, because of the decisions of the republican and democratic parties. We have ignored the Constitution, the purpose for it and have chipped away at the foundation of this country that made it so great.
Now before you judge me as as one of those Constitutional nuts let me first say that the greatest foundation any one person can have is a relationship with Jesus Christ. I also believe that that relationship is grown strong by reading the Bible and reflecting a lifestyle that is found within its pages. When we read the Constitution, we can see the inspiration that the Bible gave it.
What I am concerned with is what our politicians have done to pull the people away from the Constitution. They play games with our emotions, point fingers at each other and do everything they can to stay in power.
The Bible commands us to follow the laws of the land as long as our leaders are not leading us into sin. The problem is we have elected so many people that have created so many laws that it is impossible for us to know them all. We do need to find a way to simplify this system to exercise our free will as God intended.
It is time for us to look at all of the candidates as we enter another election cycle and look at why they each believe the way they do. I think you may find that even though some of their beliefs are controversial, they actually reduce burden off of society and place the burden of responsibility back on the one who needs to make the decision... the individual.
God gave us a free will to make any decision we want, because He wants us to use our free will to love and follow Him. When we legislate morality it produces hard hearts. Hard hearts promote rebellion, rebellion leads to chaos, which causes our legislature to create new laws to start the cycle all over again.
Here is your challenge- look at all of the candidates, their past, their legislative decisions and the reasons why they made them. Don't depend on the mainstream media, talk radio or the opinion pages, make a decision for yourself.
