I'm at work now, waiting for my first class of the day, and entertaining the occasional student who drops by to talk, so this post will be brief. But important. Important to me, anyway, because I've gotta get this off my chest.
America. You're bringing me down. I've been lucky enough to have some good friends, people working hard on both sides of this election, and people who firmly believe in candidates from each party. Great. Good. But the way you guys talk about this election makes me seriously ill. Ill enough to where I chose not to vote this time. That's right. I sat this one out.
To my conservative, Christian, Republican-voting friends: Did you seriously think John McCain was gonna accomplish anything for Christ in the next four years? What did George W. Bush get you? Are we any closer to being a Godly nation than we were when Bill Clinton was in office? I like tax breaks as much as the next guy, but God isn't calling our nation to a trickle-down economic model. He's calling us to our knees, and piling up a golly-gojillion dollars in debt is not the way there.
To the blue staters: You guys holler about the McCain campaign being too negative -- and it was -- but be aware of your own words, especially in victory. I read one message from my close Facebook friend that said "I'm so tired of the Republicans calling people dumb. They had their eight crappy years." Do you not see the hypocrisy in that comment?
The deal is, like it or not, this election was between two people who truly wanted what they believed was best for their country. You can disagree, you can say their ideas would have bad results, but what's with all the slinging words like "stupid" and "evil" and "hate" around? Let's save those for when they're truly deserved, like describing the KSU athletic department.
God's in control here, guys, and nothing ever takes Him by surprise.
