It Just Doesn't Matter

As I sit here on the final weekend before Election Day 2004, I find one thought predominant: The path of the United States and the Federal Government will not significantly change, regardless if George Bush or John Kerry win the election. (I can here my Christian brothers and sisters shouting 'Blasphemy!' as they read this.) I know, I know...John Kerry supports every extreme leftist agenda that comes along. (I'm not sure he actually believes it; I think he just feels these positions will get him the most votes. If he felt conservatism was the way to win, he'd be right of Rush Limbaugh tomorrow.)

George Bush is by no measure a conservative; he and Kerry are different sides of the same coin: global-socialists, dedicated to the increased power of the state (state being national and supra-national government).

Either way, you will see the following: an increase in the size, scope and budget of the Federal Government, including but not limited to new and more departments, more spending, more mandates and more control; continued loss of states rights; continued loss of civil liberties in the name of 'security'; increased powers given to the UN and other supra-national bodies.

I frequently hear my fellow Christians talk about upholding the principles of the Founding Fathers; that alone should disqualify George Bush from getting their vote. The Founding Fathers were dedicated to the principles of freedom and personal liberty. These principles were set forth for all to see and know in the Constitution of the United States. I challenge you to go ahead and read it, and then tell me you think the policies of Bush follow these principles.

If Christians were serious about upholding the original vision for this country, they would be voting Libertarian Party or Constitution Party. I don't want to hear about wasted votes; that's stupid. We are to vote our principles and convictions, not worry about who may or may not win. How much sense does it make to vote for the winner if he is going to wind up enslaving you?? (You going to feel better when taxes go up because at least you voted for the winner?)
See my post of a week ago, for more on the globalist / statist positions of Bush

"But George Bush is a Christian. We need a man of God in the White House".
Oh really? GOD said, you will know them (believers) by their fruit...let's look at some of George's "fruit".
As Christians, are we not commanded to obey civil laws, when they are not in conflict with the Word of GOD? Well, the law that regulates the President is the Constitution. Bush violates this every day. That makes him a law-breaker.

Bush has just come out in favor of civil unions for homosexuals. How does that make you feel?

He refuses to make a pro-life position mandatory for any judge he nominates to any position; does that make you happy? (by the way...the Constitution Party presidential nominee has come up with a viable plan to outlaw abortion on his FIRST DAY in office!)

Bush made the statement that "Christians and Muslims worship the same GOD". Is there any Bible-believer that would dare say that? GOD refers to Himself by a number of names in the Bible, NONE of which are Allah. Many would argue that this was said for political expediency. Christians put GOD above politics, not visa versa.

Have you ever heard Bush say "Jesus" or "born again" in public? I haven't. "Jesus is Lord" and "Jesus is raised from the dead" is what makes us Christians. Bush uses vague terms like God, faith, prayer, Higher Power in an obscure manner. Faith in what? Prayer to whom? These words are used by people of many different religions. (Satanists refer to Lucifer as god and lord!). It is because Christians assume and project their own definitions onto these words that they feel George Bush is one of them. (Before you have a hissy-fit and start screaming that I'm 'judging' Bush, forget it...that's GOD's job. I'm just making observations and connecting dots that you have willfully ignored.)

No, it just doesn't matter. Bush or Kerry will just continue to take us down the yellow brick road to global socialist government. To save and restore American, we need to restore personal freedom as envisioned by our Founding Fathers. As for me, I'll be voting FOR something this year (as I have done for the past 3 presidential elections); I'm voting for liberty and freedom. Won't you join me?

I am at a loss for words. In an amazing coinsidence, today Vox Day posts this opinion piece in his weekly WND.com column!
I don't know Vox personally and have no contact with him. (could it be the Holy Spirit?)
Great minds of freedom think alike!
