I am thoroughly sick and tired of the pretend "christians" who try and coerce others into voting (the way they want you to vote) because it is a "privledge" or "duty" to vote -never mind every candidate is a compromise. This is satan's plan - force people to compromise their faith by voting for "less evil" (which is still evil) They can then try and justify "small sins" over major sin --- maybe they want to justify their being false prophets and justify their false prophecies by comparing that sin with murder???:
I also have the freedom and choice to NOT vote. I am thankful the military does not march me in line to force me to vote a compromise ticket - or tell me who I must vote for. The military protect my freedom to not vote just as they protect the freedom of those who choose to vote.
Driving is a privledge and yet you don't have the false prophets trying to coerce people into getting drivers licenses if they don't want (or need) one. There are LOTS of privledges and the definition of privledge does not mean you have to participate although you can do so if you choose to.
The same false prophet fruitcakes coerced people into voting for bush in 2000 (and 2004) and that led to Israel giving up Gush Katif (Gaza) and the united states trying to force Israel to give up the West Bank and the Golan nor did it lead to the united states embassy in Israel being moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as bush repeatedly promised. What makes them think mccain will be more honest than bush???
I closely read the platform of every presidential candidate in the state where I live and I could not vote for any of them. The closest was Chuck Baldwin but even he failed on a few key issues. Instead of compromising my beliefs and voting for the "least evil" I chose to not vote. G-d is testing those who claim to be His to see if they will compromise their faith to vote for someone. G-d is still on the throne and He will put whichever candidate He chooses into office. Those who vote because they THINK they know who G-d wants in office have compromised the faith they claim to have. They are dominionists - they want the best "christian" (false Christian) in office in spite of G-d's plans to "make things better" in the world.
There are a lot of privledges in the united states and we have the freedom of choice whether or not to partake of those privledges. Nobody has the right to coerce someone into doing anything they are not required to do. Messiah Yeshua did not say we had to participate in wicked governments and by voting a compromise, that is exactly what you are doing.
G-d will not "bless amerika" that was over when after 9/11 bush said he worshiped the same "god" as the muslims, hindus, budhists, etc. and the so-called "christian" leaders present did not object.
In 2000 I believed the same propoganda these false prophets are spewing about voting bush into office over clinton - and as soon as I voted I knew I voted for evil and vowed to G-d to never compromise my faith in politics again. Since 2000, I have chosen to not vote. The false prophets want you to vote for "less evil" because they do not trust that G-d has the power to put into office anyone He choses without their "help" to do so.
The "heros" protect our right to not be forced to vote too.

"The Heroes Who Protect Our Right to Vote"
Right about now, we’re all bone-weary of the most protracted presidential campaign in U.S. history. We’re tired of the pundits. We’re tired of the polls. And we’re especially tired of the insipidly smarmy TV ads. But it’s important that we persevere right up to the lever-pulling conclusion on November 4.
Whether your issue is the economy, underscored endlessly by the yo-yoing global markets and the unprecedented government bailouts of private enterprises, or the War in Iraq, or the precarious balance of sanctions and concessions keeping Middle East unrest to a containable smolder, every American citizen who is legally registered must get out and vote on November 4.
We’ve been taught that voting is a privilege, and it is, but maybe we should also acknowledge it as an homage to our nation’s heroes, those who put their lives on the line so that we would be free to decide the country’s direction every year. (In fact, Election Day could be characterized as the quintessential day of remembrance, rolling Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans’ Day all into one.)
As we prepare for another Election Day, let us think about these heroes and allow their names and faces to scroll through our thoughts, perhaps giving rise to a tear or a knowing smile, and let us be thankful - thankful for what they did and thankful for what they mean to us still. Today, I’m going to share my heroes with you.
I never even met my first two heroes, but their stories were entrenched in my early memories and my appreciation grew as I developed a more mature frame of reference. These were my godfather’s two brothers, both casualties of WWII. One was a Ranger killed at Normandy Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The other was a tail gunner who had completed all his missions by April, 1945, and was slated to return home, except that he volunteered for one more flight—to drop supplies behind enemy lines. His plane was shot down and he was buried somewhere in France, without fanfare. But the white cross marking his grave and those of his fellow defenders whispers a constant testimony through the years, “Remember me, America, and live free; live well.”
My late father also fought on the European front. On a frigid Christmas Eve, 1944, he boarded a troop carrier, the Cheshire, one of two which were to make their way across the English Channel with fresh troops to reinforce our Army in the Battle of the Bulge. On the way, the other carrier, the Leopoldville, was torpedoed by a German U-boat off of Cherbourg, France. Over 800 men died in the crossing, some from the immediate explosion, some from the chaotic rescue attempts, and others when the Leopoldville, originally thought to be salvageable, actually sank as a result of the torpedo damage. Horrific memories would plague the survivors of the crossing for the remainder of their lives.
Fast forward to the turbulent ‘60’s: In October, 1962, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev teamed with his communist buddy Fidel Castro to thumb their noses at young President John F. Kennedy by placing intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Cuba. Fortunately, Khrushchev blinked after several tension-filled days, but at the height of the ordeal, one which many historians believe to be the closest our country has ever come to a nuclear engagement, a young Marine was floating around Cuba on a submarine, never knowing where he was or the gravity of the threat until after the Cuban Missile Crisis had passed. That Marine was my loving husband, Dale.
A short time later, the Navy once again ferried him to another small country, this time in Southeast Asia, where a conflict had arisen between the communists of the North and the people of the South. Although U.S. military leaders initially believed the conflict would be resolved by Christmas, 1963, the ensuing Vietnam War would rage until 1975 at a cost of more than 58,000 American lives, and 2,000 others missing in action. Dale, like many other vets of “Nam,” the ones fortunate enough to come home, continues to struggle with recurring nightmares.
Fast forward again to present day: A young Army lieutenant (my nephew) was leading his platoon into insurgent Iraqi territory in 2003 when he was injured and taken to a treatment facility in Baghdad. The Army planned to transfer him to a hospital in Germany, but the 25-year-old had different ideas. He was worried about his men. It had been an arduous journey, pushing the Bradleys north, and the men relied on one another to keep their equilibrium on the battlefront.
My nephew had no clothing except for his hospital gown, but an empathetic nurse managed to commandeer a pair of trousers and sandals. Thus clad, he left the safety of the hospital and journeyed a perilous 200 miles through enemy territory, walking, hitchhiking and hiding in shadows to return to his platoon. The Army awarded him a purple heart and a bronze star.
These are my special heroes; yours, no doubt, have their own unique stories, but the common thread is that they made it possible for you and me to be born free, in a nation where choices still abound. So think carefully about your choices this election day. Weigh the issues. Weigh the candidates - and ask yourselves if they will further the cause of freedom in the USA. Then pull the lever with pride - and thanksgiving. God bless America and God bless the Doves. Carla
