I'm so glad elections only come every four years. That means I only have to get angry at Christians sporadically. [Note: Untrue. Christians generally anger me at least once a day.] Four years ago, I lamented the bride's voting record, and predicted certain defeat. Was glad for the victory.
Tonight's predicament is far more dire. At least that was a coin toss four years ago. This is going to be a massacre. And tomorrow all the people who are Democrats first and Christians second will jump for joy. Please don't try and rationalize it, goats. Everyone makes bad decisions. Some of us just try not to do it on election day.

I was deeply grieved by the conclusion of the election season, and the choice by so many to embrace a president-elect who openly sanctions partial-birth abortion. I don't care what social, economic or foreign policy positions you take, I don't see how anyone who knows and loves God at all can vote for a candidate who is pro-death (oh, sorry, 'pro-choice' is the politically-correct label).
For some reason I wasn't so angry, but rather saddened by the spiritual ignorance that seems to abound, both in and outside the Church. People (at least as far as they vote) just don't seem to care about the things of God anymore, and so we reap what was promised in Romans 1:
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless -- what an accurate indictment of our country! And so, we have a president-elect who will work hard to enact pro-death laws and appoint judges who will interpret the law so that babies can continue to be murdered.
