Political Ramblings

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 (Current Events, Government, Culture with 1 Comment)

So I suppose I should explain why I backed off from political commentary. I did it because I wanted to distance myself from the elections for a while so I could better keep my promise not to get on a campaign trail and run myself ragged this year like I have the last three. I figured the best way to do that was to take a break from going on and on about them. Still following the news, but not as closely as usual. Well I’ve sufficiently annoyed myself with trying to stay out of it and couldn’t get a topic that’s been on my mind for a while out of my head.

What I’ve noticed every election cycle is that the conservative/evangelical wing comes together to try and elect someone who will over-rule 60 years worth of bad decision making. This simply isn’t practical. It’s not possible for one man, with a four to eight year term to get rid of bureaucracies that have been in place for decades. As voters we are doing two things wrong:

1. We’re placing too much power on one man that he simply doesn’t have. Instead of changing our focus to trying to elect people who will continue our vision instead of punishing ourselves by sitting out an election.
2. We’re forgetting that even the President has to wait to get his agenda through congress and if we’re not electing congressmen in line with our vision continually nothing is going to get done.’

Perhaps if we changed our perspective away from immediate gratification and to carrying a vision through generations, we would be better off.

Legislative Update - Session Terminated.

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 (Government, etc with 7 Comments)

CapitolNo, the General Assembly didn’t get blown up in a low profile terrorist plot to destroy the GA government.

My internship was brought to a sharp end today. No, I wasn’t fired, I was following what I believe to be God’s will.

The last two weeks my family and I have been “under fire” and came to the conclusion last night that alot of it is due to me being out from 6am - 5:30pm on little over 5 hours of sleep.

Needless to say, this along with many other reasons and clues brought about the decision that interning this year simply isn’t going to work.

I loved my time there and enjoyed playing “which committee” and learning my way around the Capitol. I’ll miss watching the GA version of C-span. However, on the bright side, now that I’m at home I can refocus on helping mom get better, Regenerate Our Culture, and studying subjects that I’ve had to put off due to the craziness. Potentially having time to update Politically InCorrect is another benefit of my leave.

That being said, Regenerate Our Culture is launching a new issue tomorrow so be sure to check it out, and come back here for (hopefully) more politically incorrect commentary!

Wait…What Happened to Separation of Church and State?

Thursday, January 11th, 2007 (Current Events, Government with 7 Comments)

*I find it ironic that the liberals and the media constantly hail separation of church and state as a good and natural way of life. Evidently they don’t bother to sit in on legislative sessions or judicial hearings. In each of these settings there is a blatant acknowledgement of God and Jesus Christ. When the Supreme Court and Congress conviene they start the session with prayer. Not to allah, or budah, or mohammed, but to Jesus Christ. Even in my  State’s General Assembly we open up each session with a 15 minute sermon and prayer.

Alot of people now have the mentality that the “Church” should stay out of the affairs of the “State”. However, if we continue to ignore the fact that we are One Nation Under God and were established as such, we will be - as Reagan put it - One Nation Gone Under.

The fact that even the government - at least the State Government - does acknowledge God on a daily basis leaves one to question just how “offensive” it is to be politically incorrect.

 

* Posting during session is by no means going to be frequent. The thoughts posted above are strictly those of the author and not the liberal media or General Assembly’s. *

Final Election Update (10)

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006 (Current Events, Government with 6 Comments)

Last night we went to bed wondering what the final out come would be in the United States Congress. This morning, we woke up with the democrats in control and new Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The Senate has been reported to be in the democrat’s hands as well. Although I believe we are still waiting for the official results.

Defense Secretary Rumsfeld has also resigned today. The Press conference that the President had today was rough as well.

This was a bad day for conservatives, however , it’s not the end of the world…Yet. Just because we lost congress does not mean that we can no longer make a difference. In fact, now more than ever is the time we need to get involved. We also need to remember that the key to changing our Nation lies in 2nd Chronicles 7:14.
