Willie, I give up. You only quote those parts that seem to agree with your sick outlook. God raises up leaders, or did you miss that part. If I do get elected to this postioin it won't be for the money because there isn't any, it is an unpaid position. I would be doing so to preserve the Christian basis of our country and our education system, both of which are sadly lacking because Christians don't do their duty to God and country by standing up for His word in this world. You are the servant from the parable who went and buried his talant in order to not lose it. I am one who will invest my God given talent to further His work in the here and now. I have no intention of conforming to the world but to conform the world to God's plan, or at least try to, rather than stick my head in the sand and hope for the best. I offer solutions, you offer misinterpretations of God's word.

Willie, I will try one more time and then give up on you if this doesn't do it. We can serve God by preserving what He established. If your answer is to surrender to evil then you haven't read your bible very clearly. You still haven't presented any ideas to solve the problems. You seem to be happy to criticize my solutions without offering any of your own. If all you can do is be critical then you aren't serving God or man.

Willie, either you didn't read the entire article or you didn't understand it. It up to We the People to be more informed, more involved, and more courageous. Others seemed to understand it just fine. I thought I defined the problems and then gave solutions to the problems.  Prayer is part of the solution, not some "holistic" approach. If you have a better idea then spit it out instead of criticizing.

Ind 1000 & Joe, thank you for taking time to read and understand the issue here. My goal in writing the thinks I do is to reach the majority with the importance of TODAY.  We can't wait any longer, and it may already be too late but I am not ready to concede that yet. I have filed for a school board position to try and make a difference at that level. It is imperative that we get people to understand the danger. As far as comon sense goes that is true. This isn't rocket science and I fail to understand how people can't see what is happening. I believe that most don't want to know, as I stated, the "ignore it and it will go away" syndrome.

You are totally correct that both parties are to blame and therefore there should be "No Parties" just people running on their word or we vote them out.

That is only problem number one though because another even more deadly party to the middle and lower class Americans is the "big money/lobbyists" party.

I know I'm ready but history will show you over and over again that the majority won't be ready until it is way too late.

This is where the focus needs to be.  How do we reach the majority and gear them up enough to make "real, necessary change" happen sooner rather than later.
