Thought Quotient

Political liberalism tends to be closely related to humanism…and humanism by definition is Godlessness. When the Democrat party deepens it’s allegience to liberal (sometimes called ‘progressive’) policies, it drives Christians away. Nothing shows this more than yesterday’s election. Bush got the overwhelming support of Christians which most likely can be said is the deciding factor. The final nationwide exit polls showed that voters had ‘moral values’ on the top of their priority list - ahead of terrorism and the economy. (more…)

The View from Copenhagen

Ok, the 2004 Presidential election is over. Time to watch the media scratch their heads and wonder why it turned out the way it did.

Check out this page on MSNBC, and click on the video link embedded into the story called “Analysis of voting patterns” - it’s FREE video highlights from their coverage. On the resulting page that opens, you’ll find plenty more videos to choose from. Note how one is entitled, “What happened?” Looks like the evangelical Christians have confounded their election logic once again.

Some disgusted liberals will say they are fed up and moving to Canada! They seem to never do that though. Maybe this article sheds some light on the reasons why…

No Canada safe haven for Democrats

But statistics show a gradual decline in U.S. citizens coming to work and live in Canada, which has an ailing health care system and relatively high levels of personal taxation.

Wait a minute. Remember when our health care system was a big political issue and liberals were comparing it to the way things ought to be in Canada? However, this CNN story doesn’t make it sound all that appealing. Maybe since that is not up for a vote in Congress here, we can be a little more truthful.

Same-sex marriage bans winning on state ballots

Finally! I hope that the liberals takes note of this! The American people are not as brain-washed as they might assume. With these states standing against homosexual marriage - and quite strongly - it’s hard for the homosexual agenda to advance the illusion that most people think homosexual marriage is okay.

As an aside, many commentators have noted that the exit polls indicate that moral values were the most noted issues about which people were concerned. This should say something to the liberal camp - the American people aren’t buying. The Democratic party (strongly grounded in liberal attitudes and agendas) seems to have been left with two choices:

1. Revise their stand on moral issues - or at least fake it.
2. Support the liberal agenda’s war on morality with the attempt to completely obliterate the concept of morality in the future.

If history serves as evidence, I’m afraid I can make a guess at which they’ll choose.

UPDATE: Legislative System vs. Judicial System

The people have spoken. Now what? If you’re a liberal and you don’t like the outcome…you turn to the courts! It doesn’t hurt to fire up the spin machine again either. From newspaper editorials, to tv commentators, to activists…we already are hearing from them, less than 24 hours after the votes have been counted…

>In passing a ban on gay marriage, Michigan voters endorsed discrimination Tuesday. Only the courts — likely the federal courts — can remedy this unconstitutional action.

>This intolerant action should not stand. The legal fight to overturn it cannot begin too soon.

>The votes will become “a blip in the longer term historic view,” said Karl Olson, executive director of the gay-rights group PRIDE in Montana. “Our constitution isn’t going to be able to sustain this kind of restriction on civil rights.”

>”That certainly is disappointing news that many Kentucky voters would think it’s appropriate to write discrimination into our constitution,” said Beth Wilson of the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky.

>Gay-rights activists intend to press marriage-rights lawsuits in states like California and New Jersey, where they believe the high courts might eventually rule in their favor.

>”God, guns and gays,” said CNN “Crossfire” co-host Paul Begala, in summing up voter sentiment. Begala and the program’s other liberal representative, James Carville, both seemed to concede that the Democratic Party’s open support for equal rights for gay people cost it a significant number of votes.

Kerry concedes, White House aide says

According to CNN, Kerry has conceded and Bush is our re-elected president. It’s been a ragged night for the nation. While certainly not as frustrating as the last presidential election, it has been rigorous. At 3 am I called it quits and retired after hours of monitoring the election process and John Edwards’ short closing speech saying that they would hang in there until “every vote is counted and every vote counts.” Apparently those votes have finally been counted.

I do not think Bush is perfect, but in my humanness I am grateful to God for the results of the election and I believe that there is renewed hope for our country with respect to the moral and spiritual issues for which many Christians have been standing. However, we must realize that the battle for the future of our country starts again today. Let us not sit simply sit back and be content with what we perceive to be a victory… we must continue to speak and stand for God’s truth. We must renew and strengthen those efforts. Four years is a very short time… let’s not waste it.
