Who Would Jesus Vote For, and why would He vote for them

What is Liberty and Freedom? Seriously, what is it? To some it means being able to do anything that they damned well please without any restriction. To some liberty is to do things that they think does not affect or effect anyone around them.


Liberty is not being able to do anything you want. Liberty is not something that is GIVEN by government. Freedom is not free nor is it cheap nor does it come without responsibility. It is precious. It is valuable and we are losing it.


Liberty and Freedom are given as a gift to us by God Himself. Uh Oh! Rod is going biblical on us now is what you are probably thinking. Rod is one of THOSE people. Weak minded Christian. Well yes I am a Christian. I do not shirk from my beliefs.


I believe that Jesus was the greatest Conservative that ever walked the earth. God gave us laws to live by in the bible that keep us from bondage. If we follow these things, these laws that God has set fourth we don't need extra laws set out by man.


Look around you. You are being “lawed” to death. Every time you turn around, someone wants to pass another law that regulates your behavior. They propose a law that will regulate your thoughts. You think this is not the case.


We have laws on the books called “hate crimes.” What is a hate crime? And if a deadly crime is committed against you or a loved one but you are not one of the protected classes, does that make your life less valuable? In the eyes of the Liberal, yes you are not worth as much.


You have to be black, or at least look black. You have to be gay, Jewish, fat, etc. You just can't be a regular human being. Why do you think some groups try so hard to get their group included in the classes of special protection people? It gives them power over you.


If you stand up and fight against them, they claim hate speech. If you fight against their agenda, they claim you are a hater. If you try and live your life without them, they claim you are a hateful segregationist.


They pass laws to force you to send you children to schools you don't want your kids to go to. They pass laws forcing schools, colleges and businesses to institute quotas. They pass laws that keep qualified people down in order to raise someone less qualified.


They are most likely less qualified because they pass laws that kept their parents from sending them to better public or private schools.


Every time you turn around there is someone who wants to take control of your life. They want to make it harder or impossible for you to home school your own child. They pass laws that keep your pastor, your preacher, your Holy Father from speaking up or out against them. If they do, they lose their tax exempt and non-profit status.


The worst part about all of this is that you and I vote for these people who wish to limit our liberty. We put those people in public office then scream foul when they do what they told us they were going to do. They were going to help us do this or keep others from doing that. Our taxes go up to pay for this and we have to pay a higher fee in order to do that. Yet we go to the polling places election year after election year and vote for the very people we scream about on a daily basis.


God told us about this. He said if we ask for wicked men we will get wicked men. If we ask for evil rulers then we will get evil rulers. We ask for the wicked, we ask for the evil every time we vote for them.


Why do we vote for them? Because they make us FEEL good about ourselves. They tell us that in order to considered a good person you have to FEEL. Forget logic. Forget about God and His laws. Forget that there is order in the universe. Do what you FEEL is the right thing. Even thought what you feel may change next year, it is what you feel right now that counts.


Even if your feelings don't make a lick of sense, go with it. Feel your pain. Feel my pain. Feel the plight of the wronged. Feel the evil of the good. Feel the hate of the logical. Feel, feel, feel. Forget logic.


Forget reason. Forget the Constitution. Forget Gods laws that protect us. Forget your sense of right and wrong. Forget, forget, forget!


Oh no, we have forgotten too much. We have given up too much. We have given over our very lives and now we wonder how do we get our lives back. And when we say we want our lives back, the one we voted for does not want to give it back. They don't want to give up power over our lives.


So what do they do? They give us more laws. They restrict how we can speak out against them. They offer to take care of us by taking over parts of our lives completely (health care). They want us to turn over our children to them so they can educate them. Forget that their education system has been a proven failure for at least the last 50 years.


They believe us to be children, stupid ignorant children. They should know because they educated us in the public schools. They tell us that Hollywood is more important to watch that Washington, DC. They blame Hollywood for giving us programing that glorified violence instead of telling us how bad violence is.


They want to protect us from ourselves by making laws that force us to do things we may not want to do. (Wearing seat belts, no smoking in a bar) They take over our own property by telling us what we can do with that property.


Oh no, we are to blame for our lack of liberty today. We are to blame for our lack of freedom today. Oh no, we cannot blame George W Bush for the Patriot Act. We demanded to be secure. We demanded that we be safe. We demanded that President Bush act to keep us and our children safe.


He gave us what we wanted. And we voted for those who allowed this law to go into affect. Yet we now complain about this law. But do we vote for those who would get rid of this law? No! We vote for the same people who approved his law.


Oh no, we cannot blame Washington, DC for our troubles. Oh no, we cannot blame the politician for our troubles. Oh no, we cannot point a finger at other nations for our troubles. We are our own troubles. Oh yes, we have done this to ourselves.


Oh yes, we have a chance to start changing this evil trend. We have to stop feeling and start thinking again. We have to look at the candidates for all levels of government and ask which ones want to bring back liberty. Which ones want less government in our lives. Which one believes that God has already given us the laws we need to live by. Which one believes that we can take care of ourselves. Which one wants to let me do what I think is best for my life. Which one. Which one?


If you vote for Hillary Clinton, then you are a fool. She does not believe you can do or live without her help.


If you vote for Barack Obama, then you are a fool. No he cannot. No he cannot do a damned thing unless you vote him into office. He will take over your life and you will scream foul at 3 AM.


If you vote for John McCain, then you are a fool. War hero or not. He put into place some laws that limit your liberty your freedom. He trampled on the Constitution by helping to craft and pass a law that takes power away from you and gives it to special interest groups and companies. He did not take the money out of politics, he just made it bigger.


So who do you vote for? I cannot tell you that. You have to THINK logically for yourself this time. You have a brain. God gave us all a brain. Now is the time to use that brain to bring some true law and order and liberty back to our streets. Back to our homes, families and neighborhoods.


Think. Ask. Vote. Be logical. In fact, a saying from the past few years fits for our times right now, although with a bit of a tweak.


Who Would Jesus Vote For?! That person deserves your vote and guess what? You will protect your liberty when you do.


Think. Ask. Vote.
