King of the Republic

It is said that the king of the republic is the people. That is how our founders envisioned this nation and the government they crafted together to work.

Ben Franklin famously answered the question of what type of government the founders had established,

 "A republic, if you can keep it."

This post piggy backs on my previous post of personal responsibility and voting. I stated that it may not be the most important way we can change our country, but it is a way we can guide our country. I listened to an interview with a talk show host and the author of, "How do you kill 11 million people." The authors name is Andy Andrews and his interview was riveting. The conclusion in his book was that the Nazi's overtook Germany with less than 10% of the vote and dragged all of Europe and even the rest of the world into hell because 10% of the population were energized.

Hitler was elected with only 17 million votes out of a possible 85 million people who could have voted in that election, but many people were apathetic and didn't care. They got complacent. Andy Andrews agrees with me (or I with him?) that our country is full of apathetic people, mainly Christians, who decide that voting isn't important. 

Well if the king of the republic is the people and the majority of energized people are Christians (only takes 10%), conceivably what better way for a Christian to impact their country by helping put Christ as king. If we the Christian voters would let our lives be examples and lay down our life and be a representative of Christ and let him work through us, Jesus Christ would be the king of the country.

Chew on it and hope it smacks you awake. Voting is important and as a Christian you have a duty to represent Christ for those around you including your country.

Put Christ back at the center of our country by making him the center of your life and then GO VOTE!

How Write in Canidates May Save Our Country

I believe strongly in voting the right person for the job. I believe in principles and I believe in people voting by their principles.

I also believe the American people have been fooled into feeling like they have to vote for the republican or democrat nominee, this is not true.

I believe now more than ever people who do not care for you or me are pushing particular candidates to the

A No Vote is a Joke

  I hear some people say,

"I don't like any of the candidates so I'm not going to vote."

Not voting relinquishes your right to complain about what is going on in your country. If you don't have the effort to get out and vote for your president then if your freedoms go away, if you taxes go up, if socialism or communism finishes taking it's hold, you will have no one to blame, but yourself.

What I'm not saying is that you have to vote for the "D" or the "R." Write in a candidate or vote for a third party such as the Libertarian, but don't let your right to have a say in your country be wasted.

Christians should know

I believe Christians, being the light of the world, should have the answers and the solutions to what is right and what is wrong.

When the world is turning upside down and evil is being called good and good is being called evil we as Christians should be able to say, "this is right/or this is wrong."

Christians should vote and care

I am a Christian and I am proud of it. I am also a very strong conservative constitutionalist. These are not in spite of each other. I believe that by being a "true" believer in Jesus Christ that I am compelled to be a conservative.

I believe that as a Christian I am suppose to fight for the oppressed, take care of the poor, be a good steward, fight for weak, love my neighbor and etc.

Not Voting for the Lesser of Two Evils

This blog was originally inspired by the last presidential election.

Once the GOP canidate (McCain) was nominated the republican canidate I soon realized that the republicans had chosen possibly the worst canidate available.
