Go vote!

If I hear one more person tell me they aren't voting next Tuesday because they "don't like the choices" I'm going to flip out and shove them onto a cargo ship to Albania. They don't like the choices then go somewhere that never gets choices at all! Seriously. One of the greatest gifts that God has given America is the privilege-- and responsibility -- to vote. Remember that first election in Iraq? The one where the people all ran around with purple fingers and were proud of it? America wake up! The fate of our nation is in the hands of the voting public- and if that block of folks stays home and grouses about everything, they are going to hand the nation over to people who don't care about it. ( I think they did that...) God wants people who are doers of the Word, not couch potatoes who gripe. I hear Christians complain about a Mormon candidate- and my answer is so what? This is the very thing that sank us all in the last election: murmuring and backstabbing, complaining and whining. They didn't like John McCain and look what happened: instead of a moderate we got a screaming liberal. Brilliant, people. Way to go. God will one day demand of us an account of our actions. He will want to know why we stayed home and refused to vote when millions of other people on the planet are not allowed that privilege. It must mean that we are not a grateful people, and we don't value that which God has given us. Personally, I don't want to be on that end of the conversation, do you?
