This is exactly what I feel. I know some of you feel we are just complaining and want it all to stop. I agree that we don’t need to waste all effort in just complaining, but even here on freerepublic.com, there are those who don’t seem to understand the significance of what just happened to us. I feel there is only one way out. National prayer and repentance. I know you may scoff, but when things get so bad that people call out to God to help, they tend to be a little more willing to look at personal and national sin and ask forgiveness. Tough times can bring out the best in us through repentance. I think that is the only thing that will get God’s attention at this point, as we mouth one thing but live another, nationally. In an interesting and informative article the other day, the Barna survey stated that though 86% say that they believe in God and call themselves Christian, only 7% actually believe and hold to (live) the true tenents of Christianity. We are like Europe in that respect.
I’d like to hope that we can win back more seats in 2010 and 2012, but I doubt that we are hurting enough as a country to rise up and turn it around. And, for those advocating fraud, acting like the democrats, to turn this around...God doesn’t work in that way. We will not succeed.
