They don't get it, and its disconcerting to watch them struggle to grasp it, and still miss it.

They were toast when they handed the nomination to Kerry. There are millions of Democrat veterans, including millions of Democrat Viet Nam veterans. They would have been loyal to the party had any other candidate run, but how many millions of them either crossed the line for Bush, or simply stayed home and refused to vote?

Three and a half million, maybe?

It was once possible for Christians to find their home in the Democratic Party, certainly it tended to be the natural home for Catholic voters. When the DNC decided to promote gay marriage, and late term abortion, and other moral monstrosities, they made it increasingly difficult for believers to remain. How many believers have left the party in the last couple of decades? How many of them remain but voted Bush?

Three and a half million, maybe?

The hemorrhaging of veterans and believers is self-inflicted. Their inability to see it is a boon to our side.

And now we see this for what it is...

A battle...no, a war...between love and hate.

We've been waiting for this...choose your side and pick up a weapon.

For me...I choose Jesus...and love. I would certainly rather die than live without Him. Yet, now that I have Him, there is no death...

"To ban them is simply to make them more dangerous, because women will seek - whatever we think about it - to control their own situations." Abortion is 100% fatal to half the humans going to the serial killer for a 'cure'. Defending the slaughter of alive unborn children in the name of protecting women is a flawed premise on the face of it, PLUS the fact that society in general has allowed those defending the slaughter to have the greater vocie, women have little moral backdrop within which to decide for life over serial killing. The author loaded the premise to support a specific perspective ... he likes for women to have unfettered (ungodly) access to serial killers.

Nope.It was God.

The Lord works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.

"Equally unexpectedly, those most scared by terrorism actually voted for Kerry."

Meaning that those who favor appeasement of terrorists have more to fear than those who face the threat and fight it.

Wanna bet? Who stirred the hearts of the voters. Also, folks, think of this one as proof of what prayer does.

'The overarching problem Democrats have today is the lack of a clear sense of what the party stands for.'

Here's a tip for the Dems: IF YOU CITE EVERY EXAMPLE OF AMERICA'S FAILURES AND SHORTCOMINGS AS A REASON TO VOTE FOR YOU, PEOPLE WHO HOPE FOR THINGS TO GET BETTER WILL HOPE YOU STAY OUT OF POWER.

Ya know, I think that's what's scaring the Dems so much!

They know it WAS God who won this election!

Thank you Lord and keep us from complacency and deception.

"Nope.It was God."

Amen.

Some bitter editorials about God answering prayers of His people are bound to appear now. Most of them though where before the election, because they know in their hearts that God will answer the prayers of His people, so they try to discourage them!

Lo, for you unbelievers, what do you think the pagan witchcraft crowd that believes in weird supernatural stuff believes? Exactly, and the democratic party is filled with them.

Amen. We need to give God the glory, and thank him for answering our prayers.

PS I guess that is the purpose of this editorial. The previous media editorials couldn't keep Christians from praying. This post election one wants to keep people from giving God the glory.

Prayed long and hard, and it was amazing to see my prayers coming true pretty much the way I prayed for them: No terrorism, no really bad US violence or fraud so massive that it would ruin things, and Kerry conceded rather than force a coup.

Even with the MSM rallying against us, we won.

Even with the fraud, we won.

Even with Hollywood screaming at us, we won.

Even with troubles overseas, we won.

Even with Osama threatening, we won.

And with a massive turnout, too! 9 mil more votes than in 2000, and Bush got 8.3 mil more votes than in 2000...

To God be the glory!
