Everyone calm down (anti-vanity vanity)

[Windflier]

I AM TRYING TO STRANGLE MY TV SET, AND IT WON'T STOP SAYING THAT OBAMA IS GOING TO WIN!

LMAO!

Reminds me of that tagline some Freeper had that said,

"Throwing another bullet riddled TV on the pile out back."

Just turn the darn thing off, or do like some Freepers, and clam down.

No matter what happens next Tuesday, whether we elect an outright Socialist dictator like Obama or our own Socialist-lite dictator McCain. We'll certainly be armed to the teeth with our riotous and thought-provoking 'Caption This', Fashion-Sense and Hollywood ga-ga threads. What other way would be a satisfactory vehicle in which to propel the once mighty and invincible ***cough***-***cough***(ahem!) conservative movement ***cough***-***cough*** into the next election cycle.

I have an advantage on the rest of you folks, my 55 inch Mitsubishi died and I decided to wait until after Christmas to get another. Needless to say I also shut off cable so I only have the local channels.

Freedom from the frantic blather has been a Godsend, in more ways than one.

A Prayer for our Nation as we Prepare to Elect our Leaders

For nine days, from October 27 to Election Day (November 4), Priests for Life calls upon believers to participate in the “Election Novena” by saying the following prayer each day:

O God, we acknowledge you today as Lord,
Not only of individuals, but of nations and governments.

We thank you for the privilege
Of being able to organize ourselves politically
And of knowing that political loyalty
Does not have to mean disloyalty to you.

We thank you for your law,
Which our Founding Fathers acknowledged
And recognized as higher than any human law.

We thank you for the opportunity that this election year puts before us,
To exercise our solemn duty not only to vote,
But to influence countless others to vote,
And to vote correctly.

Lord, we pray that your people may be awakened.
Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation,
Their response to you requires that they be politically active.

Awaken your people to know that they are not called to be a sect fleeing the world
But rather a community of faith renewing the world.

Awaken them that the same hands lifted up to you in prayer
Are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth;
That the same eyes that read your Word
Are the eyes that read the names on the ballot,
And that they do not cease to be Christians
When they enter the voting booth.

Awaken your people to a commitment to justice
To the sanctity of marriage and the family,
To the dignity of each individual human life,
And to the truth that human rights begin when human lives begin,
And not one moment later.

Lord, we rejoice today
That we are citizens of your kingdom.

May that make us all the more committed
To being faithful citizens on earth.

We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
