Ron Paul is the only candidate that is not a compromising "bought and paid for" member of the establishment. Through Jesus Christ, Ron Paul is the only one that has a hope of changing this country. All others will uphold the status quo of tax and spend and compromise.

Mrs. Folger, you have crossed the line between advocating for a candidate, and treating him like the Second Coming. Get real. There are other candidates who would oppose abortion, the "Fairness Doctrine," and government interference in homeschooling. Stop behaving as though we will all die, our houses will burn and we will die, my gracious we're going to die, and try to bring something OTHER than propaganda to the table.--Mrs. Pilgrim

I wonder if this sin;t the same sentiment that was espoused in Christianity in 1942.
After all our job is to preach not protect... right?
George Washington might just have something to say to you about such nonsense.

Before anyone boasts about how they are willing to be imprisoned for thier faith like this, they need to take another look at what happened to Peter.

Amen - kings and kingdoms are God's purview, let us be about being salt and light to those with ears to hear and eyes to see. And we do that every day in the way we live, not in who we support or condemn, not in battles to keep "Christ" in Christmas, not in battles to keep the Word in the world, but in our hearts, lived out in our actions.
Until He comes,

Yes young man you should learn to listern to your elders before expressing your views. Look to the wise older men(and women)who run America today, see how they have made it into a nation that inspires all who look to it, what other country do you know that has so much repect in the world today. How much could other countries learn from these older and therfore wise people. Steve

We cower behind the government and its military industrial complex in fear that some guy dressed like lawrence of Arabis is going to force us all to bow towrds Mecca.
We cringe at the thought of an American version of Jezzabel getting elected and support the other party who only pays lip service to Christian principles but turns out to be the same drug addicted perverts as thier counterparts on the left. Who is more honest? The one who openly claims the right to sin or one who self rightiously decries it in public only to practice it in private? Even within the walls of our own Churches, the vices of the world are little different. We boast of our power but our fruits are the same as those of the unbelievers.

What an excellent article- I wish that it would have used the very words of Martin Niemoller but...I didn't write it! It is a problem in America that we don't follow a Christian worldview- we think we are immune to problems because we are free! But, as our society becomes more and more post-Christian, post-Modern, post-whatever, we have become more partisan, and more willing to support what is wrong- including embracing one party despite who the put in front of us! Clinton would lead us down a sure path towards socialism and persecution, but dare we elect someone like Guiliani or Romney who have consistant records that echo a lesser Hilary? Dare we choose someone who will still lead us down the wrong path, just at a slower pace? Why do we have to choose between the lesser of two evils! I echo great German Theologian (and friend of Niemoller) when I say that I am a Christian first, and secondly a citizen of the United States. I will make sure to elect the person who best exemplifies what the Bible says- not the person who looks pretty or has the "best chance"! I agree with this article when it says that she supports Huckabee- but for the very reason that he is a firm Christian (the debate once again proved that the other night by noting the truth of scripture, pro-life, etc.). He is a man that I can trust because he has principles based on the Bible which he is in line with. I just pray that he has enough support (et tu Pat Robertson, Sam Brownback). Examine Huckabee closely, and hopefully he (or someone else) can lead us forward rather than down a slippery, socialist, one world government filled slope to destruction!

How old was Timothy? Are elders old? I found the remarks of the 20-something year old to be at least thought provoking even if I do not agree with his/her comments. When I cannot read someone's opinion without personal attack, could that be because I might have to consider their opinion, ask questions of my opinion, and possibly seek truth in a matter. The thoughts I had in response to the 20-something year old were: are we like the Jews in Jesus time who prevent people from the Kingdom by our words, actions, doctrines, and traditions? As a teenager, I went to a "christian" school- so much of what I encountered there was a push away from Christ because of what these cultural churchians displayed. They were not salt and light. They were not holy. Most were tares and goats. Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith- not just for your own ticket to heaven but are you being salt and light to those around you, or are you spewing tradtitions and doctrines of men?

The Lord adds to His Church daily. Can Hillary or any candidate cannot squelch Church growth? However, Hillary or some other candidate CAN put an end to this cultural churchianity that is so pitiful and not Christ-centered. This just won't do for those who seek comfort and not ot take up their cross daily. Political activism which masks itself as godly concern shows faith in our ability to make this world into a moral place; not faith in God's sovereignty.

So, CWN should not let 20-year-olds post their thoughts on the basis that they fall into that age category? What if I was to say that CWN shouldn't allow 50-year-olds from Pennsylvania to post. I like that idea. How about you grow up and learn to agree to disagree. Wait, sorry, that's silly. You're right. Everyone younger than you that takes a differing opinion is an idiot. My apologies.

So what's scarier - life under Hilary or life under an "evangelical christian" like this - now he obviously has some great ideas for limiting speech and freedoms. Even christians can get so twisted we don't see the double standards we apply.

So you treasure free speech, but you want a law to protect us from this author? :^))
Obviously, the author is trying to exaggerate to make a point. It's the "slippery slope," "nose in the tent" type of argument. Give 'em and inch, and they'll take a mile, etc... We have to be ever diligent, in big things and in small.
What was the first income tax rate in America - 1/2%, or something like that? I can easily imagine a writer writing a piece such as this, where at some point in the future he has been jailed for not paying his 25% income tax. Of course, he was laughed to scorn for writing such an over-the-wall piece. And yet, where do we find ourselves today? Big changes generally come little by little - Not all at once.
My experience has been that once elected, our dream Presidents are never as good as we thought they would be, and our nightmare Presidents are never as bad as we thought they would be. Nevertheless, they do make changes, and small changes built up over time result in big changes. Hillary will not outlaw Christianity, but something she or any other President does may one day lead to it. Do you think America is immune to what has happened in so many other countries? We are not immune.
By all means, act to support your candidate, but then pray for God to direct the heart of whomever wins the election.
I currently am undecided on whom I will support, if any. I know that God can even use a donkey to fulfill His plans, if He is so inclined. (That was not directed a Democrats. But now that it has occurred to me, I admit I may use it in that way in the future; if I'm not in jail.)
