This information on the Baldwin candidacy is incredible
Posted on Tue Oct 28, 2008 at Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 by HarryNelsonI will get into specifics later, but Christians should use their minds, as well as their hearts. A 7th grader could see that many of the points made in the post about Baldwin are constitutionally impossible.
The scariest part of the post follows:
I will use the constitutional power of the Presidency to deny funds to protect abortion clinics. Either way, legalized abortion ends when I take office. “
What do Baldwin and his followers mean by this? What does he mean “deny funds to protect abortion clinics? Does that mean it is OK to commit violence with no police reprisal? How Christian is that?
This seems to go way over the line from a passioned opposition to abortion, which is reasonable, all the way to an unhinged, ignorant view of the political landscape, and some very basic facts about the functioning of our constitution and government. Very odd from the candidate of the Constitution Party.
An election is a choice. Choices that Christians face require Christian stewardship. Christian stewardship demands prayerful and thoughtful decision-making. If a Christian takes the time to become informed about our government and the candidates, they will quickly realize that a vote for Baldwin is very poor stewardship.
Interesting
Posted on at Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 by Christian HicksThis is an interesting email I received. I don’t agree with it but I thought I’d post it so everyone could see it.
Below is an article with some facts about John McCain. Please make every effort to read it.
I recently heard that an estimated %90 of the church is voting for John McCain. Don’t know where that came from, but if it’s true, it tells me some things. It tells me that the people of God are overwhelmingly uninformed as to who John McCain is, that they’ve been misinformed by spineless, pragmatic Christian leaders, that they trust Rush Limbaugh over God Almighty, or that they are scared silly about Obama and are supporting the person who will do them a little less damage. In all cases, how unfortunate. What about future generations, what about our children and the sovereignty of this nation? When will we begin to vote, no matter what the odds, for a person who will take radical steps to turn this nation back to God? All of us know that this person is not John McCain, so why are we voting for him? Why are we so scared about abandoning the republican party when it has abandoned us already. Take hold of the reins America, this is a democracy, vote righteously.
Does anyone know who John McCain is other than the only choice we have besides Obama? Brothers and sisters, it matters who this man is, and it matters to God who you place your stamp of approval on. It doesn’t matter however that Palin is his running mate. Even if Reagan was his running mate, it still wouldn’t matter. McCain is a maverick, remember? He will be calling the shots, he is the president, he will lead. Juan McCain will grant amnesty to illegals. He is for the murdering of children who were conceived in unfortunate circumstances. He approves of the use of embryonic stem cells for research. He has no real desire to actually overturn the murderous Roe v. Wade curse on America. He is not a conservative, though he is successfully being painted as such. John McCain is a globalist, who will continue the ridiculous entangling of American affairs with those of the world, eventually bringing to an end the sovereignty of America on this earth. The Democrats are right about one thing, John McCain is more of the same. In fact, he could be a worse president to America than was George W. Bush. When will we stop settling for 2nd best? The church must realize that the GOP is not an equal substitute for GOD. It no longer has God’s Word nor the Constitution as it’s foundational sources of governing this nation.
Get Obama out of your mind, only think about God’s Word, your vote, and the person you’re planning to vote for. For this is all that matters in God’s economy; His Word knows nothing of pragmatism and worldly justification, only principle and heavenly wisdom. He is sovereign, and He’s waiting to see where you stand. Any Christian who votes McCain after looking dutifully at the entire platform of McCain in light of scripture will walk away from the polls with a serious conflict of conscience and imminent regret. Want to be free from that? Vote for a man who can say these things with authority, Chuck Baldwin.
“I will use the bully pulpit of the Presidency to demand that Congress enact Dr. Ron Paul’s Sanctity of Life Act which would set forth that every unborn child is a ‘person’ under the Constitution., entitled to equal protection of the law and therefore, no unborn child could be killed without due process of the law.” (When’s the last time you heard a presidential candidate say that?)
“Under my administration, we could end legal abortion in a matter of days, not decades. And if Congress refuses to pass Dr. Paul’s bill, I will use the constitutional power of the Presidency to deny funds to protect abortion clinics. Either way, legalized abortion ends when I take office. “
“I strongly oppose American participation in any form of world government organization, including any world court….. American troops must serve only under American commanders, and as long as I am President American forces will never serve under the flag of the United Nations or any foreign country. “
“We will stop this international meddling…this international empire building. When Chuck Baldwin is sworn in as President of these United States the ‘New World Order’ comes crashing down!”
“A Chuck Baldwin Presidency would signal the end to the stranglehold that the modern day moneychangers have over our economy and provide the opportunity for a rebirth of the American dream. “
“The globalists, with their ideas of a common currency here in the United State with a North American Union and a NAFTA Superhighway are after our sovereignty, our freedom and our national independence.”
“President Reagan said, ‘A nation without borders is no nation at all.’ He was right, of course, and now the globalists are seeking to erase our borders and merge the United States into a North American Union with Canada and Mexico that would be the end of the United States as a sovereign nation and would be a stepping stone toward the merger of the United States into a World Government dominated by the United Nations.”

My friend John sent me the article below, please read and consider the man that quite possibly 90% of God’s church is approving. This e-mail is my last, loving appeal from me to you to cast a righteous vote motivated by your fear of God and future hope for America, and not a pragmatic vote motivated by your fear of man.
“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” — John Quincy Adams
What it’s all about
Posted on Tue Oct 21, 2008 at Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 by Clara NelsonI was reading “Oh waiter! One order of crow!” yesterday, a book by Jeff Greenfield about the 2000 election, and he said something that struck me, it sounded so much like this year’s election.
“Whether consciously or not, they [the Bush campaign] were resting their hopes for Bush on a conviction that the first impression he offered-a steady, reliable, centered but not self-centered man- would carry them through and that voters would decide based on who they wanted the next president to be. Just as surely, the Gore partisans believed that if voter went to the polls thinking about what they wanted the next president to do, they would decide this pleasant young man from Texas was simply not up to the tasks they wanted accomplished”
This sounds a lot like this year’s election. if the people vote based on who they want to be president, they will choose Barack Obama, if they vote on what they want the president to do, then they will choose John McCain. Unfortunately, the voters decided based on who they wanted the president to be in the 2000 election. Most likely, that will not change. The only way for John McCain to win is if the voters decide they want a president who has experience instead of one who is merely pleasant.

Finally
Posted on Wed Oct 15, 2008 at Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 by Christian HicksI’m so happy this thing is over. That was painful to watch.

I’m watching this several minutes behind everyone else…we’re watching it at my aunts house and we’re about 15 minutes behind.
McCain is missing a lot of opportunities. My dad keeps on getting up and walking in circles calling McCain an idiot under his breath. I hope he can step up with the aggression before this ends.
