When Christianity Intersects With Politics

The White House

U.S. politicians continue to court the Christian vote for the upcoming 2012 presidential election. Christians should vote according to the faith and our morals. Just because a candidate says one thing, does not mean he or she will follow through. Look at their lives, track record and history of service. Have the kept the promises they've publicly made? Have they enacted legislation that goes against the values taught in the Bible? If so, they will not fight for what matters most to Christians.

Obama Heads For Hawaii For The Holidays

President Obama landing in Hawaii for his annual Christmas break

U.S. President Barack Obama, landed in Hawaii today, ferried to the island by Air Force One, for his Christmas break. The President commemorated the passage of several legislative bills, proclaiming his first two years in office a success.

However, some beg to differ. The nation has been hit with record government spending, sending the deficit to almost $14 trillion, which is the highest is has ever been. Stimulus job creation money has been wasted, resulting in unproductive debt, with very little employment to show for it.

Obama's health care bill is being pummeled by significant challenges in the court system, as 32 states are challenging its legality and usefulness. The opposition, the Republican Party, have vowed to repeal the bill, which has placed America further in debt and sent up insurance premiums.

President Obama also caved on a $1 trillion dollar spending bill that gives massive tax breaks to the rich, while hitting the deficit where it hurts. The repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" has in another item, which has weakened the U.S. Military, with soldiers vowing to leave the service and generals sternly warning it shall damage unity in the armed forces.

All and all, it is crystal clear, a number of wrong turns have been made in Washington that have cost the American people much in the nation and the world. The fruits of these poor decisions are already showing with the national unemployment rate soaring.

Many businesses have gone under and a record number of homes continue to go into foreclosure, as people have lost their jobs and can't keep up with their mortgages that bear inflated interest rates. The true extent of the government's poor choices shall manifest to much greater degrees in the coming months and years.
