getting political

OK... i hate talking politics but i'm still fuming.

Last night I sat in a van and listened to a political talk about Obama as the new president...
At one point, Obama was being compared to Hitler. The next moment it was being said that abortion was wrong. However, the next subject discussed was how terrible it will be with Obama because he won't be as decisive when it comes to war. "It will make America weaker." And I'm thinking... so it's ok to shoot people with guns and bombs (not even talking about soldiers shooting soldiers... what about the civilians who get caught in the middle?) but it's not ok to kill babies. It's ok to kill in some situation but not in another. War brings more war--not peace. War teaches that we solve problems by shooting and forcing other people to do things our way.

Concerning the suposed moral decline that will now come due to Obama being pres...
In case anyone was wondering... America... The United States of America is NOT and will never be Israel. This country was never founded on Christian beliefs. It is NOT a Christian nation. It has been chugging away as a nonChristian nation for a couple of centuries now. And moral decline has been a state of being since we left the garden.

Regardless of who the president of the united states of america is, I'm not going to put my hope in him to save me or anyone else from this world.

ok ok ok... i'm done ranting now... I did really well in the van last night... i didn't say anything. I kept my mouth shut in an effort to spare the polish translator guy having to listen.
