I hate Politics. I love freedom, and I also love freedom of speech, and everyone's right to vote. I always vote, and as long as I have breath and the privilege of voting, I most certainly will vote. I am very conservative, and I have watched over the years as our country has become a "gimme" source. Mr Obama was voted in because many people thought he would give them the things they want from the government. Not the right to be self supporting, and fiscally conservative; but the "right" to have handouts, to "have a law" governing every conceivable choice people might make. The Prophet Joseph Smith said (paraphrased) "I teach people correct principles and they govern themselves". That is how it should be, we should be able to make good choices, and live with our neighbors, and follow the laws that govern moral behavior. Now we are going to be unable to make our individual choices about Health care, when did that become the government's job? There are a multitude of laws that have eroded our personal freedoms, and I fear for our country in the coming years. I do not fear for myself, I know the Lord watches over me and my family, but I do wonder where all this erosion will leave our beautiful country. I see great evil on all sides, what will happen as we, as a nation, try to set aside the God who said this is a chosen land, and when the people choose evil, there will be repercussions....from God, directly. We may think the elements run themselves, but it is not so, the Lord is the one in charge, and His presence will be felt, has been felt, is being felt everywhere on earth.
I would like to see everyone who is able to step up and vote. I wonder if there would be a change in the direction our country is now taking. I would hope so! I fervently pray that it will BE so, but I have a heavy heart to think that Mr Obama might be voted in again, and then the toboggan our country is on will go down very fast indeed! I urge you to vote, every single vote does count. The only majorities are made up of many single votes....there isn't any other way! And pray, pray for our Country.
