Meanwhile, over at Rapture Ready...
livn4JC

Last night I kept my eyes on the elections results closely, and every time a Dem was recorded as winning another seat, I senced increase dread.

I do not believe this is good for the country, in fact, I believe this will cause a fast downward spiral that will bring us into the rapture. And although I am looking forward with great anticipation to that day, Maranatha, I am not looking forward to the very dark days ahead. The New House Majority Leader is so liberal that I am surprised she doesn't hand the country over to the terrorists on a silver platter. I know that she is ready to hand the economy over with out a second thought. She stated not too long ago that one of the first things the House would do would be to seek to repeal the Bush Tax Cuts. That would be devistating for the Middle Class. The Tax Cuts are one of the few good things that have happened economically in the last 6 years. She wants to bring back the Marriage penalty, and to reduce by half the child tax credit. That would cut by more than half of most of the tax cuts the Middle Class have gained in our country. I know that it would very much devistate my family. She also wants to be extreemly liberal on immigration, she wants to fully implement the 9-11 commissions recommendations (and repealing the tax cuts is how she plans on funding it). She is very liberal with spending, and my pockets aren't deep enough for her tastes.

I will be watching everything very very very closely from now on! I feel like Goldie Hawn did in that movie she did where she was recruited by the state department. Remember when she said that she was "we the people" and that she was going to be watching every one of them? Well, I will be, and I will not hold silent. I will voice my opinions loud, even if I have to email, write, phone, etc etc etc etc..... every week, every day, to make sure that those in Congress know that I am watching and that I will not be made silent.

As for the Senate..... I can not believe my own Home State of VA.... To elect Jim Webb is outragious. He has written some very sick sick sick stuff in his novels. He degrades women, he degrades children, he has written very perverted sex acts, including homosexuality and utter sadistic things to women. No, I have not read the entire novels he has written, but I have read excerts from them. I will be watching him very carefully.

I will pray nightly, for the Presidents guidance, and for Gods hand to be placed in our leaders hearts. I am sore afraid that now that the Dem's are in office that the economy will take a downslide and that our countries morality and values will become sorely lacking. I am afraid that our countries support for Gods children will fade and that his favor with it.

Pray, and watch, and make sure that they know we are watching.

Well regardless I do welcome gridlock, least they are less likley to hurt me in the pocket book. But here is the deal the left wing of the democratic party in in control and they have been waiting for a chance to impeach Bush as payback as they are so blinded by rage and hatred of him over 2000 and 2004.Also remember another point it will be much easier for terrorists now to do there dirty work as Bush will be hamstrung by Congress.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I vote values first as well as party platform. Which politician and party that supports my values. Sweep away the smoke and mirrors and what they do rather than what they say as well as party platform is what you'll see.

PS I usually vote Republican but would've voted for Lieberman for example. There are others.

God is in control of ALL that is taking place and I am sure it falls into the future plans he has in store........................alot of the people elected (my opinion) are in place now because there morals are not the best. Come Quickly Lord Jesus!

I am real shocked that Claire McCaskill won even with her scandals. She got most of her votes from St.Louis City ( I am not surprised by that part though ). It looked like Talent was going to win up til the very end until the St.Louis votes were counted. I am also deeply saddened that the Amendment 2 passed (stem cell). One good thing though is that more Republicans won the state senate and the U.S. House. It was very close. Missouri is divided. I thank God that the county I live in is moral. As far as St.Louis City, very godless imo.

Jesus is coming. Jesus is coming...Come Lord Jesus COME !!! Maranatha.

13. Jesus.. can you help those folks with their spelling?
Scary, scary, people. They're mentally ill. I mean that seriously, without an ounce of flippancy. The first one is my fave, though. She/he sound like their talking morality, but oddly enough... it keeps returning to TAX CUTS. The tax cuts did jack shit for the middle class. And about Webb's books, have those folks read the bible lately? Scares the shit out of me to know that there are people that insane wandering around posing as ordinary citizens.


Hey, you can be any religion you want... but that is just crazy shit.

19. I am actively involved in our church...
...and I lead a Bible study.

I can tell you this.

These people are not healthy. They seem very delusional. Somewhere, along the line, these
people went off the deep end, and they took their religion with them.

So sad. A bunch of blind lemmings, sitting around waiting for the rapture. Maybe, while
they're waiting, they could open their eyes and take a good look around.

Their fearless leader, who has USED them by prostituting their votes, has lied us into
war and is killing tens of thousands of people. Their fearless leader cares not about
the poor and the needy. In fact, those people are made sport of and positioned as "lazy".
Their leader ignored starving and dying people during Katrina and kow tows to billionaires,
while ignoring the needs of poor children and those who do not own yachts.

This person talks about the "tax cuts" being rolled back and says this will hurt the middle
class. Excuse me...exactly what "tax cuts" were bestowed upon the middle class? We all got
checks for a few hundred dollars. However, our property taxes went up because the Federal
government cut dollars that fund basic city/state services. The upper crust got the tax
cuts. Not the middle class. This woman doesn't know what she is saying.

I'm pretty sure that Jesus would want her to open her eyes--and to start living and helping
out in THIS WORLD, instead of selfishly wringing her hands and fearmongering as she waits for
the rapture mobile to park in her driveway.

56. Not enough attention is paid to the fact that
a large part of the Christian Conservative movement comes out of that offshoot of hippiedom, the "Jesus Freaks".

I along with many others thought that the irrational streak in the counterculture (including, but by no means exclusively including, the Jesus Freaks) was dangerous, and not truly of the left, then. Unfortunately time proved us right.

(Mind you I don't think religion is irrational -- I'm no atheist -- but I think a certain species of emotionalism that passes for religion is irrational).

According to my fundie uncle, before anything bad happens, the "Church" is going to be "Raptured" (well, they call it the Rapture, I'm sure God calls it "the first cut").
