i don't like to talk about politics

i never win the debates (which i hate!) and i profess that there's much i don't know (and honestly don't care to know). but i just have to admit, here, with the safety and somewhat anonymity of the internet that Obama freaks me out. i get a weird uneasy settling in my spirit about him, when i see him, when i hear him, when someone even says his name to the point where i almost get angry.

i can't explain it. i know it's not logical. and i know i can't win a debate using my feelings. but i also know that God gives discernment. i know that too many of my closest friends share this same feeling (without knowing previously of mine). i know that many make voting about the issues and some might even say that character doesn't matter. but i think that's crap. if you can't trust their character then how can you trust their policies and plans to run the government?


in mexico a few years back there was a presidential candidate who had a cult-like following, who professed many socialist-like programs, and who didn't become president (and ppl to this day still cry FRAUD in that election). i like the man that won; i think that though the election could have not been fair, i got that same creepy feeling from the other guy and i'm glad he didn't win. through this, i believe that God can even transcend our poor election choices if we cry out to Him to protect us and choose who is best.

He isn't dependent on us to make the right choice for Him to intercede, to work and move - and politics is no exception. (although i think more ppl voted for the loser of the mexican election, God is not limited and put the one He wanted in that position). so that's my strategy. i will pray. pray for this country to not be blinded by any trickery, deception, and popularity. pray for Him to help us vote well. pray for God to do what will give us most of Him. pray for Him to come back - i'm tired of this place.

ps. i do now have some logical arguments that support and enhance my uneasiness, so if you want to know, i can tell you - but i am not interested in a debate, i will not listen to your opinions more than to my spirit, and i'll delete your comment if it's an attack. be friendly :)
