A Personal Favorite

The Anchoress does it again.
You can be concerned about a path America is taking, but you cannot decide America “deserves†bad things. You can shudder at a million babies being aborted a year, but you also must take heart that there is an energetic faith-based opposition to abortion and euthanasia that is making real inroads into the heart of society. You don’t like the way the country is going, you work to change it and you pray…you do not sit there deciding, “well, I’m upset with the way America’s going, so I think God wants me to sit this election out because the country deserves a few years of pain.â€
It almost sounds like, “I don’t have the candidate I want, so I will spitefully sit it out, and use belief in a just and vengeful God as my excuse and my justification. And boy, after that, America will learn to take my concerns and my votes more seriously! Go get ‘em God!â€
Simply said with a flair which time after time cuts right to the chase.
I have only to add, “thank you.”

I started to make a comment on this post but decided instead to include my thoughts about it in this post.
The Anchoress has it pinned.:-w
You have convinced me. I’m voting democrat all the way. You have reminded what I hate most about people interfering into what I feel are personal decisions that one must make on the path of life.
I never could understand someone sitting out an election (especially one as important as for President) just because they do not like the candidate. Gee, if we did that then better than half the electorate of each side would probably not vote in any election.
Makes no difference your party affiliation or preference, you vote is too important IMHO to let it sit idle.
And yes, sometimes information appears to be interference..I don’t kindle well to that either..must be a bit of that stubborn streak we all have.
