I'm Ticked

Our church has being doing a series called "Politicked" and I have to admit I am a little ticked. I haven't commented much during this political season and it is really because I don't know where to start.

All of this desire for "change" has clouded people's vision and they seem to forget that change is only good when it is positive change. For example, the Cowboys changed quarterbacks this past weekend and that wasn't a very positive experience.

Now, my political leanings are no mystery so it shouldn't be surprised that I am not a supporter of Senator Obama. But, the reason many are supporting Senator Obama is disturbing. Here is a list that I found of some of the reasons:

1. It will be historical.
2. He's smart. (Is he really?)
3. We can relate to him.
4. The Republican Party
5. The campaign he has run
6. He's a good speaker.

These are just a few but I never hear people talk about his character, his ability to lead or how his life experiences have prepared him to run the country. Plus, no body really seems to want to talk about his socialist policies of wealth redistribution. And when "Joe the Plumber" called him on it, the left leaning media did everything the could to attack Joe but they never really addressed the answer Obama gave to the question.

I think everyone has become blinded by this desire for change and I fear we may be heading down a path that could radically change our country into something we never intended.
