My Faith Vote Nov 8th will be for God, American-Constitution & Us

November 8^th, 2016 we will have to use someone else’s name as our Leader. Mr. Obama’s Presidential term is up according to the U.S. Constitution and so we vote for a new President, for Federal, State & municipal leaders as well as a myriad of regional amendments and referendums. Each of these votes requires us to be well-informed, well-prepared, unbiased participator in the electoral process. If you declare: My vote won’t matter or I don’t like any of them! Let me remind you - it’s got nothing to do with your feelings – it’s got everything to do with being in a free democratic country which requires the arduous chore of casting your informed vote (your voice & your stand) again and again for those things which have earned your faith (and trust) because of their track record. In other words, we have the right to judge (not condemn) people according to their works or their time in office and in fact we should do so because we will be in turn judged by our works for no one is perfect & many times we miss the mark to do things God's way (Ezekiel 33:13, Romans 3:10; Matthew 7).

Silence or neutrality (not voting/speaking/standing up to) is the same as voting to raise the white flag, surrender & being conquered by the “dominant” party’s vision for this country or any entity that requires the majority vote in order to win. There have been many instances where silence was interpreted as "approval" and it did not garner the result they were looking for [1]. Moliere was correct in stating that our choices to or not to cast our vote - we are still responsible for them and if you know your Bible it says that everything is recorded in the Heavenly scrolls until it is time to give an account to the Righteous Judge (Numbers 35:12, Daniel 6:2, Proverbs 22:29, Matthew 12:36, Romans 14:12 & 1 Peter 4:5, Revelation 20:12 in Biblegateway or Biblehub).

[1] One of my family members became an instrument of suffering and death. The Nazi didn't care much for the Netherlands' Declaration of Neutrality (& deceived them that neutrality was an option). The country was quickly conquered & the Dutch turned out had the highest level of cooperation with the Nazis than any other occupied European country – 75% of the Dutch Jewish population lost their lives to political correctness/collaboration. Anne Frank and her family thought they had escaped the anti-semitism in Germany, her famous diaries survived to tell the story of terrorism perpetrated by a totalitarian government that blamed others for their problems and misfortune. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_in_World_War_II

The American Constitution of 1776 made it possible for many different types of people to do extra-ordinary things in this country and the world that were not based on the color of their skin or their gender but it was based on their track record. Consider also that the Constitution was founded on God's Word so automatically those righteous morals & virtues became the staging ground for education in character & godly characteristics. Those characteristics and the Lord's divine blessings were what made America great. For many years she was considered America The Great Land!

Since having lived here I have seen America become the poster child for immaturity & excesses which enslaves people’s minds & bodily lusts and in turn leads to feeling entitled to push the “easy button” for on-demand feel-good & welfare programs (God forbid we should ever feel uncomfortable - discomfort is the primary mechanism of prodding us humans to try & make changes). These progressive programs are forced through by deception or strong-arm tactics which are based on outlandish dreams & nefarious schemes to make their Promised Land come true [2] .

I like word pictures so I just saw one the other day that put it all into perspective for me anyway. It was the movie with actor Matthew McConaughey called: U 571. This fictious story of a young naval officer had the dream to be the best Sea Captain he could possibly be. Even though he was well liked by the crew & superiors he was thwarted in his efforts because he had some lacking characteristics & until his track record showed it they could not let him advance & attain his dream. His lacking characteristics: admit mistakes, ask forgiveness, take disciplined control of the ship to accomplish the mission. To save the ship and successfully complete the mission sometimes requires us to forfeit our own happiness to do the right things: friends, family, life, limbs, position, opinions etc. The Constitution is like the natural and legal law that steers our ship called America - we the people need to put a President and Cabinet in charge that loves America and will want to make her great again. The Ship - The Mission Comes first and we need a captain whose track record shows they did the right things to accomplish that mission!

[2] The Clinton's and Barack Obama in their 30+ yrs of leadership have had 100's of legal actions against them about their private & public misconduct (http://www.judicialwatch.org & www.freedomwatch.org etc.) - it is absolutely unbelievable how they've managed to "white-wash it" and their stage show is almost as good as the Hollywood movies & the virtual reality stuff we get fed daily. "Obama’s America" & "Hillary’s America" & "America" books lays out the culture of deception that been active in our White House – Dinesh D’Souza; Crisis of Character Book by Gary Byrne (former Presidential Secret Service Officer for Bill Clinton & his many affairs); Mugged by Ann Coulter & many other authors have done years of research on the agenda of the Progressive Campaigns. Also read my hubpages articles on many of these books.

"If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Psalm 11:3 If the foundations are destroyed, there’s something the righteous can do. For the sake of God, for the sake of the country: VOTE. Carter Conlon http://itstimetopray.org/radio-devotionals/vote/

Proverbs 2: 9-12;

⁹ Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,
and you will find the right way to go.
¹⁰ For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will fill you with joy.
¹¹ Wise choices will watch over you.
Understanding will keep you safe.

¹² Wisdom will save you from evil people,
from those whose words are twisted.

I know we might feel like the O.T. Israelites who were faced with a watery or fiery death ahead of us and raving weapon-wielding, slandering, fire-breathing king’s men behind us, but God showed up then – He will again if we keep the faith! So this November 8^th election season I plead with all who have faith in the constitutional America: Don’t be fooled or deceived by the emotional propaganda out there in social media land. Do your research on each candidates's truthful track record, don’t depend on your feelings & vote for the right things because we have faith in the Creator Who holds America & this Universe together until the end!
