The Disenfranchisement of the Military Voter
So let me get this straight; New York and the Chicago area can't get absentee balloting right for military voters? It seems to me that if the White House were going to sue someone...say a state or city that this would be a good time. It is not just inconvenient...it is a national disgrace to see this happening. If the Department of Justice cannot get this right...perhaps they should cease to exist for they serve no great purpose if they cannot protect the vote of the military voters. But perhaps the White House and Democrats do not like how military people have tended to vote, so it is inconvenient at best for them. In any event it seems to me, having served 29 1/2 years in the Army that the military has been what has allowed valid voting to take place from the beginning, so this must be made right. The last couple of presidential elections there was much talk about the disenfranchisement of ethnic and minority vote. People are enraged if the poor cannot vote. Systems are put into place to make sure that people are not disenfranchised. ACORN and similar community organizers exist to get out the vote. But, who is really watching out for our great military people and their right to vote and have it count? Sure it is hard to make sure that they get a chance because they are frequently put into situations like overseas deployments that put their lives at risk protecting our freedoms. I know we have the technology to make this happen. We just don't seem to have the will nor the backbone. But somebody should stand up and make some noise about this and protest vigorously. Those who cannot make this happen should be replaced and lose their jobs whether they are politicians or beaurocrats. If the Department of Justice needs shaken up because they can't seem to get their act together over the Black Panther voter scandal and disenfranchisement of white voters then perhaps the person to take the fall should be at the top of that, Mr. Holder. Eliminate anyone who cannot figure this out and make it right...simple. Or it should be. We trust our military NCOs and Officers to lead our soldiers in combat...trust them as vote monitors and send back the tallys with accompanying information through electronic means to whatever state, city or municipality. It could be validated and used as provisional ballots at the vary least until the accompanying hard ballot arrived. Make it happen, we can and should do this. It is rediculous that thousands of military ballots are not counted each election cycle and we talk about it but do nothing about it. I am SICK AND TIRED of it. I guarantee you that if Mr. Obama thought that most of these votes were going to democrats that there would be hell to pay and they would find a way for the Justice Department to get really involved instead of the lame efforts that they have made so far. Go ahead, Mr. President, make my day....make the military ballots all count throughtout this great land. Stop the Disenfranchisement of American Military voters now.

Bill Maher Mocks Christians and Those Who Believe
It should come as no surprise to those who have ever listened to what "passes for intelligence" from Bill Maher's mouth that he mocks our God and our Christ. He speaks as faith being a conscious suspending of rational processes to believe. He could not be further from the truth, either about God, Christ or his bogus definition of faith and belief. These days, people like Bill Maher, qualify as the intellectual elite of our times. But they are neither elite nor intellectually sound. They suspend belief for rational processes and thus deny a large part of the image of God that was placed in them in creation. By mocking what he clearly does not understand, he shows the smallness and deadness of his spirit. I do not hate or hope that Mr. Maher goes to hell. I would not wish this on anyone...I do pray that he could come to a spirit of repentance and hear the call of God for his own life. I pray that he has not blasphemed the Holy Spirit in such a way as to be beyond grace. But those who mock must be careful because he could come to a place where he couldn't see a blessing or a call from God were it to happen right in front of his face. In C.S. Lewis final book of the Chronicles of Narnia, there is a scene in which some dwarfs refused to believe in Aslan had him right in front of them speaking to them and they could not perceive it. They were beyond grace because of their own insistence and mocking that the Great Aslan did not exist and could not deliver. They were wrong and so is Bill Maher and his ilk of unbelieving scoffers. We should not be surprised because the scripture tells us that in the last days there would come scoffers and mockers. This is just another witness from God that the end times are upon us. Come quickly Lord Jesus. And every knee will bow and confess that Jesus is Lord...and that includes you, Mr. Bill Maher. By the way I am not really sure that Bill Maher really exists. He is spiritually dead and in need of resurrection. Hopefully he can find grace and forgiveness for leading many astray. He is a false prophet and people should both understand that and understand his threat.
