Crushed between the wheels of capitalism and big government.

Read in the email journal The Federalist today about Christianity:

-------
"If Christian ministers would crucify their fear of man, get solidly briefed regarding the chief political issues, not sweat necessary division, not get caught up in last days madness, maintain their hope for tomorrow, understand their liberties under God and our Constitution, not become so heavenly minded they're no earthly good, focus on the majors and blow off bowing to cash instead of convictions, then maybe...just maybe...we will see their influence cause our nation to take a righteous turn away from the secularists' putrid path." --Doug Giles
-------

Especially noteworthy is the comment on "last day's madness." I sense that the Christian community is so shocked by the strident anti-Chrisitan sentiment that exists in American Media today that this sentiment provokes a reaction amongst Believers that they're - we're - at the end. This isn't true. You have got to stand up for what you believe in, not hide behind your Bible. Since I'm a lapsed Christian myself, I am able to levy this criticism from the outside looking in, and encourage Christians of all kinds to be strong in both their faith and their political convictions.

After all, YOU get the government that YOU vote into office. If one comes along which votes ITSELF into office, you may utilize the Second Amendment to take care of the problem . They may get clever on us and try to take it away; remember: the day it becomes necessary to bury your guns is the day it becomes necessary to dig them up.
