What are you really fighting for?

I'm sick and tired of the constant debate about politics. Neither party is perfect, nor will it ever be perfect. When George W. was in office everyone blamed Clinton for the bad things happening during Bush's presidency, saying that a president deals with the consequences of poor decisions made during the previous term. Now, what I am so eager to understand is why Republicans were so adamant about blaming everything in Bush's time on Clinton, yet now that Obama has been in office for LESS than a year, everything he is doing and dealing with is his own mistake. If I'm understanding this correctly, won't Obama be dealing with Bush's mistakes for just as long as Bush supposedly dealt with Clinton's? His whole presidency. Let's not be ignorant now folks. A man cannot fix the problems of an entire country in 11 months, nor is it one man making all of the decisions. Did we all pay attention during American History when we learned of the other branches of the government and the system of Checks and Balances. People choosing to turn a blind eye and blame ONE person for the problems of this nation is infuriating. If you want things to change, GO DO IT YOURSELF.

There is always the argument that Obama may not be a Christian and that this country is headed for disaster if it does not get back to its Godly foundation. If I remember right, the country was founded on people escaping from oppression, only to oppress others. Doesn't sound very Godly to me. Last time I read my Bible, rarely were there Godly leaders. God's people asked for a leader. He told them they didn't want a leader, they would only be oppressed and unhappy. Yet, they still insisted on having a leader. Then, God chose a man as a leader, David. As I recall, even David pulled a Bill Clinton. Why do we all sit on our ass and complain that this country is going down because of the horrible leaders. How about the horrible people? Ghandi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Regardless of your religious stance, I find this statement to be valuable. You can sit back and complain that the president isn't doing enough in this area or that, but what have you really done to make a change? It's not about who is in office, it's about how you live your life that really matters. It's not about abortion being legal, it's about what you believe. It's not about what drugs are legalized, it's about your choice to not use them. It's not about what's in magazines and movies, it's about what you choose to expose yourself to. Focus shouldn't be put on the kingdom of this earth or this country, but on the Kingdom of God. So really, aren't you just wasting your breath talking politics if you're truly a believer? I say yes.
