The America of the Past in the Future?

Today is a pivotal day in the history of not only the greatest country on the globe, but it will also have a unprecedented impact on the world.  Who will win the 2008 Presidential election?  Obama or McCain?  To be completely honest, I am not a fan of either candidate, but I did vote today.  It is my duty to do all I can for this country.

While this is a big deal, I believe that the bigger issue is sitting on the plates of the California public.  Proposition 8.  This is the balance of where America will go in the future.  For those who vote "NO" on Prop 8 are voting that a man and a man or a woman and a woman can be married.  For those people who vote "YES" on Prop 8 they are voting to protect the marriage of a man and a woman.  This will have a drastic effect on America if it gets voted down.  This will especially burden the churches.  It will make it a hate crime to teach that sodomy is a sin.  This has the potential to put Pastors in jail for teaching God's Word.  This, then is going against our First Amendment of the United States of America which promises us the freedom of speech and practice of religion.  

It is a scary day in which we live that our country is persecuting it's own people for religious freedoms and moving towards a socialistic government.  It is not the governments job to give things to the people, nor to take from the rich and give to the poor.  It is the governments job to protect the rights of the people.  If a man doesn't work, neither should he eat.
