"America's Next Top Model (citizen)"

Well ladies and gentlemen, Barrack O'Bama, the senator from Illinois is a few steps closer to becoming the President of the United States. Our chief representative, our "model citizen". With this office comes the control of the military, and the ability to appoint individuals to various offices that oversee things like homeland insecurity. The primaries are going well for O'Bama, he has drummed up quite a popularity; especially among the younger crowd. People have been rushing to the polls to cast their ballots and walk away proud of themselves. I suppose voting makes one feel good about oneself. Perhaps it makes you feel like you are important, like you have voiced your opinion and dog gone it someone heard you. You can leave the booth with a smile and feel like you exercised your right as an American to have a voice and be part of the governmental process. Ah, so edifying to one's self esteem.

I, on the other hand, have never in my life voted and I will tell you why. You, of course, don't have to listen but I will tell you just the same. I see the truth in our governmental election process. Democracy is DEAD my friends. And the fact that most citizens exercise their "right" to vote only shows how oblivious we are to reality. The vote you cast is merely a suggestion to those who actually run the country. There are organizations that decide who becomes president of this great country and you are likely not part of the "in" crowd. Just look at the Democratic Party's delegate system. They have pledge delegates, and super delegates whose votes are what really matter to the candidates. These individuals do not have to take your advise about who to vote for. The popular vote in a particular state could go to one individual while the delegates go to the candidate who paid the most money to "favorite charities" or made the right promises to the right people. They hope that by stirring up the people they can gain your support and that the majority will go their way but they really don't care how you feel and they will vote however they want. This system was developed for your protection, of course; I mean what if the popular vote went to say Jerry Springer or some comedian as a protest? Obviously, in that case the public would be mistaken and a "sensible" group of people would need to step in and dictate who was truly best for the job.

I hope you are beginning to see the truth in voting. But in case you aren't then let me continue. Our political system boasts two parties, Republicans, and Democrats. They decide who you get to vote for and, quite frankly, neither of their candidates is usually very suited for the job. But that is all you get to chose from. Once these candidates are chosen the "real" voting begins right? Or does it? Some more truth for you here, and if you took government in High School (assuming you paid attention) you know that the Electoral Votes elect the president. These come from the Electoral College which most of us are not alumni of. Once again, your vote here is merely a suggestion. The electoral college does not have to follow the popular vote. Isn't that sweet of our government to tell you that "every vote counts..." and "we need you to get out there and voice you opinion..." and then they hold the right to completely disregard your opinion and do whatever they want anyway. I will tell you what the polls are; they are a tool to determine if the facade is still working. The voter turnout tells them that you are still deceived and they can go about business as usual. Let's face it folks, if you really want your vote to count, watch "American Idol".

There is a principality in this world with an agenda for this country and the world and it will achieve that goal by any means necessary. Everything in our world is a tool that can be used to manipulate us and force us to bend to the will of... The media uses political commentators to get you fired up about certain "hot button" issues so you forget about the important issue. Gas prices go through the stratosphere to distract and cause chaos while proving how much control they have.

I know, I now sound like a raving conspiracy theorist who believes that they are out to get us. Well, that's partially true; they (and you know who they are) are out to get us . By us I mean Christians. The most important issue that you need to be thinking about is the condition of your relationship with Jesus Christ and what you are willing to go through for Him. I feel that the end is coming soon and we need to be ready for when the world turns on us and declares us "Terrorists". Then the Global War on Terror is going to come crashing home on us. Remember, however, as I have said in another post that the men of this world can only kill the physical body. Salvation comes either through death or perseverance. Matthew 24:13 "...He who endures to the end shall be saved..." Jesus is coming and I want to meet Him in the air dead or alive (we shall all be changed).
