Election 2012

How I admire the people who have this display in their yard. Their bold statement speaks volumes not only of the wonderful gift of salvation through Jesus but also of the wonderful blessing it is to live in a country where we have freedom of expression.

Though at times we may disagree with other viewpoints, this right is one of the characteristics that defines the excellence of the United States.
However,  the current trend seems that in the effort to establish social identity, some groups inadvertently limit their members to fitting into their box instead. Why do any of us have to be categorized in that manner. Though it human nature to make sense of the world around us, why can't a person be measured by merit alone?

This country was founded on the precept that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.  Sadly, many people do not agree with our forefathers. The hegemony of American pop culture has led to the redefinition of core values that the founding fathers lived by. The result is that in an effort to establish that which is already an American right, other people are categorized and scrutinized.
Regardless of the results of tonight's 2012 elections, I pray for the continuance of freedom of expression.
