The End of the U.S. As We Know It
The United States of America is now well on its way to retreating into the annals of world history as the nation that had its time as the world’s superpower, but was brought down by the failure of education. The failure of schools to teach young people about the political history of our country and the world, and why the failed liberal policies of past leaders still won’t work. The failure to outline how the vital signs of our nation were affected by different kinds of policies (for example, the unparalleled rise in inflation under Carter, who Obama holds in unduly high regard). We can only hope that Obama’s term will be as short as Carter’s (and Hoover’s) was, and that another Ronald Reagan will rise; one who can successfully articulate conservative principles to the masses in a way that’s easy to understand. Because apparently a good orator is all people vote for these days.
Congratulations, you uneducated Americans, for electing our first Socialist president because “he sounds good.”
But as always, I trust that God is in control and knows what is best… if He has seen fit that this nation should fall, then so be it.
Romans 13:1 – “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.”
BUT…
Acts 4:18-20 – “So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered them, ‘Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.’”
Let us not forget that our duty of obedience is to God, first and foremost.

It wasn’t the uneducated Americans who voted in Obama. People who’ve completed university and people with PhDs voted more for Obama than McCain. Look it up.
Obama went to Harvard Law and was a professor of constitutional law. Compare that to McCain’s fairly abysmal educational record. What a joke.

“People who’ve completed university and people with PhDs voted more for Obama than McCain. Look it up.”
I don’t doubt you – but I do doubt the “knowledge” of such people, like the elitists that permeate our higher education. They should know more than anyone else that nothing good ever comes from the government being in charge of more and more things – and history proves that.
I don’t look to government to solve all my problems. I take control of my own life.
“Compare that to McCain’s fairly abysmal educational record. What a joke.”
So, you provide an objective snippet of Obama’s educational record, and then want me to compare that to your completely unobjective statement about McCain’s?
Right.

John McCain was ranked 894 out of 899 in his Naval Academy class. Definitely the candidate of intellectuals.

you imply that his ranking was based solely on his academic performance. but did you actually read the rest of the sentence you got that from??
“McCain came into conflict with higher-ranking personnel, he did not always obey the rules, and that contributed to a low class rank (894 of 899), despite a high IQ.”
