This nugget is awaiting moderation at Mrs. Pilgrim's blog, but I needed to have it out, now. (This is not a whine, Mrs. P. Given your stances, I fully appreciate the need for moderating responses. Especially with people like me around. I would NEVER join a club that would have me as a member!)

Anti-abortion legislation…ain’t gonna happen. The harpies are louder than the saints, whether they are or not. To flog the moribund equine, it isn’t legislation that will end abortion. It is individuals who decide to keep their babies to full term. That requires training, another term for making disciples. Voting for McCain will not usher in the Kingdom of God. NO lever-pulling will do that. Even Hillary’s ascent to the Cherry Blossom Throne will not immanentize the Eschaton. It MAY usher in a little persecution that may strip some lard off the church.

Teach God’s Word to people: friends, family, neighbors, cow-orkers. In short, Christians, do your JOB. Quit looking for political short-cuts. The church has wasted 30 years going the Falwell/Robertson route, and the barbarians are taking the country. If you do things Jesus’ way, you can expect results. Good ones. If you continue to do it your way, or denominational HQ’s way, you can expect to do as well as you have already.
