Election Outcome: Power--yes; Facts--no!
REGARDLESS of the outcome of the election/voting, LIFE still begins at conception (check a high-school biology book), and a VALID MARRIAGE is between one man and one woman (and I won't get into the biology of homosexual relations in the feed; leave it said that it ain't natural or pretty!). So, rejoice. And continue to strive for what we know to be factual, regardless of the perverse sirens you may hear on TV, radio, or elsewhere!! :) God doesn't call us to be "successful;" but rather, to fight the GOOD fight with constancy. I don't usually YELL in a posting, but circumstances and the situations being what they are... well you understand.

The Father of Our Country Speaks Wisdom for the Ages! Shouldn't We "Take a Listen?"
"Friends and Citizens:
..."Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
"It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric?"
...President George Washington
Farewell Address to Congress, 1796
[ The entire speech is incredibly relevant/essential reading. ]
