A LITTLE GOOD NEWS after the election!
 

We all know the bad news.
Is there any good news after the Obama win?
Well, let's see...

GOOD NEWS FROM FLORIDA
Florida voters have stood up for traditional marriage.
Florida Marriage Protection Act PASSES!
This is the text of the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment:
“Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.”

OTHER GOOD NEWS:
it looks like ultra-liberal AL FRANKEN WAS DEFEATED
Coleman won by a mere few HUNDRED votes,
underscoring the importance of voting!!!
From what I can see right now,
this could help keep liberals from getting the 60 they needed to over ride the filibuster, this is tremendous news looking forward.

MORE THOUGHTS:
Although Obama won handily, this election was not a blow out.
It may appear that way because of the electoral vote, but McCain got
roughly 55 million votes to Obama's 62 million. Still a lot of red states and counties out there.
This election was lost in the last 60 days primarily due to a troubled economy, which in turn was led by the housing and credit crisis, actually set up by the liberal policies of Clinton back in the 90's. A year ago I think the unemployment was about 1 percent and the stock market was soaring. Regardless, elections are a numbers game, and in the end, we are the best agents of change for the next election...

NEXT TIME:
Bottom line: We have the unique power to change liberals to conservatives. We can change men's hearts, and their minds will follow. We as evangelicals have the power to convert pro-abortion hearts to pro-life votes. It is the power of the Gospel, which changes men's hearts, so it all goes back to evangelism and winning souls. And that is the REAL GOOD NEWS! :)

Also, the Gay Marriage Ban in California is close to victory! :)

Thanks Princess...

MORE GOOD NEWS...
Proposition 8 PASSED IN CALIFORNIA!!
Proposition 8, which would establish marriage as a union between a man and a woman, passed with 52.1% of the vote, against 47.9% opposed, with 94.6% of precincts reporting. The approval marks a stunning upset in a $70 million campaign that just weeks ago looked to be running in favor of preserving gay marriage rights. The passage of Prop 8, as it is known, would be a major victory for religious conservatives seeking to ban gay marriage in other states, and a crippling setback for the gay rights movement nationwide. more here:

Yay! :) :) :) :) :)

California finally did something right!

Yes, CA voters are a schizophrenic lot and I am glad I don't live there any more. On the one hand they vote (twice) to protect the definition of marriage and have also voted to protect their borders and state sovereignty against illegal immigrants, but they are still voting by and large for politicians that will put judges into office that directly contravene their will.

Oh, I'm glad to be away from California too! I lived in the Sacramento area for 5 years... and that was enough for me!

Yep, America is becoming an Oligarchy. It really is a shame.

Peace and Love,
Stephen

Bingo!
 

Yep. Lived there over 4 decades. Two daughters (married) and 2 grandkids are still there. 3 of the most wretchedly voting/speaking Leftests in Government are Pelosi (Speaker of the House--third-in-line to the Presidency ), Boxer and Feinstein- (not her married name) all from the San Fran Freako Bay area... {I have often wondered why The Lord God doesn't rain down hailstones, frogs, lice on that place...?!?--- But He is God - not me...}

Something that was said above by Parrish got me to thinkin' 'bout somethin'...

Southern Cal. (don't know about Central and Northern) has some rather large Churches---all flavors, and yes I'm including the R.
C.'s in this Post--don't get upset, just bear with me for a moment-;)) with several folks attending. From the first Calvary Chapel in the Costa Mesa/Santa Ana area to the Crystal Cathedral (boo-hiss) in Garden Grove, to Saddleback Community Church (another ugh,boo-hiss) in Orange County, Grace Community Church in Panarama City, Church on The Way in Sherman Oaks, Calvary Chapel Golden Springs in Diamond Bar, Harvest Christian Center in Riverside, Horizon Chapel in San Diego area... and several more that hold more than 300 people and have more than one service on Sunday morning. When I was in La Mirada our Baptist Church held (Fire Regs.) 300 folks one morning service....The 2 Roman Catholic facilities have at least 3 services on Sundays and can hold at least 400 bodies. Plus all the L.D.S. wards and other smaller groups. All claiming to believe in the God of Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob.

Not to bore you folks with names/stats/places, but to let you know that not everything in Cal. is a big beach ball/surfing/amusement park.

I have often thought that with all those folks going to Churches (of all stripes/flavors/varieties-including the Cults and "isms".) that there should be a more Godly or righteous population in California, and they should be voting for School Board members, Repesentatives, Councilmen, Mayors, County Supervisors , Senators, and Governors, that at very least --- Have a clue who Adam and Eve and Moses and David and Jesus and Paul were... and what they said/taught. Right now it's like they were asleep all throughout Sunday School and Worship service. :(

oops--- just noticed that I spelled something wrong... Per the 3 females from the San Fran freako Bay area it should read "Leftist". I guess that a "Leftest" would be if you voted for the abortionists and sex perves candidate.

I like calling it "San Fransicko." :D

Also the "Left Coast."

Adding some more...

#1 -- I don't know the group consensus here regarding illegal immigration, but deportation was up 63% here in Georgia and in the Carolinas in the 12 months ending in October, including some rather bad characters. In Atlanta, we're thrilled to see them all go. [Unfortunately, deports might slow down if our Prez2B follows through on allowing drivers licenses to illegals.]

#2 -- Georgia remains a red state. There were many who predicted we could flip-flop blue! Of concern though is the outcome of the congressional race here. It looks like it could be a run-off. Pray!

#3 -- Blue Bell Ice Cream is on sale at Kroger for $2.99/gallon. Save $3+!!!

Yay on #3!! :D I'm not sure I can make it to Georgia to take advantage of that deal though... ;)

We have a place called Braums that has even better ice cream, but Blue Bell is good stuff. Oklahoma is home to a Blue Bell Creamery. :D You can go in for tours. Admission is a couple of bucks and includes a free scoop of ice cream.

Looks like they also have a Creamery in Texas and Alabama. :)

I lived in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma for 8 years, so I'm well-aware of Braums. And that wonderful eggnog they offer this time of year!!!

Braums is sooo good. You know they have branched out to neighboring states. You can now find them in Texas, Arizona, Missouri and Kansas. :)

That is good to know. I've had a craving for eggnog lately and I have not tried their eggnog yet. I'll have to give it a try once I have someone to share it with so I don't drink it all or have it go bad. :) I'm the only person in the house that drinks it. Diligent calls it Egg-nauseous.

I just looked it up and Eggnog has quite the interesting history. And to tie all of this back to political in some form:

Even those who don't care for eggnog like Braums eggnog!

And you might as well run out and buy some jeans in a larger size.

One day it will fall into the ocean...

OK, stop picking so hard on Cali. I grew up there, from Inglewood, since 1961, and just like it was said. its more than just beaches and amusement parks, at least with the large gay population, they voted against gay marriages, something which a lot out there figured would be the last thing they'd do. BTW there are a lot of good independent baptist churches out there, Chick Publications comes from Cali.

Absolutely right! I spent the first ten years of my life in Los Angeles, and it was a great place to live. Of course, that was nearly fifty years ago....

California is also the state that gave the country Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. That oughtta count for something.

Of course, San Francisco (which deserves to be called "San Fransicko," although it's one of the most beautiful cities in the country) and Los Angeles, nowadays, really are the modern equivalents of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Hmmmm .... I guess the state is pretty schitzophrenic. Not like the rest of the country, huh? Not like all those states which elected Nixon and Reagan in landslides, then turned around and elected Obama?

This whole country is, as Ruckman says, "shot through the britches." But there really are some wonderful Christian people in California.

I am currently doing a personal study on Breyer's Butter Almond.

Looks like somebody in California is not happy with the new laws...

In San Diego Saturday, as many as 10,000 people marched from Hillcrest to North Park to protest the passage of Proposition 8.

During a march in Long Beach Friday night, police arrested 15 people on suspicion of inciting a riot for trying to lead marchers off the demonstration's permitted path. A handful of people were arrested for blocking traffic or failing to disperse in Westwood and Hollywood on two previous nights.

Any angry group massed outside the Mormon temple in West Los Angeles Thursday evening to protest the church's support of the ballot measure. At issue is the state's definition of marriage -- a union of a man and woman -- as affirmed by Proposition 8, which passed by a 52-48 percent margin statewide.

if this keeps up, you can expect the new White House to weigh in...

"I will place the weight of my administration behind the enactment of the Matthew Shepard Act to outlaw hate crimes..."

Anti-Prop. 8 mob:
It’s over. You lost. Move on.

By Michelle Malkin • November 11, 2008 01:02 PM

"I think it’s time for leaders to counsel the anti-Prop. 8 mob to stop the protests and accept the will of the people of California. Tell them to leave the churches alone. Tell them to stop blocking traffic and impeding businesses and harassing elderly couples and targeting donors.
It’s over. You lost. Move on."
