Bear with me as I allow the montage of images in my brain to flow out onto this screen. Forgive me if it’s a little disorganized; I didn’t want to lose any thoughts. Everyday there is something different to think about, talk about, write about and pray about.
Christians
People take umbrage with my assertion that conservative principles are more reflective of biblical ethics than are liberal ones (see Update below). Why? Because they mistakenly believe that politics and faith (they actually mean “religion”) should be separate. Where do they get this idea? Mainly from the secularization of public life, one of the worst things to happen to this country.
We all have a worldview, and that worldview influences the decisions we make and how we live our lives. Your god or “higher power” may not bear the name Jesus Christ, but make no mistake that whatever code of ethics you choose to believe in, they guide every aspect of your lives. For instance, if you believe women should have the freedom to kill their “fetuses” because personal choice is a higher virtue than protecting the unborn, you will likely vote for John Kerry.
I get a fair amount of e-mail and comments from non-Christians (and a few Christians) who question my faith as it pertains to my support for George Bush. As I’ve written many times on this blog, I’m voting for Bush because, as a conservative, his policies and his worldview are, in my opinion, more aligned with biblical principles and ethics than Kerry’s.

I will update this post occasionally with Bush endorsements around the blogosphere. The first is a funny one by Frank J. I was perusing my referrers log and decided to stop in at his site, IMAO. This post is LOL! My five year-old niece would be impressed.
You want my Bush endorsement? Read the whole blog. Seriously, I may write a magnum opus this weekend to cheer on fellow Bush supporters. This has been a very contentious and combative presidential race, but so have many others in our history. I want to assure you that the world will not end if Bush isn’t re-elected. He’ll go on, and we’ll go on.
Some of you are nervous, others confident. To every believer, no matter how you feel about this election, I offer the word of the Lord:

Rathergate tops the chart at #1. From the Media Research Center:
The Ten Worst Media Distortions of Campaign 2004
1. Dan Rather’s Forgery Fiasco
2. Ignoring, Then Attacking, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
3. Pounding the Bush National Guard Story
4. Spinning a Good Economy into Bad News
5. The Networks’ Outrageous Convention Double-Standard
6. Swooning Over Edwards’ Image, Ignoring His Liberalism
7. CBS’s Byron Pitts Promotional Kerry Coverage
8. CBS Promotes Fears of a New Military Draft
9. Misrepresenting the 9/11 Commission on Iraq/al-Qaeda Links
10. Equating New Terrorism Warning to LBJ’s “Gulf of Tonkin”
Rathergate … CBS News had to appoint an outside two-member investigating committee to find out how and why a) Dan Rather aired a hatchet job on President Bush based on forged documents that CBS was warned about and b) CBS Producer Mary Mapes coordinated with senior Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart concerning the discredited source of those documents.

Unrelated Addendum: I want to make sure everyone sees this. The IRS is reviewing the NAACP’s (“The Dinosaur”) tax-exempt status. In the words of Martha Stewart, “It’s a good thing.” See the New York Times (registration req.) article. Also see my favorite Dinosaur post. Michael King has a few thoughts.

One more thing…
You know what I was thinking? Idiots making videos and threatening the United States may actually help President Bush get re-elected. Drudge has the exclusive on the contents of the video. A sample:
