Deciding on a Path to Take

On the way to work, the morning after the election, I saw a car which was pulled over on the side of the road. The driver threw open his door and vomited in the street.

I know how you feel, brother. I know how you feel.

But it's important that we don't sink to the juvenile levels of cross-eyed hate mongering that the left has been stuck in for 8 years. Let's not become the vile, seething, loony president-haters that have been haunting President Bush.

President-elect Obama…
is NOT a Muslim.
is NOT an anti-American fifth-column saboteur.
is NOT the Anti-Christ.

President-elect Obama…
IS unknown and untested.
IS a politician.
IS our duly-elected chief executive.

Any president deserves our respect (for the office) and our prayers. If he makes decisions that are bad or with which we disagree, we'll voice our dissent in a rational and fair manner.

Let the batty, left-wing conspiracy theorists corner the market on irresponsible, personal attacks.

This verse made me re-think some of my attitudes towards Obama and was particularly convicting when I read it last week...

"Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one , to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another."

Titus 3:1-3
