This has been one hotly contested presidential campaign! We have two of the weakest candidates running in both parties. There are too many problems with each candidate to write them down here. Besides, it would make this entry far too long to hold anyone's attention. So I'll just keep it simple.
Let me Begin by saying that in the last eight months I have been called a racist, bigot, radical, extremest, religious zealot; and that was by my relatives. I've been called worse by others. I have had more than one person tell me that, "anyone who doesn't vote for Obama is a racist."
I have an excellent friend who happens to be a Black American who has an Obama sticker on his car to avoid having his car vandalized in his neighborhood. I have heard people say they will never "vote for a [Black man] for president." These things are completely out of line. Each man should be judged on his character and his proposals, not on color or party affiliations.
Yesterday I overheard a conversation between two people in a Kroger store. One was relating that she was glad she voted early for Obama because she doesn't believe she could support him now. What?! That is good logic if you are a fool. I have also heard people say that they were voting for Obama "because it's time America had a Black president." My belief is that it is time we had a good president; one that is good for our Great Nation. I don't believe that either candidate will be "good for America", so I will have to vote for the one who will do the least harm, and do the best job in protecting our country.
I am a Christian. I approach every election using Christian principles as my guide. As my title suggests, I will give only two reasons I cannot support Obama for president. First is his view on abortion. Not only does he support abortion on demand, but he also supports partial birth abortions and infanticide. He supports teacher's rights to take a student to have an abortion without parental consent. He said in one of his interviews that, "We have two daughters. We will teach them moral values, but if one of them makes a mistake I don't want them punished with a child." Punished?! I think that we MUST support the rights of the weakest, and that would be the unborn child. Children are never mistakes! Children may make a mistake and become pregnant, but that child is a gift from God. It may not seem so at the time, but nonetheless, the child is a gift from God.
Gen. 1:27, 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Ps. 139:13-16, 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
Jer. 1:5, 5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew [a] you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
a. Jeremiah 1:5 Or chose
We are all wonderful creations of God. We are a part of His perfect plan. Things happen in our lives which we want no part of, but God doesn't use our plans as His guide. Thank God He doesn't! He also provided us with a way of salvation through His son Jesus. We all make mistakes, we all sin, but Jesus is there for us to provide us with forgiveness. So, if you have been a part of an abortion, seek Jesus and He will forgive. After all, He has already paid the price for all sins. Because pregnancies aren't "mistakes" they are gifts from God, and Obama doesn't understand that; I can't support him.
Second, Obama wants to "redistribute the wealth"; just ask Joe the plumber. He wants to take from the producers and give it to the non producers. In other words, he isn't interested in raising people up, he is interested in bringing down the ones who succeed: pure socialism. Socialism has never worked in any country in which it was tried. The Pilgrims formed a socialist/communist state when they first arrived. The outcome was predictable. The producers were angry that the non producers grew lazier so everyone slowed down their production: they nearly starved to death. After they adopted the "free enterprise" approach, there was plenty.
The early Church also had problems.
2 Th. 3:6-15, 6In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching[a] you received from us. 7For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, 8nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. 9We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to follow. 10For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."
11We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies. 12Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat. 13And as for you, brothers, never tire of doing what is right.
a. 2 Thessalonians 3:6 Or tradition
When you take away a person's desire to work, you steal their dignity. Man was designed to work. The Social Welfare instituted during the FDR presidency did nothing but steal the dignity of its recipients, and it continues today. Churches in the community took care of those in need within the community, but with the implementation of welfare our churches abdicated their responsibilities; giving it over to the government. Who would do a better job at giving a person a hand up instead of a handout; all the time, allowing the person to retain their dignity?
Well, these are but only two reasons I'm not voting for Obama, but I am voting. I implore you all to vote also. We are a Democratic Republic. This means that we elect people to represent us. We are not a Democracy! Thank God we aren't a democracy! A lynch mob is a democracy! We are a Republic! Every time I hear one of our elected officials refer to our Great Nation as a Democracy it sends chills up my spine. We have elected a person to represent us and they aren't aware of the form of government we have.
Ro. 13:1-2, 1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
God gave us this government. It is a government which requires our involvement; our vote. If we choose not to vote, it's like saying that God didn't know what He was doing when he put this government in place. I think that we who are Christians must vote because it is our Christian duty. See you at the polls.

The Evils of Multiculturalism
Multiculturalism is one of those things that you wonder where it came from and what purpose it serves. It is not something of which we should be proud. It is a blight on our country, and weakens our Great Nation as the movement gains strength. It rose to great prominence during the Clinton administration. It is a political tool used to separate people into groups so that each group can be targeted for campaigning. That is why you will hear a person seeking office say one thing to Blacks and another to Hispanics, or one thing to unions and another in "right to work" states. One would think we would catch on! James Carvel is the man who worked to perfect its use during both of President Clinton's campaigns. It has literally caused an extreme hatred between the parties which never existed before its rise. The hatred, if left alone, will eventually tear down our Country's character and structure.
When you take a good look at what exactly multiculturalism is, you can spot the evil which lies within its structure. Multiculturalism's sole purpose is to divide people. It pits the haves against the have nots; the Blacks against the Whites; the Blacks against the Hispanics; the Blacks and the Hispanics against the Orientals; the Jews against the Christians; Catholics against Protestants, and so on and so on. It is divisive in its very nature. It stirs up bigotry among our population for the purpose of winning an election. How evil is that?!
I recently saw a sign which read, "Assimilation makes us great, but diversity makes us hate." My initial reaction was to criticize the person posting the sign for his lack of knowledge, and his anger; but after thinking about it for several days, and rereading the message several times I realized that he was spot on.
Our Country was founded by people of different backgrounds. Families flocked to America for the equal opportunities which were available here. They came here from the world over seeking a better life for themselves and their children. Although they chose to settle in communities where others from their country of origin were, they insisted on their children learning the American Way. They tried diligently to learn the English language, and tried to speak it at home with their children. They were thankful and proud to be here. They were anxious to contribute to our Country, and too proud to take handouts. They worked their butts off! When the world was at war, they signed up to fight for their new country. Many were asked to fight against their former country, the Germans, the Italians, the Japanese; and they did it with pride. They were American heroes of a special kind. They were assimilated into our Great Nation, and they were glad to be here. They had one thing in common, they were all Americans.
Today the emphasis is on the things that make us different: diversity. We no longer have Americans who happen to be Black; we have African-Americans. We no longer have Americans who happen to be Hispanic; we have Latino-Americans. There is a hyphenated description for every race of people who reside in the United States today. This can't be good! We are focusing on our differences rather than the fact that we are Americans. We should be Americans first! Where is our pride and patriotism!
When Jesus was accused of using the power of demons to drive out demons, He was clear in his message. This message also applies to the multicultural movement in our Great Nation today.
Matthew 12:25, 25Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
Multiculturalism divides our Country against itself. Those people who promote this are either ignorant to the effect it is having, or despise our Country for its success. It is important that we unite once again, and do those things that make us a stronger nation and greater people. After all, we are in this together.

The Power of Political Correctness
Today, we live in an era of "political correctness" (PC, also for
politically correct). We have heard this characterization used many
times in the last 30 or so years; much more frequently in recent
years. Have you ever wondered what exactly PC is, and what are the
ramifications of this so called movement? What I have noticed is that
if one is in the minority, every bad thing that happens to them
is because someone or some branch of government acted in a
politically incorrect way toward them. Have you noticed that the
minorities who ignore PC succeed or are in the process of succeeding?
PC has become a cancer on our society. It is anti-capitalist in its very
nature. It rewards bad behavior. It has caused many companies to
unnecessarily re-evaluate how they do business; usually at a higher
cost. It is an attack on conservatism. (When I use conservatism here,
it is not a political thing I'm writing about. It is those of you out there
who run their families and finances in a conservative manner; in
other words, about 70% of Americans.) We used to call this "having
common sense". I am older than most of you on my mailing list, and
I can remember vividly having the idea of common sense preached
to me by my parents, and the concept of common sense taught to
me in school. You can't do it today though, it would be politically incorrect.
During the aftermath of 9-11, President Bush created one of the
largest government agencies, and one of the least needed in our
Great Nation's history: Airport Security. For those of you who have
traveled recently or travel frequently, you know what a mess it is
going through security. Its sole purpose is PC. We can't use common
sense to determine that ALL the terrorists on 9-11 were Arab men
between 18 and 30 years of age, so we have to check everyone
boarding a flight. If we were allowed to profile, our lines would be
much shorter with less hassle. By the way; profiling is one of the
necessary tools our policemen and women (trying to be PC here) use
to solve crimes. Too bad we aren't allowed to apply that same
common sense approach to the airport.
PC has moved into our schools as well. We can't do or say anything
that may offend people. As most of you know, my wife, Harriet,
retired from teaching this year. She tells me of the things that go on
in our government indoctrination centers we call public schools. If it
weren't so sad, it would be funny. At one point teachers weren't
allowed to take up homework. They had to provide a basket in which
students could voluntarily put their homework. Why? Because those
students who didn't do their homework may be embarrassed by being
singled out or accidentally noticed by their classmates. I don't
know about you, but fear of embarrassment was a motivator for me in school.
Another spin-off of the PC movement is the "zero tolerance" policy
adopted by almost every school in America. Zero tolerance is for
those who have zero common sense. You have all heard the stories
about students getting suspended from school for, in many cases,
accidentally violating the zero tolerance policy. A girl was suspended
in '06 for having a knife on her charm bracelet. I'm sure she posed a
threat to her fellow students. Also in '06 a 3rd grader was suspended
for drawing a gun during art class. In '08 a boy was suspended for
having a table knife in the trunk of his car: a car used the previous day
to carry table supplies to a family reunion. Zero common sense is
what was used to decide whether these notorious people were worthy
of staying in school. After all, you can't stop a child from bringing a
weapon into school when you let a girl wear a bracelet with a knife
charm on it. That would be politically incorrect! That would be
stereotyping! Not in our schools!
One thing that we are all feeling the brunt of lately is the financial
decline. How did it happen? What was behind this market meltdown?
One doesn't have to go far to find that the culprit is PC. Finance
companies and banks were told by Congress to lower their
qualifications for loans so that more people could own their own
homes. This all sounds delightful; so PC, but look at what has
happened since lending institutions suspended common sense. There
is a tried and true reason for the requirements on a loan application.
Also, I realize that there are some who deserve a chance when ALL
the qualifications aren't met. This is where common sense of the loan
officer comes into play. We are now finding out that the loan officers
KNEW full well that a large percentage of those receiving high risk
home loans would eventually default. And who do we have to blame
for this? Look in the mirror! We continue to put people in congress
who are more concerned with buying votes than doing the job we put
them there to do: and we keep sending the same people back. After
all, everyone else's congressmen and women (trying to be PC) is the
problem, but definitely not mine. Is this using common sense?
The Bible speaks to us about finances. There are way too many
instructions concerning finances to include here, but I am including
a few. These are from the book of Common Sense, AKA Proverbs.
Proverbs 6:1-3, 1 My son, if you have put up security for your
neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge for another, 2 if
you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words
of your mouth, 3 then do this, my son, to free yourself, since you
have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Go and humble yourself;
press your plea with your neighbor!
Proverbs 11:15, 15 He who puts up security for another will surely
suffer, but whoever refuses to strike hands in pledge is safe.
Proverbs 17:18, 18 A man lacking in judgment strikes hands in
pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.
Proverbs 22:26-27, 26 Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge
or puts up security for debts; 27 if you lack the means to pay,
your very bed will be snatched from under you.
(from the NIV)
You are only as good as the security you provide. Your neighbor,
having no security, is only as good as that which he has provided.
Those defaulting on their homes lacked the necessary security.
Owning a home is not a right, it is a privilege; a privilege we must
earn. We do not deserve it just because we see others owning their
homes. Thus the financial problems of today.
One of my favorite books of the Bible is The Revelation. In The
Revelation, Jesus speaks to the seven churches of that day. He
tells them what they are doing wrong and what they are doing right.
The letter to the Church of Laodicea is one I like to tie to the PC
movement. Laodicea was a city with many things going for it. It was
a banking center. It had a medical school. And it manufactured
much sought after purple dye for fabrics. If we look around us
today, we are in that city. We have financial institutions, medical
schools, and industry. We too, like the people of Laodicea, have
become complacent in our ways. We are willing to "leave well
enough alone". We are neither hot or cold. We are middle of the
road. We are Politically Correct!
Rev. 3:14-22, 14"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
ruler of God's creation. 15I know your deeds, that you are neither
cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because
you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out
of my mouth. 17You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do
not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched,
pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18I counsel you to buy from me gold
refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to
wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put
on your eyes, so you can see. 19Those whom I love I rebuke and
discipline. So be earnest, and repent. 20Here I am! I stand at the
door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will
come in and eat with him, and he with me. 21To him who overcomes,
I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame
and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22He who has an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
(from the NIV)
It is not "OK" if people are acting in an immoral way. They must be
called to task for their actions: lovingly called to task. We look at
people and wonder how they can help us. We don't want to offend
them because they might take their business elsewhere. We must be
PC in our dealings with them. Common sense is an obsolete theory; it
has been replaced by the much fairer Political Correct movement.
Aren't we lucky!

An introduction
This is my first entry into my blog so I felt it necessary and respectful to give you some of my background. My name is Don Trippe. I've been married for 36 years, we have two grown and gone sons, and we live in the North Georgia mountains. I have worked in the coffee industry for nearly 21 years, and my wife is a retired government (public) school teacher. I have never run for political office, and have no intention to do so. I am neither a Republican or a Democrat, and I think the Libertarian party is filled with a bunch of kooks; just look at who they are running in this presidential election. But above all, I am a Christian.
In my blog space, I hope to include a look at what is going on in America through the test of the Bible. I believe that the Bible is the greatest book of all times, and is filled with life instructions and truth. One evidence of that is the book of Proverbs; every moral law in every country in the world can be found in that book. You may see me refer to this book as the "Book of Common Sense".
Also, I will be attacking the apostasy that is taking place in many of our churches today. Some denominations are currently in the process of rewriting the Scriptures through their internal political structures. As I find out about these churches, I will call them to task. I love people, but I am not here to make friends by compromising my beliefs.
My plan is to write in my blog at least once a week. I welcome your opinions, but don't expect me to always agree with you. I cherish instructive criticism, but "I hope you choke on your own vomit" will not get any traction with me. So, onward and upward from here. My first "real" entry will appear later this week, and it will be a re-run of something I sent out to people in my address book two weeks ago. I hope you will find some of my opinions interesting and helpful.
In my blog space, I hope to include a look at what is going on in America through the test of the Bible. I believe that the Bible is the greatest book of all times, and is filled with life instructions and truth. One evidence of that is the book of Proverbs; every moral law in every country in the world can be found in that book. You may see me refer to this book as the "Book of Common Sense".
Also, I will be attacking the apostasy that is taking place in many of our churches today. Some denominations are currently in the process of rewriting the Scriptures through their internal political structures. As I find out about these churches, I will call them to task. I love people, but I am not here to make friends by compromising my beliefs.
