Are you that offended, Rick, that Grungy and I can be friends despite our political beliefs? Or is it the fact that I rather follow God's path, and not the path you think God has for me. Just remember, not every one understands what God's way is.
The fact is, God has a reason for Obama to be in office at this time. He also knows the days and hours that every kingdom will rise and every kingdom will fall. To sit here and state that "OHHHHHHHH, this man is an evil man and therefore can not be place in such a position by God", is a falsehood. Don't believe me, then look at 1st and 2nd Samuel, 1st and 2nd Kings, and 1st and 2nd Chronicles. Each King, whether that of Isreal, Judeah, or of another country, was appointed by God for certain reasons: some to bring His justice, some to share His mercy, but ALL to bring Glory to God. And while you may not like it, Obama as the President is planned by God, and yes, somehow it with bring Glory to God. Everything, the good and bad, works to reveal the true nature of our God.

I agree with everything you just said Violakat.
But remember, judgement begins at the house of the Lord.
Because He has to requite the innocent blood. - (because His love is unconditional)
So kings and presidents and prime ministers are important, in that they shape the direction a nation is going.
So judgement truly does in the end show God is the only immutable one, (it gives Him glory).
But obedience glorifies Him without having to tear down nations for the shedding of innocent blood.

It's the lack of knowledge of proper punctuation that made you think he couldn't possibly be a native American-English speaker.

Hint #1: Learn the difference between a comma , and a period .
An "ellipsis" is used to show a pause in thought. It is usually three periods (or "dots") strung together. Like this ...
At the end of a sentence, an ellipsis can have four dots, because the last one serves as the period to show the end of the sentence....
Commas are never strung together for any reason.
Yes, in almost all forms of writing, rules of grammar have been pretty much thrown out the window. I understand that rules change and morph over time, and that one should not be too strict in forcing such rules on others. But there must be some minimal standards, I think, just for understanding one another. I can deal with the cyber speak like "LOL" and "IMHO" and whatever else you want to use. But seriously, folks, if no one knows what you're saying, it ceases to be communication, and it might as well be a monkey banging on a keyboard for all the good it does.

"We the People", over here in the U.S.A.; rejected the empire because it taxed us without hearing our grievances.
We rebelled because your king(over there), treated us like slaves.
We came to an understanding(your King and us); through muskets, cannons, and bloodshed.
I, for one, am trying my hardest not to let it happen again. - (By supporting sound government; and eschewing socialism).
