I su...Leigh, I understand what are you are saying. I suppose it depends on how you define "basically good". There are over 50 million people in this country who consider Obama as a "good" (or even a great) person. Would you consider him a good person? I know for me that anyone who voted against the ban on the killing of babies born alive after botched abortions, who promotes giving women even more access to murdering their children through the FOC act, and has no problem steering our country to a socialist form of gov't is someone who is not only not good but is actively participating in an intrinsic evil. Jesus was not a humanitarian. He came to redeem us of our sin and He knew many would reject His message. Luke 14:51 "Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." Jesus is telling us that in order to achieve true peace - a peace of being united with God - we must not be afraid of losing our superficial ‘peaceful’ relationships. Our purpose in this life is to know, love and serve our Lord and this calls for saving souls. Part of that serving is perform our corporal and spiritual works of mercy. That includes admonishing sinners and informing the ignorant. Yes, of course we should do so with compassion and mercy but we should not be worried about alienating people. This is one reason why our country is in this mess to begin with. Too many Christians, especially Catholics, have silently stood by (worried about offending people) while this secular new world order is trying to take over. Did you know 57% of those who claim to be of the Catholic faith voted for Obama? We have a lot of work to do and we need to pray pray pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary to help intercede on our behalf.

One of my commenters did. I agree with the substance of what you are saying. I'm just tempering my approach a bit more. The us vs. them thing isn't furthering our cause. It's just alienating people as opposed to persuading them. I still believe that people are basically good and that one day, we will eradicate this evil. Call me naive. I really believe it.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06224080040785208938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17836494.post-42512512866423532092008-11-24T00:37:00.000-06:002008-11-24T00:37:00.000-06:00Race was not an issue in this campaign? Are you ki...Race was not an issue in this campaign? Are you kidding me? Race was one of the most important if not THE major issue in this campaign, why do you think the liberal media treated him with kid gloves? While I agree that it is an historic day for this country for a black man to be elected President, the process by which it was accomplished was disgraceful: acorn, incredible media bias, no proper vetting of this man's past such as his associations with known terrorists and socialist/communists, the disgusting attacks on Sarah Palin by feminists and the liberal media, and on and on. This was not politics as usual. Wake up Catholics! We are in a cultural war and the secularists are winning.<BR/>As a Catholic, any historic gain that may have been accomplished by Obama's election will be by far trumped by his pro-death decisions such as promising to pass the freedom of choice act and appointing liberal supreme court judges that will almost assuredly kill any hopes of overturning Roe v. Wade.<BR/>However, as you said he is our President and I will respect the office (unlike liberals who unmercifully trashed President Bush for the past 8 years).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17836494.post-21861404251601634142008-11-08T11:51:00.000-06:002008-11-08T11:51:00.000-06:00Leigh- I have awarded you.You are most gracious in...Leigh- I have awarded you.<BR/>You are most gracious in this letter.

I told him that even though we had voted for McCain, Obama had won the election and that he was our new President and we should support him and respect him. I told him that the beauty of America is that we respect elections. I know that Tim seemed relieved to hear me say that. Who know's what he was thinking before I talked to him. I congratulate Obama and am happy that race was a nonissue in the election, which is how it should be. It is funny, but I don't think my kids notice that Obama is black. I really don't. And that is a great thing.<BR/>--OracleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
