Before you vote, read this
posted by robert - November 6th, 2006 at 2:13 PMOrson Scott Card has made a post about tomorrow’s election and his thoughts on what is at stake. It is longish, my rushed readers, but well worth your time.
A sample:
There is only one issue in this election that will matter five or ten years from now, and that’s the War on Terror.
And the success of the War on Terror now teeters on the fulcrum of this election.
If control of the House passes into Democratic hands, there are enough withdraw-on-a-timetable Democrats in positions of prominence that it will not only seem to be a victory for our enemies, it will be one.
Unfortunately, the opposite is not the case — if the Republican Party remains in control of both houses of Congress there is no guarantee that the outcome of the present war will be favorable for us or anyone else.
But at least there will be a chance.
I say this as a Democrat, for whom the Republican domination of government threatens many values that I hold to be important to America’s role as a light among nations.
Outstanding, outstanding read.

Great article, and great timing on posting it. It’s good to see there are Democrats out there who still have their head on their shoulders.

This article was the talk of the conservative radio shows today, election day, but I’m afraid that the sentiment expressed is too little, too late. Don’t forget to pray for our country, today, and every day.
