It's been a while

Today was election day, 2008. It was a beautiful day here in northern Kentucky. Kentucky does NOT have early voting, which I think is best. It just seems to me it's too easy to have false results when you can vote everyday for two weeks prior to the actual election day, which I believe is SUPPOSED TO BE the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Not the last two weeks of October up to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

I also think we should use the Iraqi system to make sure no one votes more than once. I mean, when a city has more people voting than are in their actual ADULT population, there's something wrong there. If we used the Iraqi system where you put you finger in indelible ink, ink that won't wash off for 30 days, it would be very easy to make sure no one votes more than once. At least part of the various fraudulent voting would be eliminated. I wouldn't mind wearing a blue finger for a few weeks, I'd wear it proudly, more proudly than that little sticker they give you.

So, it was a beautiful day. I made it to the polling place. Alan worked the polls today and he was exhausted when he got home as it was quite a day here in KY as far as turn out goes. I walked right through, no long line at all. I checked in with my PHOTO ID, went right to a booth and pushed the touch screen. Another thing that bothers me. I think we should have the old fashioned ballots where you mark it with a pencil and fold it and place it in a ballot box. And YOU HAVE TO SIGN YOUR NAME TO IT.

I also had a fibro flare up today and so I've been in a lot of pain all over my body all day long. I didn't sleep last night at all. Alan had to get up at 4 a.m. to get to the polling place by 5 a.m. and I had to get up to make his lunch and get his coffee ready and the thermos filled. Then I couldn't get to sleep after that. Don't know whether it was anxiety or excitement. I didn't sleep all day either -- I hurt too much.

And now, it's 10:20 p.m. Barak Husein Obama has been elected, and the SS will be collected in the next few weeks. I hope you all read about his idea to have a non-military military to control the citizenry -- hmmm I thought that was the job of the National Guard, not a new brown-shirt type police body. That's what has me most irritated about this whole election -- the suppression of so much of what Mr. Obama really believes should be the way this country should be run and changed over to Communism, clear and simple -- skip the socialism. His plans sound so Hitlerian to me.

However, that said, he is the president. He is the person God has ordained to be the President for this time, and as such we are to respect him. Believe me, I will be praying for him every day.

Take heart, folks. If this is the end of the USA as us older folks know and love it, so be it. The Lord's return is close. Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To HIM (the Christ) be all honor and glory. Amen.
