I don't know Ferd, a lot of young folks may think Iraq was a turning point. I know you don't think so, you have clearly stated, but there is a huge part of the population that thinks the war was a colossal blunder. Yet, I'm sure we will have to wait until Nov to see how big that group is.
This is scary to me for more than reason - not just political.
It would appear that these young people have not been grounded in the high moral values of true Christianity, if they would so easily leave the Republican party. It is not perfect, but at this point it is the only party that even supports any semblance of things that should be important to us as Christians. And to support Obama?????? (I can't stand the Clintons - but I'd take Hillary over Obama any day) I don't necessarily agree with McCain - in fact, and he certainly would not have been my first choice on the Republican ticket - however, at some point we have to sometime support the lesser of two (or three evils....)
Just as much as teaching our children doctrine - I believe that we have an obligation to ground them in the TRUE history of our great country and teach them that is is our responsibilities as Christians to stand up for righteousness in this land! IMHO, this country is where we are today because for too many years the people of God stood back and didn't get involved in politics.

Well here I go with the word subjectivity but I think a LOT of Christians and Americans do not objectively look at facts anymore. A young man told me not too long ago that if he could vote he would vote for Obama. I said "why" and his reply was that he thought it was about time we had a black candidate. Never mind what the man believed in. People today tend to think in sound bites. It's sad.
