I wrote the following comment to another blog entry written by the articulate and thoughtful rightascension and thought I might use it as an entry of my own.  His point, or at least part of it, was that maybe Utahns need to  reconsider re-electing  party-first leaders who seem to blindly support the war in Iraq.  Click HERE to go to rightascension's original entry.  The following is my comment to his entry:

Is it possible for people, so accustomed to not asking questions, to doubt that our nation and its leaders are being led by God?  Don't things happen for a reason?  Why should we try to control what God has ordained?  We don't have to think, just pick the party that invokes diety the most and then vote straight ticket.

Even if the war seems like a mistake, maybe it's a chance to send missionaries there. Isn't it time we had some martyrs of our own?

Stop rocking our boat. If it had been Clinton who got us into this mess you may have had a point.  He belongs to that godless party.  Those who rely on the arm (or other parts) of flesh must be watched more closely.

As a sidenote, Tuesday evening the Utah County Democratic Convention will be held in the Provo City Council Chambers at 7 PM.  There will be a Women's Caucus at 6 PM.  I think all are invited but I would hope that no one would come and try to hijack or republicanize the debate.  Utah Democrats are clinging to the center as it is and don't need anymore tugs from the right.

If you're interested in viewing voting preferences in a very UNscientific webpoll,or better yet, if you wish to voice your own voting preference, go to my Political and Social Issues site.

I hope only the offensive are offended by my lifting the title of this entry from Isaiah...or was it Handel?
