I believe you&#039;re right on all points.
&lt;p&gt;
You didn&#039;t spend much time talking about race, which I think will become more - not less - of a divisive issue in the next four years. The primary voting block in this election was not evangelicals, not the hard-core conservatives, not the soccer moms - it was African Americans.  This is not how Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed it would be. Instead of his dream of a day when a man would be judged by the content of his character, the voters today judged a presidential candidate by the color of his skin.  And I&#039;m afraid it won&#039;t stop now.
&lt;p&gt;
This will be a field day for all of the conservative talk shows and those on the religious right with radio and TV shows - until President Obama puts in the new FCC Chairman and dictates the Fairness Doctrine again. Then we&#039;ll have a fight to the Supreme Court -- and hopefully that happens before President Obama gets to name two more justices.  That&#039;s our only chance of still having a free broadcasting system in the US.
&lt;p&gt;
Pray for our new President, Congress, and for our nation. We are in for a ride.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I am so mad right now I don&#039;t know what to do with myself. The only word that comes to my mind is &quot;Cool Aid&quot;. I guess that is two words.  Christians have voted for Hate crimes and fairness doctrine.... Real change is certainly upon us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our ministry objective and media planning efforts will not be the same this time next year. We will be preparing our clients accordingly &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One month ago, I was in Washington with the NRB President&#039;s council group, and I they briefed us on what was going to happen if Obama was elected, I didn&#039;t really think it was going to happen. Fairness is anything but fair, Hate crimes speech has nothing to do with hate and everything to do with controlling the pulpit&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Phil,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before the self-righteous machinery of some broadcasting pastors gets revved up in overdrive, consider this point I&#039;ve been trying to make for years:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many broadcast leaders use shenanigans to get their money and power while preaching the gospel.  These shenanigans can be described as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP.  But their shenanigans are not limited to just NLP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My warning has been that these shenanigans poorly prepare sheep, because some day a better shenanigan politician might come along.  Well, he has... and I believe the shenanigan broadcasters have much to repent of. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Until some brave broadcast pastors teach how to see spiritually, and give examples of the NLP shenanigans pastors use, and enlighten sheep how not to be taken in by such wolves in sheep&#039;s clothing; well... broadcast pastors cannot really help the sheep they blind so effectively see anything a politician is so also doing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beezlebub cannot cast out Beezlebub.  Now, who said that? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Phil,</p>
<p>Before the self-righteous machinery of some broadcasting pastors gets revved up in overdrive, consider this point I&#39;ve been trying to make for years:</p>
<p>Many broadcast leaders use shenanigans to get their money and power while preaching the gospel.  These shenanigans can be described as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP.  But their shenanigans are not limited to just NLP.</p>
<p>My warning has been that these shenanigans poorly prepare sheep, because some day a better shenanigan politician might come along.  Well, he has&#8230; and I believe the shenanigan broadcasters have much to repent of. </p>
<p>Until some brave broadcast pastors teach how to see spiritually, and give examples of the NLP shenanigans pastors use, and enlighten sheep how not to be taken in by such wolves in sheep&#39;s clothing; well&#8230; broadcast pastors cannot really help the sheep they blind so effectively see anything a politician is so also doing.</p>
<p>Beezlebub cannot cast out Beezlebub.  Now, who said that? </p>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Isn&#039;t it interesting how confused we are as a nation. I think America voted last night for greater freedom, perhaps without thinking all the issues through. I know it was one of the first elections in which I was personally insulted for voting based on my own values and convictions. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think these are excessively interesting times in which we live. Come, Lord Jesus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Now that Obama has won the election you all talk as though God&#039;s hands are tie and He is incapable of moving.  Get over yourselves and just pray.  God is still in control.  Pray without ceasing.  Giving thanks.  Not one person who commented gave thanks to God.  I give glory to God for this country. I give glory to God that he is the alpha and the omega.  God can move in Obama&#039;s life....has he moved in yours?  Gee--who said we are to pray for our leaders....are you praying or running scared? &lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Blocking the re-imposition of the fairness doctrine seems like a good way for Obama to reach out to many of those who did not for vote for him. He has even said he does not support it.  I think broadcasters across the board will fight it.  Having been the program director of a rock radio station when it was on the books, I can tell you it was a real pain to try to figure out when you were in compliance.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Lady - You wrote: &quot;Now that Obama has won the election you all talk as though God&#039;s hands are tie and He is incapable of moving. Get over yourselves and just pray. God is still in control. Pray without ceasing. Giving thanks. Not one person who commented gave thanks to God. I give glory to God for this country. I give glory to God that he is the alpha and the omega. God can move in Obama&#039;s life....has he moved in yours? Gee--who said we are to pray for our leaders....are you praying or running scared?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With all due respect, I think you comment is unfair.  Each of the individuals who posted here are stating facts and are sharing their thoughts and feelings after Obama&#039;s win.  They are entitled to do so and don&#039;t deserved to be judged or demeaned.  This kind of response to fellow Christians is what keeps those outside of the faith...outside.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While I agree with you that we need to be praying, I feel that your comment to &quot;get over yourself&quot; is legalistic and unsympathetic.  Last&#039;s night loss was a serious blow to many of us and it may take a day or two for us to regain our balance.  Supporting each other and coming together to explore new possibilities for the tough times ahead seems a much more positive and beneficial tactic then to tell people they are &quot;running scared.&quot;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To that end, being a little scared is not a bad thing.  It is what we do when we are scared that makes a difference.  For me, I will not give up.  I will continue fighting with my words, my activism and my principles.  I will stand for America.  Lastly, I will continue to believe that God has a plan and choose to be in it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To my fellow friends and brothers and sisters in Christ.  Last night wasn&#039;t the end.  It was the beginning of a new conservative movement.  One that thinks outside the box to solved the many issues America is facing and one that views America as a whole.  It is a movement that is no longer filled with politicians who are self-focused and career defensive.  It is one that will return to it founding principles, stretch its tent pegs to includes new principles and new people, as well as return government to an organization that does the people&#039;s bidding.  Today IS a new day in America and we can can choose to be part of it or to stand on the side lines and watch it slip away. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What we choose to do today will impact how we live tomorrow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>I agree with the postings, and I, too, am recovering from the blow...it reminds me of the Hebrew nation choosing their first new king: Saul.  God allowed it, but certainly not the best choice.  People were mesmerized by him and fell for it.  I keep reminding myself that God will take care of us, his children, and not the president.  The Lord is in control, not Obama.  However, let&#039;s pray for Obama, just as Paul wrote to Timothy, so we can live in peace, and let&#039;s pray for the church to wake up, and make a difference.  As the poster above said, we&#039;re in for a ride... may God save America... and may Dominique&#039;s last paragraph be true...</description>

The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4 For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. 8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. 11 And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; color: maroon; font-family: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Sorry if you were offended.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I love the Lord, His word, His kingdom and we are children of the most High God.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I live for the kingdom.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;People confuse themselves thinking that their preference or culture defines the kingdom.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-style: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Stay encouraged. All is well, everything is safe, and everything is as it should be.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description>

		<description>This elections has shown that many Christians who are not of African or Asian background still have to deal with the race issue. I wonder what would happen if they had been the ones who had been physically and mentally ostracized by society and then one of their own skin colour had risen to the ranks depsite the overwhelming odds? Please, would have McCain made a better choice? Regardless of who won this election we as believers still need to pray for the person - it is in the Scriptures and it was written by a guy who really did not care about living the dream in this life. One thing is for sure this was going to happen sooner or later it was just matter of when. I believe this is a lesson for all oppressors out there that the tables will turn and you may not like it when that happens - so treat people with respect regardless of their present condition. On a serious note God is neither Democrat or Republican and I think He is both conservative and liberal (please not in the political sense) and red &amp; blue are colours He made.</description>

I wonder what would happen if they had been the ones who had been physically and mentally ostracized by society and then one of their own skin colour had risen to the ranks depsite the overwhelming odds? Please, would have McCain made a better choice? Regardless of who won this election we as believers still need to pray for the person &#8211; it is in the Scriptures and it was written by a guy who really did not care about living the dream in this life. One thing is for sure this was going to happen sooner or later it was just matter of when. I believe this is a lesson for all oppressors out there that the tables will turn and you may not like it when that happens &#8211; so treat people with respect regardless of their present condition. On a serious note God is neither Democrat or Republican and I think He is both conservative and liberal (please not in the political sense) and red &#038; blue are colours He made.</p>
