Mike Huckabee has been my favorite candidate from the start, but this video puts him over the top in my vote. Please, if you live in a state that has a less confusing system than Washington, figure out how to vote for Mike. If you live in Washington, your vote may or may not count anyway, depending on your preferred style of voting. Seriously, we may be becoming the new Florida up here, I'm so confused my head may explode. I see that Huckabee is challenging the caucuses, but I didn't think they counted anyway. Whatever, on to the video:
Thanks to Josh from morethandodgeball.com for this video.

I guess I'm a raging liberal now
Well, it's true, I've gone over to the darkside and there's no coming back. Thanks to Judy Rich for blogging about this survey, I found it's results both interesting and disturbing at the same time. It appears that I have the most things in common with Hillary, but some of the things I agree with her on I don't consider very important. So now I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I think the big issue that I agree with her on is Universal Health Care. I think that when I marked that down I probably pushed her over the top. Here are the results of my test and a link so you can take it yourself. Let me know how you score!
Below are the candidates ranked by how much you agree with their stances.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
Here's a couple quick thoughts for you today, enjoy!
I stumbled across this cool looking video trailer today. Ben Stein (I had no idea he was a Christian) is creating a documentary that talks about the "blacklisting" that is occurring of Creation Scientists. In the video he makes the point that if darwinists were confidant in their own views, they wouldn't feel the need to squash creationists. I can't speak to any sort of conspiracy that's happening, but why won't they let creation science be taught in a public school class room?
In other news on the creationist front, an article was published recently by a New England newspaper that criticized Creationists. Here is a quote from Ken Ham, Founder of Answers in Genesis, that he posted on his blog:

In other news on the creationist front, an article was published recently by a New England newspaper that criticized Creationists. Here is a quote from Ken Ham, Founder of Answers in Genesis, that he posted on his blog:
In a mocking news piece by a well-known columnist with a New England paper, the writer discusses the election and statements made by one candidate indicating his belief in Creation. The columnist then makes statements concerning the belief that the Creation Week in Bible was seven literal days:
It’s wrong. Dead wrong.
Seven days is wrong, even as a metaphor.
Seven days is wrong as duration.
Seven days is wrong as sequence.
Then, obviously to imply they should not be allowed to do so, he says, “These people vote.”
I think it's important to see the battle lines being drawn all around us, but standing up and complaining won't help anything. If we want to see the tide change in our post-christian society, the answer lies not in political rallies but in prayer meetings. We will change our country on our knees.-Jeff-
