I have done a lot of research; checking and rechecking the facts as best I can and have found both candidates to be lacking. So in this imperfect world I will vote for the imperfect candidate. To be honest, I think I made my decesion sometime last year when I visited the site for Mr. Obama's church. This was before all the brew ha ha and the site had been changed. I was just dumbfounded at what I read. I thought to myself, what type of reaction the statements on the church's site would have gotten if that was a white church. Please believe me when I tell you that I am not a racially prejudice person but prejudice is what I saw when I went to that site.

Once the stuff hit the fan and the public found out about what was said at the site and that Mr. Obama had been a member there for more than 20 years, he withdrew his support from the minister and tried to distance himself from him. You will never convince me that he did not agree with the teachings of his own church. No one made him become a member. The double standard that was set by all of this just irks the hell out of me.

Yes there are other issues that I considered in making my selection but the sum of his leadership qualities were outweighed by McCain's. And I would like to say that, until now, I have not voiced my opinion on the candidates and come out in support of McCain. I have noticed throughtout the many sites that I belong to, a tendancy of some Obama supporters to be down right nasty towards McCain supporters. I have not gotten that way of those in support of Obama. I think that I am more prone to listen to an argument in support of a candidate if the arguement is presented in an imformative way.

From abuses against all people, tradictions and knowledge forms.

From abuses against women, in religions´way or others.

From abuses against children, in sublimes stimulus´ways and neuro language for create soldiers without mind.

From beats, stonning, caned, humiliation, done against this children, women and researchers. From precious arts, destroyed by fire in Alexandria, and Catolic Inquisition, or Protestant Madness, or all forms of dogma that rule the world for this pain and suffering.

It´s a time for give a finish in all this things. It´s a time for attitude.

To all people that opose to all forms of control, fanaticism and dogma.

To all people that wait a hope for life, for a future that the rule will be honor and personal ability, and the specter of mendicant corruption and the crawlling, that much destruction, with this historical lies have been did, will be eliminated from world´s face.

It´s a time for correct answer.

Merry Meet everyone. I was invited by Lady Anastasia. I think this is really great. I am very political and believe that is we as Pagans want to be taken seriously, we need to start getting involved poltically.

Anyone have thoughts on how Paganism has an impact on American Politics?
I honestly don't believe that this is as much of an issue as the majority of you might believe. Yes, Bush has said some harsh things against Paganism, but that didn't stop his administration from approving the Pentacle for use on service members' tombstones.

But enough bleating on an ending presidency. Has anyone heard either McCain or Obama speak even the slightest whisper about Paganism? All of my attention has been devoted to listening for (futilely) their plans for Veterans.

I feel that alternative spiritual paths are becoming more accepted. And will continue to find more acceptance as the illusion of Time passes. Christianity has always had to compromise to stay afloat. Meaning-what some Christians believe and practice today would have been totally unacceptable years ago to the fundamentalist. As humanity moves along and new ideas, discoveries, etc, are conceived-I feel the general global consciousness expands and opens to things that it previously was shut to. No one is really shocked any longer with the idea of Wicca, etc.

In my opinion, we haven't swung far enough to the left. Our leaders are not nearly liberal enough, but we are moving in a better direction. No one in this country should have to go without the basics like: food, shelter, healthcare, and education.

Peace & Health,
