For those who think the Honduran Government went beyond its powers to oust the former President Zelaya, please watch the following video.
Our United States President is showing his true colors when he sided with Chavez to condemn the actions of the Honduran Government and that is because President Obama is sympathetic with socialistic dictators rather than true democratic forms of government.
I continue to pray that God will grant the Hondurans a leader who would truly have the people's best at heart. I continue to pray that God will grant the Hondurans freedom from tyranny and a lasting peace. May the Gospel of Jesus Christ continue to be spread throughout Hond

Looks like that video makes its case pretty well. I'd like to hear from Zelaya's side just to be fair, but if he truly violated the national constitution, then it seems like an open and shut case to me. When power becomes more about control than the proper use of authority then it becomes truly frightening.
And Byron, that last statement is not only true of governments but it is also true of Conventions, Churches or where ever.
Luke, I didn't tell you I agree. But I do. So, when are you going to post again? (hint, hint)
Bryon,
I guess soon. In the middle of VBS this week. I have also been trying to find data on how millenial views affect one's take on societies current events. In other words, does a particular millenial view tend to be optimistic, pessimistic etc. I have not searched Amazon for a book of that nature 'cause quite frankly, I was hoping to have it free from the internet.
However, I can state my opinion and it is this...
1. Premil tend to view society with pessimism.
2. Amil tend to view society with optimism.
3. Post-Mil I do not have a bias about yet.
So that is what I conclude from simple observation. But no "concrete" evidence to back it up.
I do know that of those three the Post-Mill is the most optimistic. They basically believe from what I understand that the entire Earth will be saturated by the gospel, that Christianity will greatly influence all societies and governments for the better, and eventually the Church will enter a theological golden age at the end of which Christ will return. Amill is not quite as optimistic though as that, I guess. I'm not sure what I am, exactly. But I'm sure it's over 85% Amill. :)
Byron,
Thanks for your input there. The reason I find this interesting is that I have a theory that the "pessimistic" are going to vote more "republicanish" while the "optimists" are going to vote more "democratish". Thus, the more conservative are more pessimistic while the more liberal are more optimistic. Quite a theory huh?! I just don't have enough information at the moment to confirm my theory.
That's an interesting theory (I tend to think along similar lines). Only, in my opinion, the optimism and pessimism seem to be defined in terms of human ability/inability to channel humanity towards positive goals. I'm more optimistic and humanist (NOT secular humanist, but humanist in terms of charity and peacemaking activities) than I was. However, I try to remind myself that the Bible is 100% accurate concerning human nature: all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Somehow, I don't think that any human will break this pattern outside of Christ.
Byron,
So my next theory would be, that optimists voted for Obama and pessimists did not. I think that may be a little harder to prove.
Also, while we are on the subject of society. Did you know that Jesus actually taught AGAINST socialism? Yep, He sure did. He said to take the talent away from the lazy one and give it to the man who had more. No how is that for the reverse of Socialism?
By the way, I like being able to bounce ideas out without being pounded. Thanks.
Luke
Wow. I never thought of it that way. BUT---(squirm, wiggle, squirm)---I think that has more to do with spiritual good works than political socialism, because the context really is spiritual, right?
But I do agree with you. Ephesians 4:28 says, "Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth." I think this means that charity is certainly good, but not handouts. Believers are expected to work and be fruitful. I have heard this called the Protestant Work Ethic.
hahahaha. You made me chuckle there. And while I agree there the context has spiritual application, it was within the physical context. I just thought it interesting to pose it in the light I did.
Got a hot topic about to be touched on. Just did a little reading and it struck me as silly.
