I am hoping and praying the new President and his Administration can live up to its many promises. Lord knows, the challenges are big, and it will take a wise man and a strong leader to get our country through these difficult times. I hope we all pray for his daily protection, and guidance. While I did not vote for him, he now has my full support as a citizen, and as a believer in God and the spiritual forces at work. This is the greatest country on God's green earth, and lets hope it stays that way. While concerned, and upset at alot of things that take place in the USA, I am still proud to be an American. That being said, check out some info that I stumbled across:
Some unreported stats about the 2008 election. Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:
-Number of States won by: Democrats: 20; Republicans: 30
-Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000; Republicans: 2,427,000
-Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million; Republicans: 143 million
-Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2; Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in rented or government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..." Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
Interesting.....and a little scary.
Here is hoping you and yours have a blessed Christmas season and a great New Year. God Bless America! Psalm 115:14, 15

Ryan reading right-wing information from republicans is like getting left-wing information from Michael Moore...its all biased, and biased information isn't information at all. Obama won by 10 million votes I believe, so that hole county study where the counties totaled more than what ever it was, is wrong, because how could that be possible if Obama had 10m more votes than McCain. And the hole murder rate per square mile thing is slander. How many more people will be killed per square mile of land? New York City with like 10million people packed into one small island or small farm town Nebraska? Its common sense that needs to intervine when biased propoganda is presented. I hope Obama does well too, I think hes turning out better than I even hoped because I was right when I voted for Obama's legacy and not his liberal party. He ran on the democratic party and off liberal ideas, why? Because thats what the people wanted to hear. Every politician runs to appease the masses, it doesn't mean they intend to act on them. Look at G. Bush, he ran off small govt., lower taxes for the little guy, and not having the US police the rest of the world. Most politicians run of their own agenda, not party ideology or what have you, the reason why I voted for Obama is because I knew he wouldn't be the liberal pyscho he showed us in the campaign, he's not going to run his presidency off ideology, he's going to run it for a legacy. Obama is not interested in health care or getting us out of Iraq in particular, he is interested in his legacy because it is his one responsibility for the black community and the US's status in general. He will do what is necessay to fix all the problems the US has and try to leave a lasting propsperity for Americans. If he doesn't then he will be a failure to the US and the black community, which I think he personally wont accept. He will do everything to avaiod failure.
Hey Ryan do you ever fish at that spot below the Nimbus Damn, I drive by there on my way to work in Cameron Park and can only guess the awesome fish those guys are catching down there, if you do I want to set up a time to go down there and try it out. Have good christ's mass (I learned thats where the word came from on the history channel...Christ mass= christmas)
