Miss USA

I heard a gay activist on Bill OReilly say the other day that the reason Miss. California did not win was because she said That she did not agree with gay marriage. OReilly said that this was suppression of her freedom of speech. The activist said that we vote all the time for or against someone based on what they say.
Well I have to agree with the gay guy. We do vote in all kinds of people in all kinds of positions based on what they say and the majority of people who agree with that person vote them into that position. Our President ,who consequently agrees with Miss. California, was voted into office this way. So I got to thinking is this the best way to elect a leader of our country? The person with the best oratory skills wins? Or maybe add a swimsuit portion then maybe McCain/Palin would have won!
Politicians are opportunists. Like a rudderless ship there course changes with the winds of popular opinion. They look for any port that will accept them and to assure this acceptance they blend in with the people who have the loudest voice.
Is this what we Christians are putting our Trust in? Do we really want to trust in people who's worldview depends on getting the majority of votes? Please do not misunderstand me. I am not calling for all Christians to stop voting. I think we should involve our self with politics. If the Bible says that all governments were established by God then that means ours is as well. Even the election of President Obama. And we should pray for him and all his cabinet. And since God has ordained this government, and we can participate in our government, we should. But put your trust not in the politicians but in the Lord Jesus Christ who has ordained them to this position.
