<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'><font style="font-size:10pt;" face="Tahoma" size="2">The assumption that Doug Wilson is a cogent debater, an insightful thinker, a truth-teller, or even a Christian pastor in the sense that the words "Christian" and "pastor" have historically been understood is, indeed, a ridiculous one. Thus, Rose's and Tom's information here should come as no surprise. And if it weren't for the damage done to the Gospel, the post-election prevaricating and sputtering from the Boys' Club will be amusing and full of predictably preening belligerence. <br><br>The thing is, I just somehow refuse to laugh. But I'll go to the polls Tuesday and vote for Nancy Chaney, hoping that the Pompous One's sputtering will have to do with her victory that night.<br><br>Keely Emerine-Mix<br id="FontBreak"></font>www.keelyprevailingwinds.com<br><br><br><div>> From: vision2020-request@moscow.com<br>> Subject: Vision2020 Digest, Vol 89, Issue 11<br>> To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2013 11:58:54 -0700<br>> <br>> Send Vision2020 mailing list submissions to<br>> vision2020@moscow.com<br>> <br>> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br>> http://mailman.fsr.com/mailman/listinfo/vision2020<br>> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br>> vision2020-request@moscow.com<br>> <br>> You can reach the person managing the list at<br>> vision2020-owner@moscow.com<br>> <br>> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>> than "Re: Contents of Vision2020 digest..."<br>> <br>> <br>> Today's Topics:<br>> <br>> 1.

Vote for Murphy, or vote for Schultz, have no place here. The pulpit must never become a place for factional politics, or partisanship. At the same time, the presence of the Church in the world is inescapably political, and this means that if we do not draw the charge of partisanship, we are not doing our job. If we are not drawing the charge of license, we are not really preaching grace. If we are not drawing the charge of fatalism, we are not really preaching God?s rule over all things. So then, in the same way, if the political presence of the Church in the world makes no political difference to those given over to partisanship, then we are not fulfilling our calling rightly.<br>> > <br>> > The outcome of this local race will make a great deal of practical difference to us all over the course of the next few years. The margin of victory in the last mayoral race we had was less than the population of just one of our parishes.

This is a responsibility that you must discharge before God, in a calm and responsible way. You are not to give way to the lies of secular democracy, which want you to treat your vote in some sacramental way, as though it were a sacred thing. It is nothing of the kind. But it is part of your Christian responsibility in seeking the good of the city where you live. This is not complicated.<br>> > <br>> > One last thing.

Let me respond on a simple level, and perhaps defer what I take to be your more serious point for a separate blog post. I grant that I treat Christians who support Republicans differently than I treat Christians who support Democrats. This is because, when it comes to the basic issues, there are many, many bad Republicans. There are no good Democrats.<br>> > On a practical level, I didn't vote for or support Romney. I voted for McCain because of the energy that I thought Palin would bring to the pro-life issue -- which is my screamer issue. I didn't vote for George W either time. And I was investigated by the Idaho Attorney-General's office for six months because a complaint had been filed about a comment I made in Credenda about how I would rather be "dead in a ditch" than vote for Dole/Kemp. I don't remember how I vote with Bush/Qualye the second time, and I think I might have voted for them the first time. I voted for Reagan both times, and am thinking about resuming that practice.?<br>> > http://dougwils.com/s7-engaging-the-culture/a-tishbite-at-the-national-prayer-breakfast.html<br>> > Doug modified in a later post that he apparently meant to say (if you believe the clarification ?

And, this is my point.<br>> > The pretention that local city elections are non-partisan is ridiculous. The GMA (Greater Moscow Association aka Grossly Misleading Association) are currently enjoying the presidency of Bob Hieronymus.
