Posted at 7:30 pm on November 18, 2016 by Andrea Ruth

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I’ve written more than that combined here, here and here. But for anyone who is still on the fence on whether the Electoral College should be abandoned for the popular vote, maybe this will help:

They will never change this system. It gives the fly over states protection from beehive socialist societies on the left and right coasts.

It is part of the system of checks and balances that was written into our constitution and is still effective to this day..

Cry on democrats, it ain't going to happen....

With the GOP in control of so many states right now you would think constitutional amendments would be the last thing democrats want.

I wish they'd have superimposed major cities over the states, because the disparity is even greater if you include that.

Do you really want a replay of Palm Beach County 2000 in every county in America next election?



Voter fraud?  You ain't seen nothing yet.  With any close election, the Democrats will always be able to find enough votes in Hawaii to put them over the top.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.
