Election Louisiana Style!



Tactius, I must apologize for shifting the focus on this all important night. Allow me to refocus. This video is a little taste of how about 200 Louisianians feel. The rest feel like the excerpt that follows...
Readers underscore value of life
We have a deep concern about the upcoming presidential election. It is a critical election in the history of our nation.

The most important issue when choosing a candidate is their character and morality. Both major presidential candidates have given their stance on abortion and homosexuality, and they are at opposite sides. If we allow human life to be devalued and destroyed in the womb, and if we allow sexual perversion to redefine marriage, then all other issues will eventually cease to matter as society crumbles and falls. We must refuse to vote for a person or political party that endorses abortion and/or the giving of protected (or even privileged) status to homosexuality. This is more important than the economy, taxes, healthcare, social security, immigration and even national defense.

We urge you to pray for our nation and this important election.

This was an editorial written in Ignatius' and my hometown newspaper.

Let's hope, and if it's your style, pray that whatever happens tomorrow and in the coming days, that it brings our country together. Just because I support one man doesn't mean I have to hate the other. Republicans are not wrong and Democrats are not right, it is only through the combined efforts of all Americans that we can achieve what our founders set out to create.

Oh and a side not about this video. The building in which the band is playing is my grandfather's old office from Opelousas. My grandfather "Reno" was a State Representative and had some close dealings with JFK. He would be proud of what was going on in his old office.

Funny because it's true.
