Current US population - 306,094,058
http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html
I pulled the following from the US Census Bureau website, http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/voti... (the most recent statistics I could find was 2006 data):
201,073,000 - US Citizens, 18 years old and older
135,847,000 – Registered Voters, US Citizens, 18 years old and
Only 67.6% of US Citizens, 18 years and older, are registered to vote.
CNN report of 2008 Presidential election popular vote, http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/presiden... (rounded for easier math):
66,822,000 votes - Obama
58,344,000 votes - McCain
So, adding those numbers together, approximately 125,166,000 US Citizens, 18 years and older, voted in 2008 Presidential election.
Only 62% of US Citizens, 18 years old and older, voted in the 2008 election.
33% of US Citizens, 18 years old and older, voted for Obama
29% of US Citizens, 18 years old and older, voted for McCain
What about the other 38% of US citizens, 18 years old and older, that didn’t vote? What do they want? Why didn't they vote?
29% of McCain voters plus 38% of non-voters equal 67% of America. 67% of American that didn't sign-on for this type of 'change'.

I strongly feel our government has become a 'worldly church’, pushing away from the Constitution. I also feel our current government assumes it was given the right to ‘create’ each and every Americans’ life, liberty and pursuit of happiness vs. PROTECTING each and every Americans’ personal freedoms and encouraging each American to create, for him/herself, life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Most liberals agree there must be a separation of church and state, so why do liberals encourage/demand our government to act as the church, providing for the needy, sick, widowed, orphaned, oppressed, etc?
The problem, as I see it, a 'worldly church' creates fluctuating standards to match the ever-changing human rationalization(s). What I mean, when we don't answer to something higher than ourselves, we become selfish and arrogant, looking out for our own self-interests, without truly considering the long-term consequences of each decision we make. Weak worldly standards/rationalizations will corrupt justice (or fairness as Obama often speaks of), because for justice to work efficiently, standards must be absolute/unchanging. Once you have absolute standards (comes from answering to a higher power) justice prevails, whereas worldly standards (changing standards) lead to injustice and chaos. What I am witnessing, as we turn more and more to worldly standards, is our country pulling apart and crumbling.
It is time for personal responsibility to take the foreground. It is time to refocus our attention to absolute standards, but also understanding we can only control ourselves. Remember, we will fall short following Godly standards, more times than not, but we must get back up, dust ourselves off, learn from our mistakes and persistently move forward.
