I'm a Christian conservative who loves Adam Lambert's talent and the cool way he looks, whether rocker or Elvis-style. I liked Kris Allen, but thought Adam should win. And guess what?...
Not taking this argument at all at issue as a fundamentally biblical position also with respect to loving thy neighbor as thyself without regard to sex, orientation, racial or any other reason - the fact that you indicated that the Christian population voted for Obama because they were more worried about the economy has me as another Christian a bit concerned. I didn't vote for Obama or McCain for the simple reason that neither one has held with our intended form of government, and that is our Constituion. And in so doing, all the problems could be resolved relatively quickly.
The government needs to get out of the economic manipulations it has in the past in conjunction with our unlawfully privatized banking system under the Fed, and in the "jobs creation," idea that is nowhere found in our Constitution at all - and get off the citizens backs in their unlawfully laws and statutes which are against the very freedoms those founders fought and died for.
So I hope you in the future as a fellow Christian begin to look at these issues and start reading our Constitution, since it seems few young people have had any education in it at all since the baby boomer generation.
Great points and opinions made in this article. I agree with you 100%. Adam was a standout from the beginning of the season. His career will probably go further that much faster now because he WAS NOT the American Idol.
Dear Ross, I believe you misread my article. I said MANY Christians voted for Obama due to the economy - I did not say "the Christian population" voted for Obama due to the economy! Second, you have assumed I am a "younger generation who does not read the Constitution." That's very funny, I am a baby boomer who is always telling people the same thing! We must know what our Constitution says. Why did you assume I do not, and where in the world did you make the connection between my piece on Adam Lambert and going into all that stuff about our government and the banking system? I tried to deliver this message with great compassion for the gay community. You have approached it from the same old judgmental standpoint that people assume the Christian church will take, full of assumptions. That's sad.
I’m a devout Christian and mother of two music-loving boys, and I must ask: What is wrong with America? America’s vote for Kris Allen, or America’s vote against Adam Lambert, seems to be a hate vote against the various sectors of society that Adam appears to stand for. People lost respect of the fact that American Idol is a singing talent competition open to all -- straight or gay, Christian or Jewish, clean-cut or flamboyant glam, etc. Voters forgot that it is not a popularity contest for class of persons — neither an arena to battle for coalition leadership nor grounds to crusade for a religious revival. In Season 8, Kris demonstrated that he is a skilled musician and an outstanding vocalist; but Adam consistently proved to be the amazingly innovative vocal artist and the versatile singer, gifted with a powerful voice. Adam deserved to win. Even visibly perplexed Kris acknowledged this glaring truth in his Christian heart so that he openly asserted in public that “Adam deserves this. I’m sorry…” when he was unexpectedly handed the undeserved title. So many seconds passed before bewildered Kris finally acquiesced to receive the undeserved crown, but only after Adam graciously approached to place a brotherly arm around his room mate’s shoulder in a gesture of encouragement. Hello, brothers and sisters -- American Idol is a singing contest and Adam Lambert is the real winner! I should also ask: What is wrong with Fox TV’s American Idol show that they instigate such warped controversies and divisiveness to occur at a time like this?
Thank you, ALambe, I totally agree. Did you read the full text of my article? Because it doesn't sound like you realize we are in agreement.
