...Because those without swords can still die upon them...

Banner for the Eowyn Voters League


I was trolling for new reading materiels...not that all of your blogs are not the best and I love reading them but I do look for new things and stumbled upon this conservative issues blog called "The Respendent Mango". While I may not agree on everything that Katie writes I do like the direction that she goes in...

On the blog was this banner. I loved the Lord of the Rings, and while not a groupee I find a lot of good things in the tales of the Ring Bearer and the great Quest...and I loved Eowyn

Using Eowyn as an icon for defending the homeland as a woman is a good idea and I like it, We as women need to understand that sometimes blood must be shed for the common good. Agree or disagree, this is how it has been and will continue to be until Our Lord brings His kingdom to this earth to rule and reign. Until then the homeland must be defended. Our peace is bought with a price, both the peace in the here and now as well as the future Peace of the rule of the Prince of Peace.

So I have asked to join the Eowyn Voters League and will post the banner. For me Homeland Security and the war is what is directing my vote, as well as other conservative causes.

I must also say that it has always been my position that voting is the second most important civic duty that you can perform, the first being military or some type of volunteer service like the Peace Corps. I dont want to say vote this way or that, but some candidates really get my blood boiling... But no matter what, vote. We had record low turnouts saturday at our primaries and county elections. People were voted in with tiny fractions of total registered voters voting. I think that is sad. We miss an opportunity that most in this world would love to enjoy a free and fair election. Let us utilize this great blood bought gift.

And to the Peaceniks and those that would besmirch the good name of our service men and women, what is written on this banner is a warning.

"Those without swords can still die upon them..." It happens every day!
