Earlier today I posted what I perceive to be a lack of Christian political bloggers.  In doing so I tried to illustrate the short sightedness I feel most of the sites I come across suffer from.  To clear that up a bit what I was trying to drive at wasn’t that all posts should be these end game posts or where they use the Bible as the trump card on every story.  I feel there is a huge need out there for sites that do follow the issues extremely close, because I feel it is our jobs as Christians to be informed of the issues and news that shape our daily lives. 

With all of that said, I am trying to make this site one that does both, follows current issues closely and at the same time tries to give perspective to the overall picture as it relates to my belief in Christ.  Just wanted to clarify that because after reading the first post a few times I felt as if I was taking a stab at some of the very sites that I read daily and have linked to here, which wasn’t my intention. 

You might think from looking at the title that I am referring to people coming to this site.  I am actually referring to conservative Christian political bloggers.  Granted, I haven’t looked very hard but the sites I do come across seem to be very short sighted; almost as if they can separate religious beliefs from political beliefs or get so caught up in the minutia of the story they lose sight of the long term impact the story will have.  It may seem slightly silly but take for example my previous post on global warming, I could argue all day that the science used to validate man made global warming claims is garbage at best.  The other option, and the one I chose as a Christian, was to take God’s word as the basis for my argument.  Will most every non-believer that sees this site immediately dismiss my global warming claims because I chose the Bible over a science journal?  Yes, actually they will and I completely know that.  I can’t convince anyone that I am right; if I tried it would simply turn into typical partisan debate that seems to be consuming the web.  Instead I believe in laying out the facts as I know them and let the Lord do the rest.  Maybe one in a thousand will have his or her mind changed or heart opened but just even one will make it all worth it.

Ok, so I am obviously pretty new at this blogging thing and I am totally confused. Earlier today I linked to an article on Michelle Malkin’s website and now I show up as a trackback to her article which is really cool.  My problem is the displayed text for this site on the trackback on Michelle’s site is from a post I did a week ago that had nothing to do with her post I linked to today.  It makes it look like I am spamming her site which totally sucks since the link once you click on the text goes to the right article on my site here.  So confused! If anyone comes across this and can let me know where I can change the setting that is showing the trackback wrong I would greatly appreciate the assistance!!
