A person belonging to an ethnic group whose members are commonly considered
to have certain stereotypical mannerisms met another person belonging to a
different ethnic group with a different set of imputed stereotypical
mannerisms.
The first person acted in a manner consistent with the stereotypes
associated with his ethnic group, and proceeded to make a remark which might
be considered to establish conclusively his membership in that group,
whereupon his companion proceeded to make a remark with a double meaning,
the first meaning of which could be interpreted to indicate his agreement
with his companion, but the other meaning of which serves to corroborate his
membership in his particular ethnic group.
Of course, the first person took offense at his remark, and reacted in a
stereotypical way!

"Cast Your Vote"
-----------------------------
At the end of his famous Gettysburg Address in 1863, Abraham Lincoln
proclaimed, "...this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that
this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth." With those words, President Lincoln described
what makes the United States of America so unique. Citizens participate
freely in the political process in a land free from tyranny and
oppression. Individuals like you and me are empowered to give direction
to local, state, and national policies. Our involvement determines who
will assume places of leadership at all levels of government and how we
as a nation will handle issues at home and abroad. Indeed, we are a
government of the people, by the people, for the people. This will
remain so, however, only as long as we continue to take our place in
the process.
While the Assemblies of God does not endorse any particular government
or political party, we do recognize that civil government is ordained
by God and should be supported by all citizens, including Christians.
"The authorities that exist have been established by God," Paul wrote
in Romans 13:1. He indicated that they are there to do us good and that
they are His servants. As such they deserve our support.
We support elected officials with our votes and our prayers. Even if we
are not pleased with the officials that are elected, we are to pray for
them. Paul instructed that "requests, prayer, and intercession and
thanksgiving be made for everyone--for kings and all those in
authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness
and holiness" (1 Timothy 2:2).
At the voting booth on Tuesday, November 5, you will have opportunity
to vote for your candidates of choice. You will encounter a variety of
propositions and other issues that touch many areas of life. Being
informed about the candidates as well as the issues will help you vote
intelligently and responsibly. Take time to listen and read. Make your
votes a matter of prayer. Ask God to direct you.
Although many ills plague our land, there is no other nation on the
face of the earth like the United States of America. We enjoy many
wonderful liberties and privileges. That is due, in large measure, to
our participatory form of government and the influence of godly and
moral people who have taken their places in the political processes.
Many have determined to make a difference where they can.
Take your place at the polls this Tuesday for the honor of God and
country.
Your brother in Christ,
Thomas Trask
General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God.
