Can we see this as a chance that God can bring good out of ther bad?

Yes. They are opposed to everything good America stands for.
It will not cause that.
They are lawless.
They stole the election quite illegally, they have put apparatchicks in place to preclude rule of law.
You now live in a Banana Republic.
That was always the goal.
Two things
1) Being "independent" tells me nothing - at least say you are more liberal, conservative, libertarian, or some adjective.
2) Ask 10 Democrats what they believe - and you will get about 4 answers and the other nine have no ideal what the party platform says.
If a local Christian radio show devotes an hour to how bad Islam is and biblical, then local Mosque gets an hour to have their Immam come in to refute that!
I wouldn't say "everything"
Lets not be like the Dems - who with a list of 100+ achievements of Trump - the Dems could not agree even with one...

God who is all wise and whose understanding is unsearchable can by all means bring good out of the Democrats being in power. Whatever His purpose is we know that it is most wise, just, and holy that He has so worked things that the Democrats should bear government. It could be to humble us. But certainly we should improve what God will bring to pass with regards to who is in power in the federal branch of government.
It would be a good opportunity for Christians who really know their Bibles, truly fear God, and are not please-pleasers or apt to show respect of persons to influence Democrats and give to them counsel. God could use that if He wills. If it is within His will to use the Democrats to bring America further away from His ways and into pernicious ways in order to be humble us, show to us our sin, and the folly of our ways by bringing us to a place of desperation. Let us be sure that we do not just point out the sins or faults of liberals or progressives. Let us also recognize how far we conservatives and fundamentalists have departed from God and His ways. Many have made ecumenical compromise with Rome. Many have turned away from the true biblical gospel of Jesus Christ within conservative circles.
Actually that goes for any radio station -..The FCC can be a hassle at times.
It is possible that if the first show was paid for - then the oppsition must be offered at the the same price.
You may have a point there!
Oh, infanticide?? Yeah that is sin.

Sounds really good huh? Well, it tacitly targets conservative radio and TV specifically. IOW if Rush talks for three hours, then by the Fairness Doctrine, he must hire and allow someone to give opposite views for three hours because that's "fair." And, of course, the objective and already fair major network news channels don't count because they're "fair" because it's just news. If your pastor broadcasts on the radio, teaching from Scripture, like Romans 1:18-32; by law he will have to hire and allow someone who teaches that all those things in 1:18-32 are just fine because since your pastor is using the government owned radio frequencies, he must be "fair" and not just one sided.

Yep, that's right. I was shooting my mouth off from bad memory. Forgot it is the radio station that must provide equal time which makes it even worse. Rush might be able to afford it but a radio station could not, especially when no one would listen to an opposing opinion. Very few could afford it and who would want to waste their own money on it anyway. No ad revenue, radio station owner goes bankrupt, radio and Rush off the radio. Same with a station that broadcasts a pastor. The radio station would want someone to pay it for being forced to broadcast atheism if no one is interested in listening to an atheist for the same sermon time as the pastor. No revenue to pay bills of the station owner, no radio station.
Thanks for the correction.

Isn't that sweet? Libs attempting to come to each other's defense. You call for prayers for a fraud, but not for the one defrauded. You can't help but tip your hand and show your hypocrisy.
Aaron I’m praying for you during this stressful time and you know it’s true because I posted it in the Baptist board which is the only place that prayers exist!
