A Patriotic Resistance
I have noted that many elected officials,
both Democrats and Republicans, called
upon America to unite behind Obama.
Well, I want to make it clear to all who
will listen that I "AM NOT" uniting behind Obama.
However, I promise to give our country the
devoted loyalty of a patriot.
I will respect the Office which he holds,
and I will acknowledge his abilities as
an orator and wordsmith and pray for him,
BUT that is it.
I have begun today to see what
I can do to make sure He is a one-term President!
Why am I doing this? It is because
I do not share Obama's vision or value system for America;
I do not share his Abortion beliefs;
I do not share his radical Marxist's concept
of re-distributing wealth;
I do not share his stated views on raising taxes
on those who make $150,000+
(the ceiling has been changed three times since August);
I do not share his view that America is arrogrant;
I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;
I do not share his view that the military should
be reduced by 25%;
I do not share his view of amnesty and giving
more to illegals than American Citizens who need help;
I do not share his views on homosexuality
and his definition of marriage;
I do not share his views that Radical Islam
is our friend and Israel is our enemy who
should give up any land;
I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least
the ones he has made public);
I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work
the healthcare system in America;
I do not share his Strategic views of the
Middle East, and certainly do not share his
plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.
Bottom line, my America is vastly different from
Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my
Country and my God to do what is right!
For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society,
led by numerous entertainers who would have
no platform and no real credibility, but for their
celebrity status, have attacked President Bush,
his family, and his spiritual beliefs!
They have not moved toward the center in their
beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came
together nor compromised their personal beliefs for
the betterment of our Country! They have portrayed
my America as a land where everything is tolerated
except being intolerant!
They have been a vocal and irreverent
minority for years;
They have mocked and attacked the very
core values so important to the founding and
growth of our Country;
They have made every effort to remove
the name of God or Jesus Christ from our Society;
They have challenged capital punishment,
the right to bear firearms, and the most basic
principles of our criminal code;
They have attacked one of the
most fundamental of all Freedoms,
the right of free speech!
Unite behind Obama? Never!
I am sure many of you who read this think
that I am going overboard, but I refuse
to retreat one more inch in favor of those
whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!
PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes
during his Presidency, and I am not sure
how history will judge him. However, I
believe he weighed his decisions in light
of the long established Judeo-Christian
principles of our Founding Fathers!!!
Majority rules in America , and I will
honor the concept; however,
I will fight with all of my power to be
a voice in opposition to
Obama and "his goals for America ."
I am going to be a thorn in the side of
those who, if left unchecked,
will destroy our country!! Any more
compromise is more defeat!
