Before anyone comes to the wrong conclusion,I did not write this article. I certainly wish I had because it expresses my thoughts better than I could do myself. It was from an e-mail that has been widely quoted and that I have seen first posted in late Nov ’08. I suspect that a lot of others feel the same way so I have reprinted it here.
My thanks for it go to the author:Larry Sparks of Hoover Alabama.
=============================================
I have repeatedly been told by many elected officials,both Democrats and Republicans,to unite behind Obama. Well,I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama!
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 that he is a one-term President!
Why am I doing this?
* It is because I do not share Obama’s vision 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 the military should be reduced by 25%;
* I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;
* 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,they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country,but they always expect us to leave our beliefs behind or we are called intolerant,or racist!
They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being Christian or Conservative.
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!
They are willing to give away our beautiful free country to illegals;people who enter this country illegally and then expect the overburdened taxpayers to support them or better yet,give them our Social Security benefits without complaining. Now,news has leaked that the illegals will be counted in the 2010 census. Another way for Obama and the Democrats to steal elections.
Enough! 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 that 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!
I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-God crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America!
“Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it.” (Thomas Jefferson)
God bless you and God bless our Country!!!

Well said. Obama will spend as little as possible on military ventures because he wants to reserve the money for his socialistic projects which will buy him more votes. Also,the reason he has not moved yet on gun control is because he’s waiting to do it in the aftermath of Ted Kennedy’s demise. It will be a tribute to this alledgedly great icon. Gun control was Ted Kennedy’s great love. His demise will bring forth this issue. Obama is so pathelogically narcissistic that he wastes no opportunity for a photo opt.
