A couple of weeks ago it was "Super Tuesday" here
in Georgia. As I went to the polls to vote in the Republican
Primary, I reflected that there has never been a time in my life
when I felt more unsure of how to vote, and paradoxically, this
November I will be reflecting that there has never been a time when
I was more certain how to vote. As far as the
Republican candidates are concerned, I will only say that I wish we
could have the moral fiber of Santorum, the fiery debate of Gingrich
and the money and organization of Romney. Whoever the nominee
may be, everyone who loves this country had better pray that he
defeats Obama.
After all the talk about Obama's citizenship,
birth certificate and his qualifications for the Presidency under the
Constitution, I am finally convinced. I watched a
series of
videos that detail some of the problems with the "Certificate of
Live Birth" and the draft card offered by the White House, and there
is no longer any doubt in my mind that those documents were
falsified.
That, in and of itself, does not prove that Barack Obama is not a
"Natural Born" United States Citizen, but it does seem to indicate
that there is no proof available that he is. But what's the
point? If he is not a Natural Born citizen, he has already
been elected to the office, in violation of the nation's highest law
of the land. For that very reason, I doubt that the "facts"
will ever come to light, now or in the future. But the facts
of his birth and citizenship, important though they are, are really not
the point. I was convinced years ago that Barack Hussein Obama
was a Manchurian Candidate, a man who ran for office with
ulterior motives. A man who lied when he swore to uphold and
defend the Constitution, because he had every
intention of
undermining it and destroying the nation (as we knew it) that was
founded on it. Hope and Change.
Energy
Energy could probably fit in the paragraph on the economy,
but it's so important that it deserves one of its own. Obama
is committed to "green" energy, but with true unemployment above 9%,
millions losing their homes and small businesses faltering, one has
to ask if "green" is something that we can afford any more.
Energy is one of the vital foods of the economy, and Obama is
starving it in the interest of artificially boosting the production
of green energy ... which also just happens to have put billions of
dollars into the pockets of his biggest campaign donors.
Plunder the wealth of the nation while strangling it, killing two
birds with one stone. And he is now running around
answering calls to "drill here, drill now" with the boast that we're
now drilling here "more than ever before!" But the MSM
does not point out, we're drilling more on private land and
less than ever on federal land, so yes we may be drilling
now, but it is despite Obama's policies, not because of them.
The Economy
Obama (with the indispensable assistance of his
fellow-travelers, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid) has done his
dead-level best to spend us into bankruptcy and default. Don't
bother to tell me that G. W. Bush spent too much as well. He
did, but he was a piker compared to the current resident of the
White House. You've heard all of these interesting facts
before: Obama has piled up
more debt than all the presidents before
him, combined. By all accounts we are on the verge of an
economic melt-down, and crushing mountain of debt is hanging over
our head, and the heads of our posterity. And he continues to
spend!
The Military
But not on the military. Trillions more for
entitlements, but we are cutting defense even as Obama
stretches our armed forces to the breaking point while crushing
their morale at every opportunity. Did you note that when
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently visited Afghanistan to visit
the Marines, he had them disarmed before his arrival? Our
military disarmed so that he would feel more comfortable! They
are stretched to the breaking point, and some of them are beginning
to break. Perhaps there is a reason that members of this
administration are uncomfortable surrounded by armed men who love
this country and are willing to make the highest sacrifice for its
survival?
The Constitution
Barack Hussein Obama is not concerned about the United
States Constitution, except to the extent that it hampers his
efforts to "transform" America, and he is not all that shy about
voicing this sentiment. It makes me very sad, though, to admit
that our government is populated with men and women who feel exactly
the same way, but who are not quite so open about it. Our
nation drifted away from government by law a long time ago, but the
process has accelerated. We are on the verge of having fallen
too far to ever climb back up without
bloodshed ... if we are
not there already.
The Government We Deserve
I am not optimistic. A few weeks ago on "Super
Tuesday" I went to vote early in the morning and then stopped by the
doctor's office to have some blood drawn. A fellow wearing bib
overalls was sitting in the waiting room and noticed my "I Voted"
sticker.
"Is there an election today?" he asked.
"Yes, it's the Super Tuesday," I
answered. "I voted
in the Republican Primary."
"Oh well, I'm a Democrat so I can't vote."
"There's a Democrat primary too," I
told him, "but
there's only one name on the ballot."
"Who's that?" he asked. Right about
then I started getting uncomfortable.
"Uhm, that would be Barack Obama," I
advised.
"Oh well, I wouldn't vote for him.
How about that guy, what's his name? Ronny? Mitt Ronny?
I like him. He's a Democrat ain't he?"
"No, Mitt Romney is a Republican," I
answered. Just then they called for me, extricating me from an
uncomfortable situation and, possibly, saving me from a fistfight.
I was just about to tell that guy, "why don't you do everyone in the
country a favor and not vote at all?"
Aside from the fact that so many of our
electorate are ignorant, and so many more are looters who vote for a
living, I have to worry because I believe in a just and righteous
God. We kill more than a million unborn children in
this country every year and flush them down the toilet. Do you
really think that a God who hates "hands that shed innocent blood"
will allow us to solve our economic problems? I am afraid,
really afraid, that no matter who is elected we will continue to get
the government that we deserve.
God help us.
