Subject:   RESPECTING THE OFFICE VS THE MAN

 
'A government big enough to give you everything you want, 
 is strong enough to take everything you have.'
                                                               
 
~ Thomas  Jefferson ~
  
 
   
This is a very good, concise list of reasons that supports the notion that it is perfectly fine to disagree with the President – on ISSUES!!  It is not him personally I disagree with; it is his philosophy of what the United States should be and, as he himself said so clearly, that he wants to “fundamentally change the United States”.  All of his actions so far support what he wants to do.
 
On Dr. Charles Stanley's Sunday program "In Touch", the guest speaker was more of a historian than a Biblical speaker, but he is very famous for his knowledge of historical facts as well as Biblical truths.
 
Dr. David Barton is his name. He is an expert on the subject of whether or not the United States was founded as a Christian Nation.

     Dr. David Barton - on Obama

Respect the Office ?   Yes.
 
Respect the Man in the Office?   No, I am sorry to say.

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 !
 
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 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 Arrogant;
- 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 our 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
- I 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 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 ! ! !
 
(Please, please, please, pa** this on if you agree.)
 
Thanks for your time, be safe.   "In GOD We Trust"
 
"If we ever forget that we're one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under." - Ronald Reagan
 
 I WANT THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE BACK.....
 
               In GOD We Trust ! ! ! ! ! !

That's what bothered me so much about the campaign.  It was always about what Obama is, not what he stands for.  Like, he doesn't look down when speaking to the audience, he speaks better than Bush, he seems confident, he's African American and it would make history to elect him.

It was so unnerving to hear that for months on end.  Ughh.  I don't care how he speaks or what he looks like.  I care what he stands for and all I heard was promises to take care of everyone, EXCEPT big corporations (oops, kinda messed that up Mr. Stimulus), and the way he was going to do it was by the big Fed sticking its nose in our business!

We cannot continue down this path.  Our debt is growing, the dollar is becoming more and more worthless and we continue to borrow money against ourselves thinking it will turn around.  Pretty soon, that won't work anymore.  Soon, it'll be like Post Nazi Germany where they were burning their paper money to keep themselves warm.

Notice how all the large empires in our history have always started crumbling from the inside...  That's what I see happening to us right now.  It's frightening to say the least.
