Stand behind Obama?

Stand behind Obama? I don't think so

Far too many elected officials, Democrat and Republican, have called upon America to "unite behind President Obama." I respect the office he holds and acknowledge his uncanny ability as a con artist, and the fact that he is the biggest fraud this country has ever witnessed. I will do everything I can to make sure he is a one-term president. I want to make it clear to everyone that I refuse to stand behind him.

Here are just a few of my reasons:

I do not share his "vision" or his lack of values for America. I do not share his lack of morals on abortion. He claims to support marriage for one man and one woman only -- I don't believe him. I do not share his radical Marxist wealth redistribution agenda. I do not share his unstated plan to raise all people's taxes.

I do not support a president who cannot answer simple questions without a TelePrompTer telling him how to answer. I do not share his view that Americans are arrogant, that America is not a nation founded on Christian principles, or his plans to reduce our military by 25 percent or more, or his outright refusal to stop the North Korean missile launches.

I do not share his view of giving amnesty to illegal aliens, nor his plan to give these aliens more support than American born tax-paying citizens. I do not share his views on our friendship with Islam, or on Israel having to give up more land.

I don't know what his spiritual beliefs are, but I know for a fact they are not Christian beliefs. I do not share his agenda of destroying the best health care system in the world for people of all ages, his frightening lack of strategy for the Middle East, and absolutely do not support his stated plan to sit down with terrorist or communist nations such as Iran or North Korea.

I do not support a president who would fill his entire administration with rabid haters of our First and Second Amendment rights. I do not support paying taxes, when Obama fills his high-ranking administrative offices with tax cheats and tax dodgers, or others who have violated federal laws.

I do not support Obama's refusal to submit his true legal birth certificate and do not believe he is American born. I believe the Congress and House of Representatives are criminally responsible for not forcing the issue of the birth certificate. I believe he is an illegal president and guilty of violating the Constitution of the United States in many ways.

My America is vastly different from his. I have a higher obligation to God and my country, to do the right thing, which from time to time, I am guilty of failing at. For eight years, liberals in our society, led by many entertainers who would normally have no platform or credibility except for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family and his spiritual beliefs. Now that Bush is out of office, they and the liberal media are attacking Sarah Palin, who is a solid conservative.

Liberals have never moved toward the center in their beliefs nor compromised their agenda to make this country better, stronger or safer. They have portrayed America as a land where everything is tolerated except for what is good, and everything is for sale, including goodness and morality. They have been a vocal and highly destructive minority for years, and have mocked and attacked the basic values so important for continued growth and prosperity. They have made every effort to remove the name of God and Jesus Christ from our society, but not other religious beliefs.

They have attacked capital punishment, the right of free speech, the right to bear firearms, many other rights, and the most basic principles of our criminal code. They have fully embraced corruption at all levels.

Unite behind Obama? Don't make me laugh! I refuse to retreat a single inch. George Bush made mistakes, as every other president has, but I believe history will give him better grades than Obama could ever dream of. In my opinion, George Bush weighed his decisions against the long-established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers. I will fight with all my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and his devastating goals for America.

I am going to be a thorn in the saddle of those who would destroy our country. Compromise is just another word for defeat. My views have absolutely nothing to do with race, or racism.

I pray that the results of this election, which we are now seeing, will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-God, anti-Constitutional rights crowd and current president to destroy so much of what has been good for America and what has made America the greatest nation on Earth. That is all vanishing.

Nobody needs to publicly say "I hope Obama fails." Obama is doing a very good job of that all on his own without any assistance. For all of you who have lost your jobs or your homes, and to those of you who are going to lose your jobs and/or homes because of Obama's economy and incompetence, I say God bless you and our country. This economy is Obama's.

Thanks for your time, be safe, and trust in God. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under, and forgotten by God, and America will die. We are on that road now. Thomas Jefferson once said "error of opinion" may be tolerated where "reason" is there to fight it. Where is "reason" now? I want the American way of life back. If you agree, pass this on to everybody you know!
