HopeKnot

Almost four years ago America voted a young black man into office for the first time in its history.

We didn't know much about Barack Hussein Obama even though there were those who were desperately trying to get the word out.  But now we do.  Even though America's Liberal Media saw to it that those who were trying to educate us were drowned out.   And yet I have to point a finger at the Republican Party who hoisted John McCain's sail up the mast.  And then turns around and picks Sarah Palin, an unknown from Alaska, to be his sidekick.

Looking back, it almost appears as if the Republican Party didn't want to win this one but deliberately chose the path of defeat.  So, I credit the Republicans, in part, with whom we have in office now.

I know that a vast majority of Blacks voted for Obama and a sizeable number of Whites.  I'm unsure about the Hispanic, Asian and others.      

The issue has been raised about Mr. Obama's likeability.  Just how much is he liked by people?  Does this really matter?  Does this mean they will go out and vote for him, based solely on his likeability?

Aren't there more important issues to concern oneself with such as an economy tanking?  Millions of Americans out of work?  National Security Leaks which many argue are coming directly from the White House and putting our intelligence community at grave risk?

A President, along with a like-minded Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who clearly believe in an anti-American agenda; e.g., the U.N. Small Arms Treaty, in which Americans may well be stripped of their right to keep and bear arms.  Does this tell you anything or does this not matter?

And, when are we going to get past race?  Many of us do not care about someone's color, do not spend our whole day focused on it.  Shouldn't we be more concerned with character and substance?

Thanks to the American Left, we aren't given the opportunity to get past this issue as someone on the left is always bringing it up  in an accusatory manner or painting those they don't happen to agree with in rascist terms.  Enough already.

Do they think we are that stupid?

Unfortunately, we do have many in this country who are not being educated like they should.  Who think that Socialism is just swell.  Who haven't even made it out into the big, bad world yet but they have all the answers.  I beg to differ.  Young people who haven't experienced a Depression, a World War, who haven't seen combat, who haven't witnessed the brutality ongoing in other countries need to learn about the country they live in, how and why it came into existence, the sacrifices that were made and are still being made, so they can grow up to prosper and live free.

YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT UNDER SOCIALISM--which is what Mr. Obama believes in.

These young people know nothing.  And yet they will vote in the next election. We will have voters who will vote based solely on the fact that the President is Black.

When you have fifty percent of the population on the government dole; the other fifty percent paying for them; those who will vote solely because of someone's color; then you elevate something as meaningless as a president's likeability as a determining factor into the campaign, all the while distracting your opponent(s) and ignoring the utter failure of an administration to address serious problems and come up with workable solutions, you don't have a crisis, you have a catastrophe.

This is where we are, right now.

I understand the Vietnam Vet who wonders why in hell he even went out to fight the Communists in Vietnam as he watches the work of the wrecking ball that is Barack Hussein Obama.  

The midnight hour approaches.

Let us hope and pray that this next election will turn out a record number of voters who are clearly dismayed and concerned at what they see happening to their country and way of life.

Let us hope and pray that before this election, many will have done some serious soul-searching; will have found their country's conscience (n. conscience:  a person's sense of what is right and wrong especially in his own actions or motives) will rise above their own special interests (adj.  selfishness:  acting or done according to one's own interest and needs, without regard for those of others) rally around the flag of our nation and join the rest of those who will make the change necessary in November.      

The choice we make this year will be one of the most crucial ones ever ever made as it will clearly define the direction this country is going, for all of us.
