Dear America
As a friend, I can’t help but be very concerned about the direction I see the country heading.
Are you so desperate for some kind of change that you will throw all reason to the wind? Do you think that by electing Obama, all of your troubles will simply disappear and the world will be somehow more kinder and gentler? Do you think that Obama only has to "talk" to other World leaders and everyone will be friends and work together for the common good?!?!
Will you put your faith and confidence in a candidate and his running mate who have absolutely no respect and do not value human life? There will be more slaughter of the unborn and more and more erosion of the value and dignity of human life. Obama boasts a 100 percent voting record in opposing pre-born human life. He wanted to keep post partial abortion and was appalled at the decision made by the Supreme Court. Barack also supports infanticide and actually took the Illinois Senate floor to argue that babies who survived abortion attempts do not deserve medical care and instead should be left alone to die!
Why is it that enemies of America love Obama? Here is a Headline from Jihad Watch June 12, 2008; by Egyptian Journo: "Muslims love Obama because he will appease them." America has enemies and they are plotting against you, the CIA, FBI etc tell you that they want to attack again. While Obama raises the white flag in surrender, promising to end the war, he has not looked at the consequences of it. Radical Islamists are raging a war against America and the West and they do not intend to give up if anything Iran is already trying to aquire nuclear weaponry which they will use against their enemies two of whom are Israel and America.
Why is it that Obama’s associates sends chills down my spine. The people one chooses to associate themselves with says a lot about a person. Obama has been linked to so many radicals and home grown terrorist elements, it brings his judgement into serious question.
I find it very hard to believe that Barack Obama sat at the feet of a hate-filled racial bigot and it took twenty years to realize, while running for the highest office in the land, that his minister's teachings, did not reflect his views. Imagine that! If there is ever a clear and present threat, you do not want someone who cannot make a quick and sound judgment. Barack Obama also has a thing for Marxists. He befriends them, listens to their counsel, and he even hires them to work in his campaign.
Why would you want to vote for a candidate who took alot of money from CEO’s that ran Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae into the ground? A president that will raise your taxes, cut jobs, say when you can go to the doctor, say if you can be hospitalized. What’s next? Tell you what and when to have dinner?!
Corruption drains resources, rewards crooks and wreaks havoc on everyone. Why isn’t someone focusing on the fact that Obama chose to forego public funding for his campaign as he originally promised to McCain? Maybe money has been promised from lobbyists that benefit from his huge push for earmarks. Why is the insurance industry so keen to support Obama? There seems to be little concern with his association with the group ACORN who share the blame for your mortgage problems and they are also at the forefront of voter registration fraud on a massive scale. But, the media is silent on this issue.
America is feeling the effects of corruption. The economic troubles cannot be solved from a person and his colleagues who are having their pockets lined with money, taxpayers money and an orator who does not love the free market. He favors socialism, he wants fairness and justice which means taking from those he perceives to have more and giving to those who "deserve" it more. Obama started out early in his campaign attacking big business. Apparently Obama does not know that Big Businesses do not pay taxes. They simply raise their prices. And who loses out in this? The consumer. His economic platform is probably one of the few math problems with no solution, it simply does not add up and balance. Now having a very solid math and economic background, how can 95% of Americans get a tax break, raise business tax, increase government, fund wall street, fund liberal subsidy programs and fund all these promises he has made?!?! Where is he getting all the money to fund all these programs??? I’m still trying to figure this one out, I just cant get the numbers to work but hey I did not take Obanomics 101!
America you need to wake up and take off the blinders. Don’t believe that Obama is going to scream "Peace!!" and the Taliban, Al Qaida and Ahmadinajad are going to turn a new leaf and start planting roses and tulips instead of nuclear weapons?!?! Wake up America! Do you want a pilot who will give you a little bit of a bumpy ride or one who promises the flight of your lifetime and who in fact is going to bring you crashing down? The choice is yours.
Sincerely,
A very concerned friend.
Dawn Eden of The Dawn Patrol, gave an absolutely beautiful and powerful interview on Life on the Rock on EWTN last night. In case you missed it you can see it, you can view it by going here and click on the "View" link under "Archived Video in Real Player.
For those of you who are not familiar with Dawn and her conversion story, in brief, Dawn is a Christian (Catholic) Apologetic for premarital chastity. She is very passionate about spreading the message that chastity is more “hope-filled” and “vibrant” than sex outside marriage. Through her book and her blog, she gives very practical advice and encouragement to those living a chaste life, those trying to live a chaste life and hope to those not living a chaste life.
Dawn brought up some very poignant points, many of which I have been meaning to address for a while now, so no time like the present to address them. Dawn brought up the point that while dating, from the very first date and while in a relationship, you should treat that person with the respect and love that you would treat your future spouse. If only the young and not so young would take this to heart. Its not to say that everyone you date or are in a relationship with is going to be your future spouse but if you think about your future spouse and how you would want to be treated and the fact that you are with someone else’s future spouse, maybe just maybe the “tone” of many a date would be so different.
Why is it that so many young persons in particular find it hard to grow up, don’t want to grow up and don’t want any of the responsibilities of adults? Adolescence used to be from what 13-17/18, now it has been extended to 30! Some may say its immaturity but I think it’s far more than that. Far too many children, now ‘legal adults’, think the world revolves around them and for them! I can speak from experience, I have dated a couple guys who fall into this category, have family and know acquaintances also that fit this profile. A word to parents, not only referring to your sons but your daughters as well, think about your potential son and daughter in law before turning your kids into spoilt brats! Guys who cant and wont do anything for themselves, expect to be waited on hand and foot and think that sowing their seeds in every skirt that passes by is a sign of their being a “man” then plan on marrying a virgin is anything but cute and adorable and far from appealing! The same goes for your daughters, where they are spoilt brats who get any and everything, cant and will not do anything (not only referring to household chores here) and put a price on their ‘love’, think about the man that has to marry her!
We live in a time where everything is about me, myself and I. Selfish, self-centered and lazy are some of the ‘nicer’ adjectives that describe what faces so many of us. Then we have those who are ‘momma’s boys’ and ‘daddy’s little girl’. Don’t get me wrong, I admire young persons who are close to their parents, it’s very admirable to say the least. What I’m referring to are those who have been spoiled and I mean so manipulated that they put these impossible and unattainable expectations on their boyfriends, girlfriends and future spouses. In essence they want to be with and marry mommy or daddy! I’m all for looking for or better said being attracted to someone with the good characteristics of your parents but what I’m talking about are people who you will never be able to please cause you are not their mom or dad. You don’t dress like mom, don’t walk, talk or cook like mom, you don’t spoil me like dad and bend and give into my every whim and fancy! Is this what we as young persons to look forward to?
I am not writing this as a young person without faults of my own but I’m writing it out of concern for me and my fellow young persons who have to deal with and often times get frustrated with it all. Nor did I write this to offend or bash parents, not all parents or young people fall into these categories but we have to face the fact that far too many do fit the profile.
Kudos to those of you who try and persevere with your children and help them to become, productive, respectful and responsible members of society. Continue to be a beacon of light, that ray of hope and an example for us to follow.
1: Begin with infancy to give the child everything he wants. In this way he will grow to believe the world owes him a living.
