Guns and Church
Since I identify with the people who fall into Barrack Obama's
elitist description about people of faith who keep firearms, I'm
not very happy with Barrack Obama's recent remarks.
He said something to the effect that us rednecks cling to our
guns and our religion when we get frustrated and I would like to
take umbrage to these remarks.
My faith goes much deeper than his superficial explanation
and I love my guns even when I'm not frustrated.
And I am not by myself. I was going to church and shooting
guns before Mr. Obama was even born and come from a long
line of good people who have been doing it for generations.
To me this latest Obama blunder only helps reveal the depth of condescension the far left wing of the Democrat party has for the folks out here in flyover country.
Mr. Obama's remarks are insulting to a lot of folks. It's kind of like Abraham Lincoln said, "God must love the common people because He made so many of them".
His remarks make me think that Obama doesn't know the people of this country very well. I'm sure he knows the jet set and the Hollywood bunch, the limousine liberals and the save the whales, kill the babies crowd, but does he think thatthe ordinary people don't count?
Does he think that they're so stupid that they don't know who he's talking about when he says these things?
Does he think their opinions aren't important? Apparently.
How can a man stand in front of America and tell people what he wants to do for them and have so little respect for a whole segment of the population? In fact, a very large segment.
Does that mean that he would only represent the high-minded liberal ideals of the far left and ignore the rest of us?
What kind of Commander and Chief would he make if he doesn't respect the very people who make up the lion's share of the armed forces?
You may say I'm over reacting, but I'm getting sick and tired of him making these elitist statements and saying that he had been taken out of context or some other flimsy excuse.
After his wife's remark about not being proud of this country and his pastor's statements calling America the U.S.K.K.K.A.
And his own statement about not wanting his daughter punished
with a baby, it makes me wonder what kind of a man Obama really
is and what kind of a president he'd make.
Would he be an antigun advocate pushing the effort to take
the firearms out of innocent citizen's hands?
Would he not respect the religious beliefs of America, not
taking them into account in his agenda?
I really don't know much about the man and neither does America .
He basically came from out of nowhere, and as the facts come
out little by little, they don't make a particularly confident picture.
I have a great fear that if our military gets broken by another
President, this time we're not going to have time to fix it again
and what that spells for America , I don't even want to contemplate.
Oh well, I guess I'll grab my gun and go to church.
Pray for our troops!
God Bless America !

Amen, Charlie!
