No, I am sorry to say.<\/p>\n<p>I have noted that many <span id=\"lw_1268245476_1\">elected officials<\/span>, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.\u00a0 Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama !\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President !\u00a0 Why am I doing this ?<\/p>\n<p>It is because:<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share Obama&#8217;s vision or value system for America ;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his Abortion beliefs;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his radical Marxist&#8217;s concept of re-distributing wealth;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; 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);<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than our American Citizens who need help;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and <span id=\"lw_1268245476_2\">Israel<\/span> is our enemy and should give up more land;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America ;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I do not share his Strategic views of the <span id=\"lw_1268245476_3\">Middle East<\/span> ; and<br \/>\n\u00a0&#8211; I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as <span id=\"lw_1268245476_4\">Iran<\/span> .<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nBottom line: my America is vastly different from Obama&#8217;s, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my GOD to do what is Right !\u00a0 For eight 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 <span id=\"lw_1268245476_5\">President Bush<\/span>, his family, and his spiritual beliefs!<\/p>\n<p>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!\u00a0 They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant!\u00a0 They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years!\u00a0 They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country!\u00a0 They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or <span id=\"lw_1268245476_6\">Jesus Christ<\/span> from our Society!\u00a0 They have challenged <span id=\"lw_1268245476_7\">capital punishment<\/span>, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code!<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThey have attacked one of the most fundamental of all <span id=\"lw_1268245476_8\">Freedoms<\/span>, the right of free speech!<\/p>\n<p>Unite behind Obama? Never ! ! !\u00a0 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 who I believe are the embodiment of Evil!<\/p>\n<p>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!!!\u00a0 <span id=\"lw_1268245476_9\">Majority rules<\/span> 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 &#8220;goals for America .&#8221;\u00a0 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 !<\/p>\n<p>I pray that this election will wake up many who sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-GOD crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America !<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it.&#8221; &#8211; <span id=\"lw_1268245476_10\">Thomas Jefferson<\/span><\/p>\n<p>GOD bless you and GOD bless our Country ! ! !<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your time, be safe.
