IS AMERICA BEING PLAYED FOR THE FOOL AGAIN?

Gomer Pyle on the Andy Griffith show had a saying: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Are we about to be fooled again, or have we learned from the first time around?

The Obama organization played the voters for fools in the 2008 election by using all sorts of means to deceive and maneuver voters into choosing the liberals. Obama promised all sorts of things that never materialized, (that’s called lying) but he has brought a lot of “change;” just not what the American people wanted or expected.

There were reports of all kinds of voter fraud and intimidation during the 2008 election, but no one bothered to follow up, instead sweeping it all under the rug. “After all, he is the first “black” president of the United States.”

Although the Democrats frequently try to play the “race” card, this is not a race issue. It is a convoluted mess. There are questions that have never been addressed concerning Obama’s eligibility to be in office, from his birth to his czars. He obviously believes that he is above the law and constantly skirts the Constitution where possible. He is obviously a socialist; everything he does “smacks” of it.

Don’t the liberals get it? Socialism is a failed system, yet we have this whole group of so-called “progressives,” that are bent on transforming America into a socialist state. The “main-stream” media is in bed with them and eating out of their hands. I’ve never quite understood how so many “news” organizations are more faithful to the socialist cause than to God himself.

During the 2012 election we can expect to see liberals working closely with the “media” to shape or “spin” all the news to try to push the conservatives to the bottom of the heap. What are they hoping to achieve here? Do they all want to pay higher taxes; to have long waiting lines for goods, services and medical care; to lose all the money they have saved for retirement; to see the collapse of the greatest free country on the earth; to put America in poverty as a third-world country?

How about see everyone lose their Social Security which we have paid into for all our working years; and there is a shortage of funds to pay for it just because the government has been stealing from “the cookie jar?” This is money that belongs to those who paid it in, not voluntarily, but under government compulsion. They took it from us under false pretense and squandered it on things we the people disagree with.

Are we being played the fool?

I am not against having a president of any race. There is a black candidates running for president, who will likely get my vote in the primary election and in the general election if he gets that far. At this point, Herman Cain looks electable and I think he would be a fine president. My criterion is that a president must have good moral character. He must hold human life dear.

Barack Obama has no regard for the unborn. This tells me a lot about where his heart is. He indicated that he would be in agreement with aborting a child that was his own flesh and blood. “I don’t want my daughter to be punished with a baby!” A baby is not punishment, it is one of God’s greatest blessings. Someone to whom life is so cheap as to destroy it has no place in government leadership at all. He claims to be a Christian. In my opinion abortion has no place in the life of a child of God.

It’s time we put a stop to the murdering of unborn babies in this country. How can anyone think killing another human being is a good, or even an acceptable thing? Are we barbarians? How did America go this low?

It’s disgraceful that we have allowed the destruction of not just a few, but millions of Americans. One is too many. It is unconstitutional to do murder in America. As Americans we are entitled to “LIFE,” liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Abortion violates the constitution just like murder (because that’s really what it is). After a trial, a murderer may be sentenced to death. A totally innocent unborn baby is being sentenced to death by abortion without a trial. That’s not due process under the law.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!

A baby is a human one minute before birth the same as it is one minute after. Why is aborting (killing) a baby just prior to being born acceptable, but one second after it is born is killing it is considered murder. Does it change from not being human to being fully human in a minute’s time? That’s insanity!

VOTING

As law abiding citizens, it is our duty to vote against anyone who is in favor of abortion. As a true believer in Jesus Christ, I could never in good conscience, vote for anyone who is pro-abortion, no matter what other attributes he (or she) may have. It’s time we (Christians) humbled ourselves and prayed, seeking the face of God for forgiveness of our sins and those of our nation, turning away from sin and despising it. This is probably the last hope for keeping this country together. God cannot bless continual disobedience, we must repent and turn back to Him and surrender our lives to Him that we may be saved and that America may survive.

Please don’t take your obligation to vote for upstanding, honest candidates in the 2012 election as an unimportant thing, we have sat on the sidelines way too long.
