After George W. Bush defeated Al Gore, and later John Kerry, for the presidency, countless Democrat-owned cars bore bumper stickers with clever phrases like 'Not My President' or 'Don't Blame Me I Voted for Kerry'.
As a conservative evangelical Christian who voted for McCain-Palin, and for every other Republican on the ballot yesterday, let me say for the record: Barack Obama is my president.
I stayed up past midnight to watch his victory speech. I wept (a little less than Jesse Jackson) because the moment stirred me with gratitude for how God has thus far corrected America's most crippling birth defect -- racist discrimination.
I take my president-elect at his word when he says to those who didn't vote for him: "I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president too."
Mr. President, the best thing you can do for us is to lead a new generation to live out the American dream as you have. In other words, President Obama, I pray that your example will serve to create a wave of citizens whose lives follow your own storyline.
This would produce an America comprised of people who...
* can choose where to school their children (as your Mom chose private school for you), * work hard to achieve their goals, * dedicate themselves to lifelong learning, * marry persons of the opposite sex and remain faithful to them, * bear living children and bring them up in a two-parent home, * take advantage of free markets and their own skills to earn money, * negotiate their own compensation, * manage that money responsibly, * demonstrate a willingness to serve our nation.
Mr. President, while your official policy statements envision a nation very different from the one that produced your extraordinary success story, I know that you're still relatively new to civic life and you seem willing to learn. You strike me as a quick study, who can really make a difference when he sets his mind to it.
Leaders tend to attract people who are like them, and to inspire people to emulate them. Sometimes it's hard to recognize the factors that have shaped our own existence. Take a moment to consider how your life exemplifies the principles that have made this nation great.
What we need now is not policies to implement your stated ideology. We need for you to recognize the true power behind your own inspiring story.
I’ll support him like he and all the Obama lovers supported President Bush. How dare that man ask for my support and respect.
The author is delusional.
Things rarely turn out as bad or as good as it first appears they might.
It is my hope that once in the majority the rats will fragment and start fighting among themselves. There are parts of the rat coalition that simply aren’t aligned on basic issues - like unions and environmentalists or homosexuals and traditional blacks.
I don’t see much to stop the rats though if they remain united. And I really don’t see much to stop them in the first 100 days of the Obama presidency even if they do start to fragment. But then, there is always the hope that the rat leadership in the congress is so poor that they will somehow blow the opportunity at least in part.
How can you believe anything this guy says, when it has been proven that he has lied repeatedly?
Translation: "I need your Help." = I need you to give up your selfish, outdated principles and follow me...
Even if I give Obama the benefit of the doubt, I don’t think that he will stand in the way of the Pelosi-Reid cabal when they start settling scores. So as far as I’m concerned they’re just ‘empty-words’ until he backs it up.
Stupid article.
Obama is the President, and I certainly hope he finds a way to do a good job.
But the only way that will happen is if he all of a sudden becomes a conservative.
Is it too much to ask for some verifiable documentation of his eligibility? That’s all I am asking. Now once he violates the Constitution, well I defend the Constitution not the man.
No thanks. “My” president? Who, the one that helped destroy Sarah and her family? Oh yeah he’s cool all is forgiven, NOT.
Past behavior is the best predictor of future actions. He has surrounded himself with actual marxists, actual terrorists, and african islamic despots.
This is the october revolution in russia,,, this is herr hitler becoming chancellor.
This stone hearted foreign-born statist has told you exactly what he will do. He will bankrupt you,, he will end our energy reality and make us slaves to global warming, He will sign Kyoto, He will outlaw guns through abusive fees, taxes and laws, He will end opposition by the fairness doctrine and internet regulation, he will nationalize healthcare. As in England, Canada, and Germany, he will criminalize criticism of Islam.
No,, he is not my president. He is not a person who respects the principles this nation was founded on.
Begin every effort to undermine and resist him. You are a Russian in 1919,,, you are German a Jew in 1932.
To author:
So, the majority of Americans have decided they like paying higher taxes and murdering babies. That is NOT what I believe in, so I will be in opposition to everything until people come to their senses.
If he is your President, you are more than welcome to him. For the last eight years, there has never been a kind word for President Bush. Let’s see how the 0bomaination likes it in return. No way I forget, nor forgive, the Liberals treasonous behavior.
I have no intention of helping Obama or his cult like followers.
I wonder if the Libs would find a T shirt saying Barak Obama is a N***er as funny as Sarah Palin is a C**t?
Get ready for the fights to come and pay these mfers back, measure for measure for 8 years of hate and discontent. I will extend to them every courtesy that they extended to us. Dirtbag traitors.
LOL, that steaming pantload Obama is not, and will never be, MY president.
I’m not even an American anymore. I just live here. America - - as a concept - - was a grand experiment, but it’s dead and gone. The place is now just a land mass populated by parasites who enthusiastically vote for politicians who promise “free stuff” - - confiscated from their neighbors - - in exchange for their votes. And so, I’m going to make sure I get my hands on all the “free stuff” I can. Sign me up.
I just worry about those poor souls in the military who might soon find themselves on UN “peace” missions in Rwanda and Darfur, armed only with rubber bullets. I hope they can find a way to get themselves discharged, and quick. It won’t be long before you can’t even get yourself out by pretending to be a sodomite.
Guilty as charged!
What we need is some politician with enough balls to say “F—k you” to the democrats when they call for bipartisanship.
Seriously. Laugh in their face. Call them out for their own vicious partisanship the past 8 years and let them have a taste of it.
