WHY I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA ...(A sarcastic letter to my Democratic friends)...
When I was very young I collected pop bottles to earn a little extra money. At that time they could be redeemed for cash, maybe 2 or 3 cents each. Being a Tomboy in my youth, I also caddied in the summers, and earned $2.50 - $3.00 for each nine holes of schlepping somebody else's golf clubs.
Later, at about 15 years old, I was hired for my first job. I don't remember the hourly amount, but I think it was about 75 cents an hour...again schlepping, but this time it was groceries...either stocking shelves with them, or walking the neighborhood delivering them.
Since graduating from college I've been blessed to have had a substantial income......Occasionally working as many as 14 hours a day. Always working hard, always trying to get ahead...usually enjoying the experience, and always generously contributing my time and/or money to those less fortunate.
Now, with retirement and old age approaching, it's MY turn to have my hand extended in front of me .............."PALM UP"!
That most generous offer made by Barack H. Obama to "Redistribute the wealth", sounds too good to pass up....I mean when he becomes president, and democracy cedes control to the House of Pelosi (et al), I'll be able to sit around if I want, work part time at menial jobs if I want, or...not even work at all. I MAY choose to travel all I want.
I can enjoy living to the fullest, comforted by the fact that in my retirement, I'll be well provided for financially from the rest of you who are still working your asses off!!! ............and the more YOU earn, the more I'LL receive!
WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY!!!
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
The pity of it is, many people think this way. And they are not kidding.
It appears that while you’re post is decidedly tongue in cheek, more than 1/2 of Americans hold just that view.
Yikes, where did you caddy? When I caddied we got at least $50/bag for 18 holes.
"From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed."
Nicely done!
Yep, my husband and I have said that when Obama gets elected, we will thwart his plan to soak the rich by quitting our jobs and just let government take care of our every need. Forget this contributing to the economy business. That’s too much like work!

Why I Can’t Vote For Obama
By Huntley Brown
Dear Friends, A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have seen some of this before but it’s worth repeating...
First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer support. Obama needs to be co mm ended for his accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him.
Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He leads I follow. I can’t dictate the terms He does because He is the leader.
I can’t vote black because I am black; I have to vote Christian because that’s who I am. Christian first, black second. Neither should anyone from the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 2 00 years from now I won’t be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior.
In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to name a few, wrong economic concerns will soon not matter.
We need to follow Martin Luther King’s words, don’t judge someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don’t know Obama so all I can go off is his voting record. His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2 00 7 .
NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2 00 7 (01/31/ 2 008)
To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what would happen to America if he had four years to work with.
There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100 % rating. There is a reason the homosexual co mm unity supports him. There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him. There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court. There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion. There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue.
Let’s take a look at the practice he wanted to continue
The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures:
A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby’s leg with forceps. (Remember this is a live baby)
B. The baby’s leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
C. The abortionist delivers the baby’s entire body, except for the head.
D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby’s skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.
E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child’s brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.
God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.
Think about this: You can’t give a kid an aspirin without parental notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental notification. This is insane.
There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright’s church for 2 0 years.
Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for 2 0 years. Now he is condemning Wright’s sermons. I wonder why now?
Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 2 8:19 - 2 0 “Go and make disciples of all nations.” This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you; talk like you believe what you believe etc. The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach him?
Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenets that said they have a ...
1. Co mm itment to the White Co mm unity
2 . Co mm itment to the White Family
3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic
4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Co mm unity.
5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions
6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System
7 . Personal co mm itment to embracement of the White Value System.
Would you support a President who went to a church like that?
Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama’s former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been marching outside.
This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 2 0 years and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can’t be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world.
A church can’t have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if itʼs a white church or a black church it’s still wrong. Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote.
Obama’s former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 19 7 0 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: “Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black co mm unity. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.
Cone is the man Obama’s mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?
So what does all this mean for the nation?
In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing - judgment.
Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 “Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.”
Then God says
1 Samuel 1:18 “ When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.” 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us. 2 0 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.” 2 1 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 2 2 The LORD answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.”
Here is what we know for sure.
God is not schizophrenic
He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.
Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.
For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way because of the economy.
I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama’s positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.
Since we know someone’s value system has to be placed on the nation,
1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation.
2 . Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation?
Blessings, Huntley Brown
thought you might like this.
All I have to say is for those who vote for Obama better get ready to collect lots of cans , bottle caps , coupons ,cigarette butts ,used stamps , and be ready to raid the local dumpsters.......
Because they're naive, gullible little twerps who think a college education makes them know all things about everything. Unfortunately, it takes a while to “smell the coffee” and meantime they will be paying 75% of their earnings in their later years to the government of Obama - if he wins. Education is fine - common sense is better.
Yes, I subscribe to snopes.com email updates and saw that. Thanks!
Except for most of them didn't spend a large portion of their lives working hard to get ahead.
They want to skip right to the part where they show up with their hands palm-up.
Why should we work hard when we can live well off of just a tiny portion of wealth redistributed from those more fortunate than us?
After all, the only thing that separates us from the more fortunate is fortune. That's whey they are called the more fortunate, and we are called the less fortunate.
It's not our fault we are poor. Why should we work hard to change it. If we had only been born rich we wouldn't have to work so hard. So by demanding wealth redistribution we are just demanding out turn, our fair share...
Don't kid yourself, Atlas also Shrugs if McCain wins.
