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 o f 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 that the 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 nowhe re and as the facts come out little by 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!

Unfortunately for the little o the common people are nameless, faceless masses of the unenlightened who are nothing more than bit players in his grand drama.
They are as valueless to him as grains of sand. Like all megalomaniacs I fear he would be willing to sacrifice the lives of thousands if not millions if he believed that it was necessary for him to realize his remaking of America into a utopian image.
People who trumpet change sometimes forget that human nature is not changeable, but are willing to give everything we have in an attempt to prove that it is.
Genetic man and economic man are constructs of this delusion. Racial purification and ownership of all by the state were monstrous experiments whose failure was never accepted by those who remain convinced that it can be done if only..... if only.....if only....we have the right leader or the right program.
The idealistic elitists that have seized power during the 20th century, Marx, Lenin, Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot, have all ended badly for humankind.
Beware of grand visions. Followers believe they will be riding in the tanks when in truth they will be crushed under them.
We may be approaching a time when the second amendment will be called upon to save the other ones.
“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?”
My thoughts exactly. I live in a town adjacent to Fort Hood, Texas and it’s fair to say that should Burqabama honor our post with a visit, he’d find tens of thousands of servicemen and women clinging to their guns and religion. Seems they both come in quite handy when you’re serving on
the front lines.
I am a good old boy.....
it just so happens that I live in Brooklyn, New York....
I was Navy, uncle Navy, Pop Pop was a war hero in WWI...
I am looking at two autographed photos from 1918..
one is, did I mention I am an Irishman?........
Father Duffy..........
the other is Colonel William “Wild Bill” Donovan.
Hmph. Guys like you must completely confound Obama. You come from a long line of bitter clingers, yet you call Brooklyn (of all places) home. Shouldn’t you be living in “the sticks” like the rest of us uneducated relics of the past??! :)
