A Letter from a Soldier's Wife
Self | 11/4/08 | Self

Posted on 11/04/2008 10:34:57 PM PST by Marie

Well, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida... you did it. You delivered my husband's life and the lives of hundreds of thousands of service members into the hands of an American-hating Socialist.

You've emboldened our enemies and, by that action, put our service men and women directly into harm's way.

After surviving the eight years of the Clinton administration, I really thought the worst was behind us, but you proved me wrong.

After 18 years of military service and much sacrifice from everyone in this family, you showed your gratitude by throwing us to the dogs like so much meat.

I hope your ideology keeps you free. If Obama has his way, we won't be able to.

I am mad at Bush and McCain for their poor political decisions that have led us to this sorry pass. Our best hope is that Obama and the Democrats will do as they are wont to do and make so many mistakes that they soon get booted out of office.

Marie and everyone else.

Have solace. As another service member stated, we serve to defend against all enemies both foreign and domestic.

We;ll be ok because of your husband and you. Because of our troops.

Think about it. President Bush has done the right things in keeping us safe for the past years since 9-11. There have been so many foiled domestic plots. NUMEROUS plots that the public doesn’t even know about. ONE man didn’t do that alone.

We know our troops were pulling for a true hero, someone they could trust. But that didn’t happen.

Our troops have learned to have cool heads under intense situations.

Remember that Charlie Rangel wanted to re instate the draft!

We come from a time when there WAS a draft. We’re praying and hoping we can continue on with a volunteer military. When you force people to do things against their will, you have anarchy and chaos.

Tonight we were extremely proud of Senator McCain and Governor Palin. They know how important it is for a smooth transition of power.

The last two elections weren’t done as classy as this one will be.

At the bottom I’m going to post a link from a reporter/lawyer that worked for John Kerry. I think he finally grew a set and speaks to the disgusting way President Bush has been treated all these years.

God Bless you and your husband and all who serve this great nation. We thank every service member we see and their families. And if the family member isn’t with them, we ask them to thank their family, because families serve too!

Remember, the people who voted for Obama are either liberal haters or have been BOUGHT during this election and BRAINWASHED by the liberal media for President Bush’s “entire” tenure as President.

We’re proud of our President and we couldn’t be prouder of our troops.

Here’s the article;

I might add Rockingham, we and a lot of others we know agree with this author ( a former John Kerry supporter and reporter no less.)

What happened to this President and Tony Blair was total brainwashing to the masses by the liberal medias both here and the UK.

If you can’t recognize what happened here, the media, the money and then seeing who the REAL Obama was. Then God protect you.

I myself posted horrific links to recent stories from The Washington Times, Hannity.com and other sources that told of his atrocities campaigning with Odinga in Kenya in 06. On Tax dollars which violated the Logan act. Children died! They were raped and sodomized! Hacked to death with machetes!

1000 people dead, 300,000 injured and over 300 Christian churches destroyed. In one church 50 people were locked in and killed as it was set fire to.

The African Internation Press reported on it too!

The Kenyan Government protested about him campaigning on a Visa that stated he was coming to “nurture relations with the Government” then spoke out against it in hostility!

It’s to late now. But that same Government was helping us against al Quaeda. And the President is still the President. Odinga is the Prime Minister. It was the only way to get the violence to calm down!!!

Nice huh?

OH, and Odinga who stated he was Christian, seems he has a different kind of religious tie.

But, again...

What good does it do to worry.. Our whole citizenship followed like sheep. Ignorant sheep.

He and Michelle burned OUR FLAG! And, on a meet the press interview, he stated a better national anthem should be sung. One that would show the world we are about love and peace. Not “bombs bursting in air”. This is why he couldn’t put his hand on his heart all these years! (Oh yeah... I’ll have to leave my mind off this, but I won’t forget. For the sake of my country,... I’ll be very careful.)

President Bush AND Sen. McCain are both extremely honorable men. YOU just don’t acknowledge (or perhaps even understand) what they’ve been up against.

Bush and McCain are indeed honorable men. So also may a defeated general, losing trial lawyer, or failed businessman be good and honorable but found wanting when tested. Despite their personal qualities, mistakes must be accounted so that the correct lessons may be drawn.

For the sake of understanding the defeats we have suffered, Bush and McCain's abilities and record merit clear eyed scrutiny by their allies. Both frequently distanced themselves from conservatism and sought the false unity of bipartisan agreement instead of the clash of honest and civil partisanship.

In addition, McCain's campaign was badly organized, hobbled by poor strategic choices, and centered on his biography and personal appeal instead of a coherent set of issues. Against implacable enemies, Reagan won by running on conservative issues and advocating for them with eloquence, energy, and personal charm. Why has his winning example been forgotten?

The Iraqis are not happy either. They fear for their future.

My brother told me the same thing yesterday.

Marie, not everyone in Ohio voted for that guy. As a man who has a son in law,(my grand sons father) in the army and two time Iraq server, I am appalled by the outcome in ohio. I wanted a war hero not a legislative zero in the the white house. Obama did not win by much in Ohio, although a win is a win.
If you look at the breakdown of votes by Ohio counties it occurred in the metro city’s and most of them are college city’s, Columbus, Toldeo/Cleveland, Athens. Young people with big hearts but no brains as of yet, they voted on their feelings(american idolism) not their heads and they will have to feel their mistake(higher taxes and no jobs)to understand it, although tough that will be on all of us.
PA is another story, they actually reelected Murtha who called them racists and rednecks... go figure
God bless all who serve, we ARE because of what THEY do
