Character matters. Senator Obama directly insulted real America, the folks in small towns across this country he called ”bitter people clinging to their guns and religion”.
I’m proud to say I was raised in small-town America. I consider that one of the greatest blessings of my life. The values instilled in me in that atmosphere have sustained me through life: honor your mother and your father, do an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay, say what you mean and mean what you say, your word is your bond, defend your family, defend your country, stand up and amount to something, go to church, give your time and talents first back to God who gave them. It was an industrial town, the town I came from, and no one had any real money, including my Mom and Dad. No one I knew was “bitter” or “clinging”. Those I knew were hard-working, family-oriented, God-fearing Christian people who’d give you the shirt off their back if you were in need. No, I didn’t know anyone who had a fancy Harvard bullet point on their resume but I knew a lot of people who had this - character. That’s something Senator Obama knows nothing about.
I don’t care how much money the Senator has in his campaign coffers – my vote is not for sale. I don’t care how many words he can string together – the slickest snake oil salesman can do that. Those things don’t matter. What matters is what I know about Senator Obama today:
1) His word is meaningless. He did the exact opposite of what he said he would do regarding campaign financing.
2) He is not truthful. He refused to provide an honest answer to Pastor Rick Warren’s question regarding his position on when life begins.
3) He is not respectful. He has derided Evangelical Christians for devotion to faith.
4) He is not trustworthy. He has demonstrated the worthlessness of his word.
5) He has saluted the people of Europe, but not the flag of the United States.
6) He has walked into the home of a domestic terrorist and anarchist, but not through the halls of Landstahl Regional Medical Center.
7) He has sat down with unindicted co-conspirators in Federal terrorism cases, but not with a fellow Senator in open forum before the American people.
On September 11, 2001 this nation suffered the worst act of terrorist aggression ever to be perpetrated on American soil. On September 19th of that same year, remarks by Barack Obama were published in the Hyde Park Herald. Following is an excerpt: “The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers. Such a failure of empathy … most often grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.” Translation: 3000 of our people died because the Islamic jihadists who killed them just couldn’t help themselves. They were poor, ignorant, helpless, and riddled with despair.
That conclusion would be laughable had it not been reached by a man who at this writing is encouraging you to choose him as your next president. Any candidate so incapable of discerning the true nature of avowed enemies of the United States is not fit to be Commander-In-Chief of our Armed Forces.
If you’re a voter in any one of the 15 states currently under investigation by the FBI for ACORN’s fraudulent registration practices, then today you know that an Obama win in your state has been determined more important than your right to an electoral process free from willful contamination. As of this writing, the Senator has neither disavowed ACORN and its practices nor expressed any concern regarding the probable compromise of your state’s election results.
Here is what those of us in real America have always known and lived by: Talk is cheap. Judge a man by what he does and the company he keeps. You’ll rarely, if ever, be wrong.
