Okay, folks. This is another political thesis on why Obama is not doing the part we thought he would but its angle will surprise you. Although I discern the administration to be awry, I'm always trying to see the side that could make the American public take more responsibility by including themselves in the imbalance of our country. After all, we are the receptors of what the world sells-be it merchandise, jobs, attitudes, and even beliefs. Why shouldn't we take inventory? I also believe in praying for our leaders so that God will get His way according to his order and plan.
Still, I am not like my friend, Paula Harrison Gatewood (Facebook member and political rally leader) who seemingly is answering the call to arms in the campaign against unfair government. My call is evangelism. But it took my sister-in-law to discern the hot topic of Obama's faulty identity that stirred me up on the nearly exhausted issue of religious labeling. So here is her brilliant statement which I will post as best as it was told to me with a little embellishment:
" The reason our country's a mess is not as much about what our president is doing wrong. It is about who he is NOT! It's not even as much as becoming president on the coattails of his cultural popularity. No. What kind of man has the guts to become president and change his religion to be accepted while the very people who voted for him are finding out something pretty serious. He's not who he is supposed to be. He's from a Muslim background; he turned Christian for the label and won and now the world is learning he is a fraud. He got away with something pretty spineless because it is important 'how' presidents are identified by their faith claim. He won't stand by what he is because he knows it won't go over. I'm very mad about that!"
So, folks, my sweet simple country girl sister-in-law breaks ground again and puts the fire back in the bull's feet. Tell us if you think it is important to claim what you believe? Why or why not?
According to Donna, it is not about an issue, really. It's about who someone IS. And in this light, who someone is NOT! ( No inflamed debates, please. Just practical and passionate suggestions.)
Chow down on that one!

For me, it's really about you.
There's only one of me, but there are several of you I've loved and keep nearby.

ReplyDeleteQUOTE OF THE CENTURY, MAYBE EVEN THE MILLENIUM!
Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can und...erstand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out, about America and it's President.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
Dianne, I don't look into the issue of who Obama is now because he clearly told us this before he was elected. The fools who choose to turn their heads, eyes, and ears on his spoken truth is why we are merely having this discussion today. It still amazes me today how many people still want to believe in him.
Mean what you say and say what you mean.
Thank you for a great post to relate. Of course, Paula. Knowing your honesty, your application does not surprise me, though your response is furthering the idea right to the root, and that is always a pleasant surprise!
