Well, I waited until I really had something to say before I blogged again. I'm a little peeved about our President and some of the things he's been saying overseas. First off, I wish he would quit trashing Bush and the past administration. Mainly because it's unbecoming for a president to blame everyone else, and second, HE WAS PART OF IT. Last I checked, the Senate voted on stuff in the last few years, and he was a senator. PLUS the last 4 years have been democrat controlled, so he can't say it's us republicans that are the cause to everything.
And today the remark about us not being "at war with Islam." No matter what they want to say in this administration, we are fighting a war on TERROR. That's terrorists and terrorist attacks. I do not hate a lot of things, but I HATE these soft & fuzzy terms that they want to use. It's stupid and unneccessary. And now to act like Al Queda only in Afghanistan is an issue, and that there are no Islamic extremeists... What the heck?
I understand that it's helpful that other countries want to work with us, but to be honest, I truly could care less if they like us. This country and our president need to do absolutely everything possible to keep us safe, and if some other country doesn't like it, TOUGH! I'm worried that our president cares more about what other countries think of him and not what Americans think. And saying we are arrogant and apologizing for things... it really upsets me. I'm PROUD to be an American. I stand silently for the national anthem. I pray for our troops. I am so truly honored that my grandfather and many other relatives fought for this country. I would not be here today if my grandmothers first husband was not killed during the Battle of the Bulge, fighting for all of us in this great place. I get choked up everytime I hear "Taps". I try to remember that I am so lucky to be born in this country, and have the opportunities that I have, and the things I have. Times are tough, but they are so much worse in other places. So I get pretty upset when our leader is overseas and seems to be ashamed of us... Look, I'm not saying that mistakes have not been made, but come on! It's amazing to me that the Dixie Chicks made a comment about George Bush all those years ago and people were so upset that they were burning their CDs and protesting radio stations to not play their songs. This was a musical group. Now we have a president that is sort of doing the same thing, and were is the backlash?
And then we have the whole deal with North Korea. Why will no one, including the United States, not stand up to these guys? Can we not do ANYTHING? Seems to me that condemming their acts is not working, they do not care. It's like giving a disobedient child a time out for being bad, and then 5 minutes later letting them go back to being bad... The UN is obviously not going to do a darn thing. The whole thing stinks.
Well, I think I'm ending my rant with that... I think... Let me leave with this. PRAY for our President. God knows what needs to be done, he can change the president's heart.

You are a blogger after my own heart. :)
ReplyDeleteI believe the fact that Obama says things like we are not at war with Islam, donating billions to Islamic countries that hate us, and is covering Christian symbols says that Obama isn't who he said he is during the election. I don't beleive he converted. I believe his is Islamic.
ReplyDeleteHis overseas trip really sickened me until this week when the European press corp started to make fun of him. Even Sarkozy got in on the laughs saying he is going to ask him to walk on water when he comes to France in June.
The truths are coming out.
