Dear
Friends,
I was asked yesterday
if I was "okay" ... and frankly the answer is no, not at all, not even close.
I'm on auto-pilot right now, just going through the motions in a world that has
fundamentally changed for the worse and will never be the same again. I haven't
slept much more than a few minutes in the last 48-hours with my mind trying to
understand what happened on Tuesday... reading, watching Robin Hood again,
sitting next to a waterfall, working on my book, listening to music... nothing
has worked because my thoughts keep instantly returning to the fact that the
country I grew up believing in and loving died this week... and not from a major
catastrophe compliments of Mother Nature, a Biblical plague, or an invasion of a
foreign country... worse... what once was the greatest country in the world
committed suicide by voting to reward wrong!
More of less? I truly don't
understand.
Unless one admits to being a leech, a thief, a traitor, or
totally terminally retarded... i.e., a Kool-Aid gulping Democrat... how could
anyone vote for four more years of the worst President, bar none, in the history
of this country? I mean I get it the first time, though I didn't agree...no
known history, the vapid patter sounded good and it was a chance to pat oneself
on the back for putting the first black man in the Oval Office. I even
understand how the brain dead, zombied by the incessant braying of the national
media, could see their ballot casting as a negation of the George Bush years.
But now? How does one ignore all the stuff that has happened in the last four
years?
How?
How does someone vote for a party that booed God at their
convention? How does a Jew vote for regime that shows disdain for our only
Mideast friend, Israel, and is about to allow Iran to go nuclear? How does a
Catholic vote for the party that wants to override their beliefs through caveats
about abortion and contraception in Obamacare? How does one ignore what happened
in Libya on 9/11... an administration that for misguided political expediency
ignored our embassy's requests for security, watched four Americans murdered and
did nothing as pleas of help were sent its way for over seven hours, and then
lied to the American people for weeks and covered up what actually took place
and why? How does one ignore the Justice Department breaking the law with its
Fast and Furious program and giving weapons to Mexican criminals which has
resulted in over a hundred deaths, including the loss of United States Border
Patrol Agent Brian Terry... or the cover-up which is still taking place at the
behest of this President and his "powers?" How does someone want millions more
of taxpayer dollars to go into Obama donor pockets behind the disguise of
investments in solar energy like Solyndra and so many others? How does one
ignore the cost of gasoline? How does one ignore how much it costs to buy simple
groceries these days? How does one look the other way and not rage over the
killing of the Keystone Pipeline ... a project which would allow the country to
move away from a need to seek our energy from Muslim maniacs, along with
lowering the cost of fuel and creating thousands of jobs? Those topics don't
grab you, how about burying your head in the sand about our country going
TRILLIONS of dollars deeper in debt and borrowing money from the Chinese, that
foreign Obama endorsers are human scumbags like Putin, Chavez, and Castro, that
the unemployment numbers are being cooked on a weekly basis and for months and
months and months, were still over 8%, or he continual use of the race card
against anyone that opposes the hideous policies of this administration?
Can
anyone not be aware of the fact that the Progressives gleefully stooped to new
lows during the campaign to slime an intelligent and decent man that has
provided thousands with jobs and given millions to charity?
How does someone
prefer a bombastic idiot like Joe Biden over a man like Paul Ryan? How can over
60% of the country want Obamacare repealed, and yet vote in a manner that locks
in quite possibly forever, guaranteeing high costs and government bureaucratic
nincompoops making life and death decisions about people's healthcare? How can
this President be given four more years when he has established himself as so
mendacious as to make a serial liar like Bill Clinton look like a fount of
veracity and light? How can a vote be given to a cast of vermin that sues its
own states for trying to protect their borders or prevent voter fraud by
requiring a photo ID at polling stations? How can anyone that believes in the
Declaration of Independence or the Constitution cast their ballot for the
communist and socialist vipers Obama has appointed to various government
offices, or how he has used a myriad of executive orders to rule when his wants
conflicted with laws passed by Congress?
And on and on ... a vote Tuesday for
Obama was a vote to ignore all the horrors that have been taking place on a
daily basis since he was sworn in!
And yet that is what happened
Tuesday.
I live in a country called America, but it has barely any
resemblance whatsoever to the nation I was born into or have read about in
history books all my life ... a special place that was beacon of freedom and
offered the chance for a person to rise on the sun of their labors. Not a land
of wealth distribution, class warfare, and millions wanting the government to
babysit them from womb to tomb ... and under the control of evil fouls like
Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, and others of their ilk that in a more just
reality would be stood up in front of firing squads for their malfeasance,
theft, and treasonous acts.
So no, I'm not okay... and with the situation as
it is I'm not sure I ever will be again. What I am at the moment is angry, sad,
bitter, ashamed, sick, hurt, confused, disappointed and very fearful. Is there a
word that blends all those feelings together... if there is that is me. Oh, and
mix in this too...resolved to keep my belief in God and the moral values I've
been taught and cherish intact to the last breath I take, loving all the friends
and family I hold dear.
