If Obama wins, America Loses

Benghazi, Libya.

     Apparently, some irresponsible Israeli’s were in the middle of making a film (actually, from what I saw, it was a very low budget YouTube video) with a negative bent towards the Muslim religion and their prophet Mohammed.  It sparked a lot of controversy and hatred among militant Muslims.  The Christian community’s reaction is mild by comparison when they belittle our faith and attack our Blessed Savior, but these Muslim extremists apparently wanted blood for this video, and a group of them, called Ansar el-Sharia, the same group that we apparently helped to wrestle control of Libya away from terrorist Muammar Gadaffi, attacked the US Embassy, sighting this video as the reason for the attack.  They stormed the Embassy, and killed four Americans:  Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, diplomat Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, who were trying to protect Stevens and Smith.

     Now, there are a myriad of questions behind these attacks:  What really happened, why did they really attack, and what was the response of Obama and the White House?  The White House, you see, shifted their story in the hours, days, and weeks since the attack, at first stating that the attack was in response to the anti-Muslim YouTube video, then retracting and calling it terrorism, it seems, only when pressured for answers. 

     In fact, there is irrefutable evidence that shows 1) It was a pre-planned attack that had nothing to do with the dumb video, 2) several emails and communications from Chris Stevens and the American Embassy in Libya to the White House before the attack made it clear the danger that was about to happen, 3) Military teams, which were ready and could have aided the Embassy, were ordered to “stand down”, leaving Woods and Doherty all alone, 4) the Obama administration covered it up, 5) they have been disrespectful to the slain and those who are questioning them, including bold-faced lies during the debates, and 6) the mainstream media is not uncovering any of it, and we are left to our own sources on the internet, conservative talk radio, or Fox News to discover exactly what happened and Obama’s role in it all.

     During the debates, while my liberal friends are saying they either didn’t watch it or they think both sides are just as bad since they are all politicians (yet they, of course, are still going to vote for Obama), what I saw was Romney and Ryan ATTEMPTING to be polite, but being forced into more of a confrontation by both Obama and Biden.

During the vice presidential debate, while Ryan was cool, calm, controlled, collected, and congenial, Biden was demeaning, dismissive, derisive, divisive, and disrespectful, behavior that my brother assures me, using his daughter’s debate team directives, would have lost him the debate, yet the liberal democrats are heaping praises upon him for such behavior!  And the liberal moderators haven’t been any help either, attacking the republican candidates and coddling the democrats.  When the issue of Benghazi was brought up during the second debate, and Romney questioned the president’s reaction to it, Obama smugly deferred to liberal moderator Candy Crowley, who informed Governor Romney that Obama in fact did use the term “act of terror” within days of the Libya attack. So what is her explanation for the Obama administration even mentioning that dumb red herring video, or ignoring the emails and communications sent to them, warning them about the impending attack?  For that matter, what is the President’s answer?  The attack lasted for seven hours, and though some Libyans did attempt to help, where were our troops?  Not ordered to go in and save the American Ambassador to Libya and diplomat Sean Smith, who was reduced to communicating messages for help through a gambling website!  In fact, the two former Navy SEALs were ordered to “Stand Down”.  In the days following, during a Daily Show taping, Obama said the situation “is not optimal”, drawing the ire of Sean Smith’s mother, who accused the White House of telling outright lies about what really happened in Benghazi.  “My son is NOT very optimal,” she retorted, “He is very dead.”

     Then Charles Woods, the father of slain State Department official Tyrone Woods, said on the Glen Beck program that during his son’s memorial service, about a half hour after introducing himself, Vice President Joe Biden, in what he described as “an extremely loud and boisterous voice,” asked him “Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?”  And this is who they want to vote for over Romney and Ryan?

     Mark my words!  If they get a second term, we are in serious trouble!

     It sickens me to know that Obama has an actual chance to become President again for a second term even after his piss-poor performance over the last four years, his deceptive stimulus bill and Obamacare, and his lies about Benghazi, and the liberals that I know – both those who admit to being liberal, and the ones who don’t even know what they are, are just so brainwashed, I can’t talk sense into any of them.  None of us can, despite repeated attempts.  Multiply that by a country, and perhaps we deserve to fall.  George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Moore, John Adams – none of them would recognize this country.  We can even go more recent if you like.  Martin Luther King Jr. and Ronald Reagan wouldn’t recognize it either.  In some sense, they may like a few of the things that they would see, such as “little black boys and girls holding hands with little white boys and girls,” but I think that, for the most part, they would be appalled!  

For instance, I’m all for a color blind way of looking at society and people, such as in the lyrics to “Colored People” by dc Talk:  “A piece of canvas is only the beginning for it / Takes on character with every loving stroke / This thing of beauty is the passion of an Artist’s touch / By God’s design, we are a skin kaleidoscope!”  That paints a warm, colorful, desirable picture of the way things ought to be (and the way things are these days, for the most part – otherwise, we wouldn’t have a black President, and I wouldn’t have such admiration for people like Dinesh D’Souza).  Then compare all of that with the creepy new video in which a bunch of indoctrinated Stepford Children, reminiscent of the Nazi youth, the Children of the Corn, and the Village of the Damned, sing liberal propaganda in support of Obama:  “We’re the children of the future / American through and through / But something happened to our country / And we’re kinda blaming you.”  As if those lyrics aren’t bad enough, check this out:  “We haven’t killed all the polar bears / but it’s not for lack of trying / Big Bird is sacked / The earth is cracked / And the atmosphere is frying / Congress went home early / They did their best we know / You can’t cut spending / With elections pending / Unless it’s welfare dough”.  Is this our future?  Programmed political puppets for the left?  With the obvious backlash, it is now difficult to actually even find the video, but check out here and here.

Not that the liberals would even care.  They have their agenda, and they don’t respect the founding fathers anyway, and although they do respect MLK, they don’t want anyone to actually know he was a devout Christian!  They love to tout any flaw they might find in any of the founding fathers, and seem to derive particular glee in noting Jefferson’s dalliances with his slaves, his dabbling in deism, and Adams’ abrasive personality, all while championing Obama’s and Biden’s boorish, sarcastic and flippant behavior during the debates, or at the very least point out, falsely, that Romney and Ryan are acting the same way.  That’s just not true, and regardless, this behavior from the left is a far cry from Obama’s “Hope and Change” platform from four years ago.  But again, the left could care less!

     Why is it that when someone intelligent comes along (not someone like Michael Moore, but someone who actually has a brain in their head and isn’t just a mouthpiece for their cherished leader) such as Dinesh D’Souza, and spells out the trouble we are in by allowing someone like Barak Obama to lead us, and then lead us again, without taking serious the accusations that are leveled against him, using evidence provided through his own background, his own words, his own books The Audacity of Hope and Dreams From my Father, and his own record!  Why don’t people care?

     I can see that the freedom allowed our citizens to believe whatever they want to believe, and live whatever way they want to live, and to follow whoever they want to follow, is not good for us, and is tearing us apart.  We need healing, or we need to be torn apart.  What they choose to follow may seem, on the surface, to be the right thing to do.  Why can’t they see that it is wrong, even when it is blatantly pointed out to them?

     I just need to keep remembering that God is the focus, and hope that He helps us out of this mess, if it is His will.  And if not, then I pray that God is with us in the troubling times to come.  I am scared for our future.  I am scared for my future as an individual.  I am scared for our future as a nation.  Even if Romney and Ryan win, and I do so want them to win, and they can go a long way towards healing this country, this nation will still be divided.  Religion and politics are one of the biggest hurdles to overcome for people to stay civilized or remain friends.            
     God, heal this nation, or help me to rise above so that I don’t end up sinking into the abyss along with the sinners of America, who love their freedom to commit sin - or redefine sin - or not recognize it as sin - more than they love You.

     Sometimes I feel like I need to fast from life.  Like the men at the end of The Stand, who are sent out on foot to Las Vegas with nothing more than the clothes on their backs, I feel I need to unplug and figure out what is really important and what is really real.  Sometimes, I wonder if that is what God wanted of me when I went through my jobless struggle in the wilderness.  It just seems these days that everything gets so jumbled, especially experiencing this year’s Presidential race through the prism of the internet and Facebook.  I need to be cleaned out and find that one direction amid all this noise.  God is the only One who can really make sense of it all.
