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.
Gar, I appreciate your blog if for no other reason than it saves me from the work involved in expressing my opinions. Instead of all the tedium, I can just read yours and go "yep", "yep", "yep", "got that right", "bravo", and "amen". Spot on again. One minor comment - although I believe you already know this, it bears emphasizing that MLK was not only a Christian, but a republican as well. I don't have your fortitude to maintain something like this, so I say "keep up the good work, dear brother...keep it up".
