So I got this email from my mom the other day and just opened it. This is what it said:
"'no longer a Christian Nation'
As I was listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as
Barack Obama made the statement with pride...we are no longer a Christian
nation; we are now a Nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, . . .'
As with so many other statements I've heard him (and his wife) make, I never
thought I'd see the day that I'd hear something like that from a
presidential candidate in this nation. To think our forefathers fought and
died for the right for our nation to be a Christian Nation--and to have this
man say with pride that we are no longer that. How far this nation has come
from what our founding fathers intended it to be.
I hope that each of you will do what I'm doing now--send your concerns,
written simply and sincerely, to the Christians on your email list. With
God's help, and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can
show this man and the world in November that we are, indeed, still a
Christian nation!"
Now, keep in mind that the founding fathers were all atheists, agnostics, or deists. NOT CHRISTIANS- Like they are playing. Our pledge
didn't have "under God" added in until the 50s. And I'm so sick of seeing shit like this against Obama. I'd be sick of it if it were against McCain either. Or Hillary, or Kerry, or Gore, or Bush, or any fing other presidential candidate. Leave religion OUT of politics.
But this did come from my mom who said that Obama was a "terrorist" and has made statements about a "colored" (cleaned up for my tastes) man taking office. GET THE HELL OVER IT! He's black, whooopie. The real story is that it's no longer ok to attack him as a black man and say we don't exactly want him in office because he's black, so we have to attack other places. These people are basically calling this man a "godless negro." If it were a different time or I were a different person, maybe that would be my POV too based on where I live, you know where the KKK still has offices, but that's bullshit to me. If you have a problem, then don't vote for him. Don't be petty and small and attack him senselessly. That's just childish.
Attack the issues, not the man. That's the American Way, or at least it
should be the American Way.
