What???

Sometimes, I guess I Just Don't "Get It"

"What don't you get?" you may ask. I don't get how people within certain demographics could support Obama. It doesn't make any logical sense and that's what's so hard to understand. OK, I can see how those who turn to the mainstream media as their source of information could be caught up in the resulting Obama-mania. They have their 'news' and refuse to listen to anything else. I can understand why other people in certain groups...such as Planned Parenthood & abortionists...would support Barack Obama; he champions their cause. I understand why liberals and radicals would support BHO...after all he's really one of them at heart.

Here's where I just don't get it...how can any Jewish, Christian or military people support him? I mean people who otherwise seem to have some intelligence and understanding of things. How can any rational, thinking, informed Christian, Jew or soldier want to elect BHO as the President? Alright, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they really are informed, etc... That's just the way I am...regardless of first impressions or instinct, I try to give a person that benefit -- at least until they show me otherwise.

Maybe my answer is in that last paragraph...maybe those people are not informed - they're actually misinformed and just don't know it. Everybody must know that a person can sincerely believe something and can be sincerely wrong because they were misinformed, misled, lied to. I mean, seriously, how could a Jewish person just listen to Obama's soothing words spoken trying to win their vote and then ignore the fact of his record - knowing BHO actually supported, voted, and acted for...even praised Israel's enemies? And I mean enemies that have sworn to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. How could a soldier (who, although patriotic, doesn't like the thought of being deployed into a war zone - of course) support a candidate after only listening to his eloquent and scripted public speeches? Doesn't everyone know that Obama has made a career out of telling everyone whatever he thinks they want to hear at the moment and then changing it the minute it's expedient? Don't they know that in spite of all his words about getting them out of Iraq...he keeps changing his statements and his timeline and won't even commit to having them out by the end of his first term (that would be 2013). Don't they realize he votes to cut support for the troops and has pledged quite a few changes that WILL make America defenseless? I heard his very plain statements myself. The very people who have been willing to defend our nation and freedom in the world could not want to elect a President whose policies could mean the end of our nation...could they? Not really. In spite of hearing that some do, there is good evidence that the vast majority of the military Supports Senator John McCain!

And Christians...that's the hardest one for me to reconcile in my own mind. You see, I love the Jewish people and I strongly support Israel. I honor & respect our military people and their families. But, I AM a Christian. That's what makes it a little weird to hear an intelligent-sounding Christian supporting BHO. I don't say that just because I don't support him; I say it because BHO is opposed to what I (as a Christian) stand for. His actions go against Biblical principles. How can any Christian support that? It's something I've wondered about during this election season. All I can figure is that they, too, are actually uninformed or misinformed. The only other option is that they are among those who call themselves "progressive Christians" ...basically these are people who do not really take God's word at His word. They're like those who do not believe the Constitution is written in ink...they want to call it a 'living, changing document' so that they can constantly change it to suit themselves. “Progressive Christians” want to do that with the Bible. I've tried to find out if there was anything else that would cause a Christian to vote against Christian beliefs...to understand the 'why' of it. But that was just another one of those so-called 'negative' un-welcome (& unanswered) questions. ...And that takes me to my next thought....

What troubles me most about this is that I see something scary going on and even some Christians aren't exempt from it. What is it? ...It's this attitude that defines the Obama camp and is an unhealthy attitude. If someone mentions something (anything) that BHO (or a BHO supporter) doesn't want to hear or answer, They Will Be Attacked. If they can't keep it out of the public's eyes, these questioning people will be called things that they aren't. They will be accused of doing things that they aren't. They may be ridiculed or see their family attacked. Their personal lives will be invaded and nothing will stop them from being shredded to the best of the BHO camp's ability. Their private business flung open before America. Whatever it was that had been brought up will be denied, then twisted and turned on Obama's opponent. Their stations will be cut off, their reporters will be thrown off the plane. And then they say 'the other side is negative' (Excuse me???). Un-welcomed questions will NOT be answered and will have consequences for anyone who dares to be "negative" enough to smear Obama by asking them. Concerns and questions about Obama's character, judgment and integrity will not be tolerated by him, his followers, or his media. This is the attitude of censorship that a dictator displays. It does not speak well of anyone who would be a leader of our nation.

Obama has refused to answer any of the legitimate questions & concerns of the American people...AND THERE ARE MANY! Maybe because when he does have an un-scripted moment...he's likely to let his real beliefs slip out:

• "I just believe that when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody."
• "...they cling to their guns and religion..." etc....
• What's his cut-off for a middle-class income? $250,000. ...no $200,000. well, really it's $150,000. actually that's $120,000(oops -he shouldn't have said that) And what he actually did was vote for tax increases on people who made $41,600. in the last year or so. When running for his state senate seat, he also used the promise of tax cuts for 95% of them...then he actually voted for tax increases.

Maybe it's because he knows he can't produce proof that he's eligible to be President...because he really isn't. And now, the bottom line: Maybe it's because it would be counter-productive in his (Saul Alinsky style) attempt to manipulate the masses into doing exactly what he wants them to do for him and his radical cohorts...vote for him.

Talk about "signs of the times"... This Election season has been a pretty good illustration of that. Of course this shouldn't require repeating... (but I will anyway) :-) One of the great things about America is that we are all free to have our own opinions, vote for our choice, and determine 'who' we will be. That's as it Should Be. I've always tried to understand somebody else's point of view - even when I completely disagree with it. The point I make with this Blog is just this: when I look at what some people are choosing... I Just Don't Get it.
