Obama won -- Get over it!?

Soon after the election, an acquaintance sent me an email telling me that "the vote came in, Obama won, and we all need to move on."

Move on? MOVE ON?! Hmmm. Should I also stick my head in the ground like an ostrich and pretend that everything is fine?!

"If we don't fight hard enough for the things we stand for, at some point we have to recognize that we don't really stand for them. ~Paul Wellstone~"

Is it any wonder our country is in such a mess?! Imagine if our forefathers had just "moved on" before deciding to fight for our independence! What if our nation had just "moved on" when pearl harbor was attacked? Now, you might say, "Well those were huge events and this was just an election." Well, I am sorry to burst your little denial bubble, but the election of a man who has proven to be an enemy of God to lead our beautiful America IS A HUGE EVENT! It is a terrible catastrophe, actually! You do not have to believe me. You can call me crazy even. BUT MARK MY WORDS---History will prove that the election of Barack Hussein Obama was a pivotal moment in our nation's history of which the sad consequences will be felt for generations the world over!

So how did I respond to my acquaintance? Here is a copy of the email I sent:


Hello.......

Thank you for writing me. I pray that you understand what I am about to say and are not offended. If however, what I write does offend, then, although I feel bad for you, I make no apologies for the truth. My loyalties will ALWAYS be to my lord and savior, Jesus Christ, before any man or woman.

Please understand that for those of us whom place a high value on morality and family values and actually prove it by our vote, it is not just a matter of "moving on" but of continuing to stand up for truth and righteousness. As a follower of Christ, I have higher moral standards to follow than those of the "world".

Needless to say, I am saddened and surprised that, calling yourself a Catholic, you would vote for such an immoral, liberal, socialist, and anti-American for economic reasons. Maybe one day we can discuss it, as most people who voted "Obama" can never give me any solid reasons for doing so. They just repeat the same old "change" or war or economics rhetoric. Ironically, economics are not going to get better under Obama.

Obama is going to bring "change" alright, just not the change people wanted or thought! History will reveal what many of us who truly took the time to educate ourselves already know. We actually looked at the candidates voting records and learned what they really stood for and not just the pretty words they said, like "yes, we can!"

The McCain/Palin 2008 republican platform was the most pro-life and pro-marriage conservative platform ever, even more so than Ronald Reagan's republican platform (I was a youngster then, but I have studied all the great presidents of the past), whereas the 2008 democratic platform was the most pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, most liberal platform EVER in the history of the United States. Obama Did not advertise that and sadly, most people got all their news from the Obama-biased media who fed them nothing but hype and lies and NEVER told the truth and twisted the facts.

This election revealed A LOT about everyone. At the end of our lives, God is not going to care if your "side" won or lost. He is simply going to care: What side where you on? Where you on the side of protecting our precious unborn babies? Where you on the side of protecting the sanctity and institution of marriage? Where you on the side of truth and righteousness? As many brave Pastors and Priests have told their congregations in the weeks following the election, "If you voted for Obama, you voted for a MURDERER. If you voted for Obama, you voted AGAINST God."

How dare they call themselves Christians or Catholics or followers of Christ!! Now, No one has the right to judge, however, clearly, people chose a "side" in this election. Just by hearing who people voted for reveals a lot about that person and their integrity and relationship with their savior OR lack thereof.

This nation has been a blessed nation BECAUSE we have been a nation founded on Judeo-Christian values. For the past 50 years, this country has been turning away from God and still expecting to be blessed. We do not vote for financial reasons and throw aside morality. We will get neither and lose both. We need to vote for MORALITY and then can again become a nation with blessings abound, financial and otherwise.

I don't need or want Obama or any other earthly figure to be my "messiah" or save me. I ALREADY have a messiah and a savior. His name is Jesus Christ.

For those of us who truly love God AND love our country, this is a sad time. By reading the Bible people can learn that when a man of Obama's character and values is ALLOWED by God to rule, it is a time for judgment. America has turned away from God and so America now has the president we deserve. I wonder if we are we still one nation under God. Where are people placing their faith in God or in man?

" If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 14

Thank you again for writing me and know that you are in my prayers,

Father forgive those who voted for Obama, for they know not what they did. And forgive the rest of us for not doing enough and allowing it to happen. Gives us the strength and the courage to never cower down to the ways of this world and to always stand up for truth and righteousness. Amen.
