Obama Not Christian Enough!

This morning the TV was at it again: President Obama isn’t CHRISTIAN ENOUGH!

Let’s all beat a dead horse, shall we?

I guess this is what happens to a party (the GOP) when you haven’t any issues, and you haven’t a clue. You pick one thing and figure if you’re shrill enough, someone will listen. And having listened, those who haven’t hit the mute button might just believe you!

I mean, this is serious stuff, people! It says IN GOD WE TRUST on our money! Our founding fathers, having left Europe to escape religious persecution, surely intended to found a country that was tied to religion. And not just any religion, it had to be Christianity -  right-wing Evangelical Christianity! (No matter that they didn’t think it was important enough to mention THAT in the Constitution.)

Let’s look at the facts, here. 1. Obama bent way too far when greeting the Saudi prince. 2. His middle name is Hussein. 4. His father was foreign. 5. In his speech in Turkey, the President stressed that we don’t hate ALL Muslims. 6. (And this is by far the most damning) The First Family has not chosen a church yet!!!! I see the devil in the details, don’t you?

No matter that this man has only been in office a couple of months and that his plate is far fuller than any other incoming president in my lifetime. No matter that he’s trying to handle critical situations the likes of which we haven’t seen – ever. LET’S CRUCIFY HIM! Not for what he’s doing to solve our problems – but for NOT being Christian enough! Remember, our flag salute says, “One nation under God” – no matter that the phrase was only added in the 50’s.

All I can say is that the GOP needs to get real! I’m sorry they lost the election and are losing their following. But is it any wonder?? I’m an independent who looks closely at every candidate and party I vote for. Am I going to support a group of lose cannons who are spraying buckshot in every direction, hoping some of it hits something? Am I going to support a group that says NO to everything, instead of rolling up their sleeves and trying to help us all?? Am I going to vote for folks who think the most important issue is whether or not you’re wearing an American flag in your lapel?

Perhaps instead of blaming Obama for everything, it’s time for the GOP to take a good look at themselves. Not an easy task, but they could do it if they put aside their pettiness. And instead of screaming things that have nothing to do with the problems at hand, couldn’t the party leaders start steering this once GRAND old party back into the mainstream?

Oh, I forgot. Rush Limbaugh is leading the party, so no chance of that.
