My Blog- My Feelings

Let me say that I do believe that it is so very important for every person to cast their vote and have their say. However, I also believe that an uninformed, uneducated vote is worse than not voting at all. I watched countless interviews of people yesterday and last night who voted for Obama and it is safe for me to say that at least 80% of the people interviewed had no idea about what his policies are and what his plans are for this country. Some of the interviewers asked the Obama voters if they agreed on this policy or that policy and the voters emphatically said "Oh, yes, of course I think that is a great thing." Would have been fine, but the interviewers were speaking of Mc Cain's policies and were proving a point. This election was race-driven and that should never be the case. (Especially considering that Obama is half caucasian- why does no-one mention that?) I am going to pray for him and for him to do the right thing just like I would anyone who got elected. But I have some serious questions I wish he would answer for me. Like why he removed the American flag emblem from his plane and replaced it with a picture of himself. Or why he does not place his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance. Or how he could attend a racist/extremist church for 20 years and then try to say that he does not follow the teachings of the preacher there. As a Christian, I cannot understand how another Christian could vote for someone who supports partial birth abortion. Don't know what that is? Go look it up. It is a horrific practice that should be stopped. It is murder in the purest form. How will he handle terrorist issues? Someone who has no experience in that area? I am so upset right now. Not to mention that he is going to take all kinds of money from people like me and my husband, who have worked our butts off to put ourselves through college, sacrificed and scraped to open the practice, and now we will be forced to give hard-earned money to people sitting at home on their rears watching Jerry Springer all day. How is that going to help our economy? Brian and I give money to several different charities. That should be our choice. I believe in rewarding hard work. His plan rewards laziness. Even Democrats have said that his plan mimics those in Europe- that are failing miserably by the way. This economic crisis we are in is blamed on Bush- but no-one seems to remember that Clinton is the one who passed the bill allowing people to buy homes when they could not afford them, and now we see the results of that. I have to keep reminding myself that in the end, Obama has no power over me that I don't give him. He cannot determine my values and my beliefs. Christians are going to have to take a stand for things like never before. God will take care of those who trust in Him- I know that and take comfort in it. Anyway- I am done with my rant. If it upsets you, then don't read it. It is my opinion and my blog. I have gotten it out and now I can move on to praying for our country and genuinely praying for Obama- that God will touch his heart and that he would seek God's guidance in his decisions. I want to be able to believe that things won't be as bad as I think.........
