What I Believe....by Carol

My friend Carol sent me a wonderful document on what she believes and although I would love to take the credit for it, I will give her the credit but will also say that I agree with her 100%.

When people ask me why I say I could never vote for Barack Obama I tell them it’s because he is the antithesis of what I believe. If you wonder what that is, here is a start….

1. I believe that I made my money without the government’s help and I can spend it without its help. I don’t need Obama to spread my “wealth” around!
2. I believe in capitalism and free enterprise. The government has never run a successful program.
3. I believe there is nothing in the Constitution of the United States that provides a right to stop the beating heart of an unborn child.
4. I believe the environment is precious and should be protected by all practical means but not at the expense of protecting the citizens of the US.
5. I believe the UN is corrupt, ineffective and dangerous to US sovereignty and we should get out of it. Obama would have us paying a global tax to it.
6. I believe in personal responsibility and the guarantee of equal opportunity – not equal results. I believe it is not the job of the government to provide housing, healthcare and college educations or to restore people’s housing when an act of God destroys it.
7. I believe federal judges are supposed to be interpreting the law, not legislating from the bench. This country has been wounded severely by liberal judges and Obama will only give us more.
8. I believe we the people should have the power, not the government.
9. I believe in the 2nd amendment and that the government has no business in disarming its law-abiding citizens.

Thanks Kathy for letting me have my say. In fact, I have another one to add....

I believe that we are living in the most dangerous times to America, it's citizens and the vision of our founding fathers. We need a leader that has been tested in battle, has wisdom (not just an ivy league education) and has shown courage under the worst conditions. When you face the most important and dangerous battle, would you put it in the hands of the new recruit who thinks it's a lost cause, or the General who has faced the enemy and believes we can win.

No problem Carol - I totally agree with everything you have said. I recently read John McCain's book called Faith of My Fathers and it was a real eye opener for me. In my mind, it is such a no-brainer who the best person is to lead this country, especially in a time of war. To think of such an inexperienced novice such as Obama being the Commander in Chief is a frightening thought. It's like putting a 2 year old in charge of a high school class of seniors - it's just mind boggling to think that such a novice would be leading our great nation.
