Should Christians Respect Obama?

By de Andréa

In another lifetime when I was in the military, I had a commanding officer that I had no respect for. Working rather closely with this man and not being a commissioned officer myself, I had to grit my teeth and salute this man quite often. So one day I had a talk with my Lt. and told him of my predicament. He said that I must respect the rank and the uniform not the man inside it, so, salute the uniform and the position he holds. That philosophy has stuck with me all of my life.

Should we respect the Office of President? Yes. But should we respect the Man in the Office? No, I am sorry to say, not unless he earns our respect.

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, even Christians and Pastors have called upon America to unite behind Obama and pray.

Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama on anything because I have no respect for this man.

Pray? Yes. Pray that he is defeated in the next election and even pray that he would be impeached.

I will respect the Office which he holds, I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and his ability to read a teleprompter, and I will pray that God might stop this man on the road from Damascus, BUT that is it, that’s all.

I will do what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President and that he never sets foot in Washington again, even as a janitor! Why am I doing this ?

It is because:

- I do not share Obama's vision or social value system for America ;

- I do not share his Abortion beliefs;

- I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth to create a dependent class that can be manipulated;

- I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);

- I do not share his view that America is Arrogant and selfish;

- I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation but instead a Muslim Nation;

- I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;

- I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than our American Citizens who need help;

- I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;

- I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up their land;

- I do not share his Muslim beliefs and the treasonous enabling of our enemy:
- I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America ;

- I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East ; and

- I certainly do not share his plan to sit down and compromise American interests with terrorist regimes such as Iran...

THE BOTTOM LINE: The America I know and love is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and to my GOD to do what is Right!

For more than eight (8) years now, the Godless Liberal Communists in our Society, led by numerous entertainers and secular environmentalists who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked our fundamental core values and our Judeo Christian history.

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs to do what is right for the betterment of our Country!

They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant !

They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or Jesus Christ from the foundation of our Society !

They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code !

They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech !

They have totally ignored our Constitution and Declaration.

Unite behind Obama? Never ! ! !

I am sure many of you who read this think that I have gone around the bend, but I refuse to retreat an inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil and would lead us into the depths of Hell!

America is a Constitutional Republic, and I honor the concept; however this means that I will fight with all of my power to be a voice of opposition to Obama and his anti-American Marxist-Muslim “goals.” I am used to swimming up-stream and even up the waterfall.

I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country, more compromise is just more defeat! I pray that the results of this coming election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed this Socialist-Marxist anti-GOD crowd to slowly change so much of what has made America strong and good !

GOD bless you and may GOD bless America! ! !
