I'm not usually one to talk about or even think about politics and what the government is doing. I guess that makes me neive, but I'm alright with that. I would consider myself as leaning towards the republican side of things and never wanted to see Obama in the White House. However, I gave him the benefit of the doubt when he was elected because I believe that we should respect and follow our leaders until they absoltely give us a reason not to...
And that is happening already. It's only been a month or so since the innaguration and he's already broken promise after promise. He promised that everything that governement was going to spend our money on was going to be made known to the public...anyone who was watching the news at all yesterday saw that they approved the Bailout without even reading the dang thing! This just really ticks me off, and I don't get mad easily at all.
Obama is a deceiver, it's plain and simple. I was reading this weekend and saw that he offered one of the republican senators a place in his cabinet as what was seemingly a good gesture to reach out to the other side and make it more bi-partisan. That's the part that the media shows us. But what no one realized was that by putting that senator in that position, the democratic governor of that state was then able to appoint the next senator to replace him, and that was going to a democrat, which would even further swing the senate to the left. It's just deception over and over again.
The other thing that really set me off was when he said he wants to change the way that the census is done. Throughout our countries history, the census has traditionally been done by the Chamber of Commerce, which is indepent and doesn't have any party affiliation. He is trying to make it to where the Government or the White House controls the census. Which at first doesn't seem like that big of deal. Well, it is a big deal! By controlling the census, he has control over how the electoral votes are distributed and by how the districs of the states are alligned. This basically means he can allign things to favor voting for the democratic party. Deception.
My feeling is that our country is heading towards depression, separation, racism, and then ultimately another revolution. When I get frustrated and think about this, I can only rejoice in the fact that my hope is not in this world. My hope is in the future that is promised by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He knows what's going on and knows how it's going to end. I'm thankful that I can trust in Him and that He loves me.
I realize that this post went from frustration and anger to my hope, but those were my thoughts, haha. Back to school tomorrow...
