Angry Republicans

John McCain asked us at the GOP convention to stand up and fight with him. We are fighting, but why isn’t Sen. McCain?
 

 
I was encouraged when I saw the news of people at his events, filled with anger and calling for Sen. McCain to fight. But then today we saw him almost endorse B. Hussein Obama.
 
Does Sen. McCain not understand our anger? We are not mad at Sen. McCain. Even those of us who don't agree with some of his political positions share an enormous respect him for the sacrifices he has made his entire life for our country. If any man could earn the Presidency of the United States, John McCain surely has earned it through his personal sacrifices and the torture he endured during his years of captivity. But, as you all well know, we don’t select our President that way. We give the Presidency to the person who motivates us to cast our votes by proving to us that he (or she) shares our values and will protect our country from people who want to do harm to it.
 
Sen. McCain is in an ideal position to motivate this country to elect him. Our country has spared itself from a subsequent terrorist attack on our soil because of strong Republican leadership in the White House. The current economic crisis in our country is the direct result of the carelessness and ineptitude of Democrat lawmakers who forced banks to provide mortgages to people who could not afford homes. And, on top of everything else, the opposing party has chosen as its presidential nominee a man so unqualified and incompetent that the only thing he knows how to do well is make friends with terrorists, thieves and hate mongering racist.
 
Sen. McCain is aware of these facts, but he has yet to point them out to a national audience. We need to hear him say that he is not going to let us take the blame for everything that is wrong with the world anymore. We want to hear him say the war in Iraq was the right thing to do. We need to hear him say that Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and Jimmy Carter are the cause of this economic crisis.
 
 Sen. McCain defended us in Vietnam, giving everything short of his life, I honor the fact that he survived just to irritate his captors, but we want that warrior back. For eight years the Bush administration has sat quietly in the White House and allowed the Left to demonize him, his administration, and those of us who supported and voted for him and we are tired of it.
 
President Bush has kept us safe for 8 years. Sen. McCain should honor that and defend it and promise to keep us just as safe during his term. Obama talks about stopping genocide, why does Sen. McCain not challenge Obama on why he voted to ensure genocide in Iraq? And if you believe Obama about him being the lone voice against the war in Iraq to begin with, then why was he voicing opposition to end the genocide that Saddam and his two sons were causing in Iraq? Why did Obama support Odinga, and has never denounced him, who caused genocide in Kenya?

 
We are angry.
  • We are angry that ACORN is still operating. If Sen. McCain wants to suspend his campaign and go back to Washington to defend this country, do it to take the floor of the Senate and put a stop to ACORN!
  • We are angry that our President didn’t defend our party or himself.
  • We are angry that Congress did not protect us from our Congress as they allowed abuse and corruption for political gain at our expense, we are really angry that our President and our Party leaders have allowed the Democrats and the MSM to place the blame on us for it
  • We are angry that the radical Left wants to throw away 300 years of National Pride and Tradition and our party leaders are quietly allowing it to happen as to not offend the Press and the small minority of those who hate our country.
  • We are angry that Obama and his campaign have called a national hero dishonorable and McCain and his campaign have allowed him to get away with it.

We are fighting for Sen. McCain, when is he going to join us?

Respectfully,

An Angry Republican (and donor to McCain/Palin2008)
 
8Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? 9So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. 1 Cor 14:8-9

Birds of a Feather


I received a call from one of the leading members of my congregation. His teenage son had gone on an outing with friends to the beach. One of the young men in the car asked him to stop at the local AM/PM Mini-mart in order to buy a bag of ice. On the way out the door, the young man picked up a carton of beer and, upon entering the car said to my friend’s son, “Let’s get out of here. Step on it!” Not knowing what was happening, he complied. That evening my friend’s son had been arrested for theft. He told his dad and the arresting officer that he didn’t steal anything. He didn’t know the other boy was going to steal anything. He did not even leave the car. The police officer said that it didn’t matter; he was there with his friend when the theft happened, and therefore he was an accessory.

Friends can get us into trouble. When one has bad friends the chance for trouble increases.

Which bring us to William Ayers. This man is an unrepentant terrorist. He plotted and carried out bombings on government institutions. I know that a person can repent and receive a fresh start; but William Ayers did not repent nor did he want a fresh start. His remarks following the Al Qaeda attack on the WTC and Pentagon on 9-11 were, “I wish we had done more.” William Ayers has an admitted agenda against capitalism and the United States. As a leader of the SDS, he is opposed to the Constitution and he has avowed hatred for the heritage of our country and its institutions. William Ayers is Barak Obama’s mentor. Jim Johnson, the former head of Fannie May, repaid his patronage by donating the funds from the home mortgage giant to the Barak Obama campaign (as well as the coffers of several key Democrat senators and congressmen/women.) He received his golden parachute of $21 million before the institution that was bailed out. Shortly thereafter, he went on to his next appointment as key advisers for Barak Obama and his campaign for presidency.

Tony Rezco, a convicted money launderer and thief, was Mr. Obama financial advisor during his rise up the Chicago and Illinois party hierarchy. His financial shadow has been lurking in the background while Mr. Obama has built his financial resources in preparation for the political run to public office. If elected, will this country reek from the stench of a pardon coming from the White House to reward Mr. Rezco for his silence?

Rev Jeremiah Wright has spewed forth an agenda of hate and racism from the pulpit of Mr. Obama’s church for over 20 years corrupting the Biblical message of grace, forgiveness and redemption as the believer becomes a light through which God’s goodness shines; Rev. Wright has become wealthy while feeding on the carcasses of his flock. Be aware America that when a flock of vultures gather over head, there will always be one vulture in disguise to prepare for the reaping of the harvest.

Jesus was a community organizer?

What is a community organizer? Barack Obama started out his career as a community organizer until he found out he could parlay the suffering and hardship of others into a lucrative profession.

From there he made contacts to support his political ambitions into a mediocre career in the Illinois state legislature. His political potential and political connections allowed Mr. Obama to “buy” a Chicago mansion. With no major achievements he became the pawn of the Chicago political machine and was elected into the U.S. Senate where again his mediocrity was parleyed into 1 keynote speech at the ’04 democrat convention and less than 2 years as a senator.

Each step of this community organizer has resulted in the benefit of himself.

Jesus never sought the betterment of others in order to benefit his own career or his own financial portfolio. Jesus never used his public service connections to buy a newer, bigger, better house. Jesus even commented, “the foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nest, but the son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Matthew 8:20 The only benefit Jesus ever had with his wealthy friends was to be buried in a rich man’s tomb.

Even though she never degraded community organizers, Sarah Palin likened being mayor of a small town as a community organizer with responsibility. She worked for the town and her co-citizens which she served; she applied for state office to battle corruption in the governor’s office. She never used her office to buy herself a mansion. She did not become wealthy as governor or organize a political machine to advocate her selection as vice presidential candidate. Governor Palin did not compare herself to Jesus. This humble servant instead compared herself to a pit bull with lipstick.

What did Pontius Pilate do?

· He enriched his political allies.

· He lived lavishly off the benefits of his political appointments.

· He served in mediocrity during his career.

· He raised taxes on those he served to enlarge and enrich the government that suppressed the common man

· He voted “present” at the trial of Jesus even though he found the charges against him as not valid.

· His political service included the approval of the murder of thousands of innocents (definitely not prolife!)

1Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him in the face.

4Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him." 5When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!" 6As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, "Crucify! Crucify!" But Pilate answered, "You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him." 7The Jews insisted, "We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God."

8When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9and he went back inside the palace. "Where do you come from?" he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10"Do you refuse to speak to me?" Pilate said. "Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?"

11Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."

12From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, "If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar." 13When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha). 14It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews.

15But they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" "Shall I crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king but Caesar," the chief priests answered. 16Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.-Matthew 19:1-16

Which candidate should truly be compared to Pilate.
