If you listen to the crap spewing out of Barack Obama's mouth you hear him preaching about the importance of hope as if somehow he is the answer to all of our hopes. First of all, the day my hope is found in any politician is the day I can be labeled as hopeless. But that is a different discussion and not the focus of today's lesson. I want to know; what is this hope about which Obama speaks?
Is it, Mr. Obama the hope of millions of aborted dead babies, the hope of defeat in Iraq to use for political amunition, the hope of another terrorist attack in order to further your political career, or the hope of a gun free America so that only the bad guys have them? Is it the hope of a health care system which promises to rid us of the best doctors in the world for the sake of socialism, the hope of turning our national security over to the global community so they will like us, or the hope of taxing my employer into the stone ages causing me to lose my job? Is it the hope of keeping the poor at the bottom of income classes in order to keep them reliant on you, the hope of denying true choice when it comes to deciding where our children attend school, or the hope of an infinite amount of illegal aliens streaming across our borders, watering down the importance of law and order?
From all I gather, this is your promise of hope. So, while everyone tells me that I should be inspired by your "hope" rhetoric, pardon me for not feeling tingles running up and down my leg (ala Chris Matthews). Pardon me for not wanting my country's values shredded to pieces. And although many may see you as a messiah, pardon me, Mr. Obama, for not worshipping at your feet or for that matter and most importantly, not voting for you.
