Praying for our President

It isn't very hard to realize that I am a big conservative...heck... I even put that in my bio below my picture. =) I watched the inauguration today and all I could think of was that I need to pray for this man. I ask that God gives this man guidance! I pray that he actually does help this country. Why would I want him to fail? If he fails, that means bad news for our country! So I refuse to be one of those people who wishes that he fails. I am not just saying this either to make sure that I come across as balanced and more moderate in my beliefs so that I don't offend anyone. I didn't vote for the man and unless he changes some of his main positions that I don't agree with him, I will even say that I don't plan on voting for him in 2012 either. Too early to say that you think? Or possibly you might think that I am naive? Not at all as long as I stick to my core Christian conservative beliefs! Sorry Obama... just because you had Rick Warren give a prayer today doesn't make think that you are trying to reach across to my side.

So... I hope that he doesn't fail but at the same time, in my opinion, conservative ideology is what's best for this country and its future. In actuality, today was a very historic day with Obama being the first African-American, President of the United States. Remember that just 50 years ago, some towns wouldn't allow an African-American to eat in their restaurants! Hats off to you Mr. President!

One last thought before I head off to bed... One thing really kind of... ticked me off today as I watched the inauguration... I don't remember the guys name, but it was the prayer that was given by this African-American pastor. Watch for yourself! You don't have to watch the whole thing, just fast forward to one minute and watch for about 30 seconds.



He says, "We ask you to help us get to the day when black does not get asked to get back, when brown stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead man, and when white will embrace what is right."

I understand that this can be taken as a joke., but I just want to make sure that I am not alone in this... If I am not mistaken, I believe the day is already here when black does not get asked to get back. Was he asking God for us to work for the day when illegal immigration is made legal? Was he really suggesting that whites don't embrace what is right? Sorry pastor... Obama couldn't have gotten elected just on the black vote. Maybe he couldn't find another word to go with white... He could have used, "when white get better sight" or "when white aren't uptight. Anyone else have problem with this or am I just alone?

Hope you all had a great day! The week is almost halfway over!!

Supporting Israel

I am getting tired of hearing and seeing all of the negative press about Israel and their war with Hamas! People have said that Israelis are barbarians and many other things....why? Because they are defending themselves? One thing that the news does not regularly report is that Israel has had 7500 missiles attack them over the course of the last five years! They have put up with it! Just imagine if Mexico decided to launch missiles at Texas because they believe that Texas is still rightfully owned by the Mexicans (there are Mexican extremists who actually believe this). The U.S. wouldn't just allow this to happen, they would immediately respond!

Israel is saying enough is enough! The reason why we haven't heard of a lot of casualities in Israel these last five years is because it is mandatory for all homes to be built with bomb shelters! Israel has a right to defend itself! Some people say that there needs to be peace made through diplomacy... How do you do that when this conflict has been going on since the Old Testament? These people hate each other more than you and I could possibly ever know!

Watch this video below... This video was taken on December 30th in Florida at a anti-Israel rally!




This young woman says, "Murderer, murderer.... Go back to the oven... You need a big oven...that's what you need."

This is in the United States! I wonder if this same woman praises Allah each time a son or a daughter has explosives strapped to their bodies and blow themselves up in a school or restaurant or mall, just like so many others have done in Israel? I am afraid that there will never be "true" peace in the Middle East until Christ returns.

I have big doubts that you will ever stop this level of hate by sitting across from one another over a cup of tea.....
