Who Received Your Vote and Why?

I had an interesting conversation last night with a family member regarding the presidential election. I will spare everyone the details and say that her vote was cast against John McCain and for Barack Obama. There was nothing informed about the vote. It was simply based along party lines with no regard for any position held by either candidate. In short, Obama was not Bush (Ooops…I meant McCain) and that is critical because evidently many Americans thought this was a race between Obama and Bush. Why is this so disturbing? It is disturbing because when broken down by issue this family member is pretty darn conservative. Unfortunately, she holds strong moral and personal opinions regarding responsibility, faith, and individual rights and she believes the Democratic Party supports her. She has no idea that you could count the number of democrats that can be called conservative on less than five fingers. She cast a completely uninformed vote based out of ignorance simply because she held an outdated definition and view of the democrats being for the little guy and she has no idea what type of person she helped to elect as the next president with a fully loaded legislature to support his every move.

The man she helped put in office supports the following:

Infanticide in the context of Mr. Obama:

The murder of children born from failed abortions because it negates the original decision of the mother to abort the child. It is shocking to think there are people who support a man for the highest office in the land who supports infanticide and yet there are. He opposed a bill to offer equal protection for newborns twice, but in America we are ok with that position? Evidently we are because Obama is the President Elect. I am fine with debating pro-life versus pro-choice, but pro-life versus pro-murder seems to be a position that is indefensible.

Redistribution of Wealth:

Let’s see if we can put Mr. Obama’s statements on this subject in terms that everyone can understand. Socialism, Communism, Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, KGB (National Police Force the same is offered on the change.gov transition website for Mr. Obama) Adolph Hitler, Gestapo (National Police/Security Force the same is on the change.gov transition website for Mr. Obama), Benito Mussolini, Castro, Jim Jones (Jonestown)… Do I need to go on to make my point? Mr. Obama will also tax whomever at whatever rate to insure that his social agenda is realized. I will say it now for all those looking for that big tax cut for 95% of working Americans, don’t hold your breath because it is not coming!

Federally Mandated Service for Children:

This would be mine and yours, middle school aged children being required by federal law to serve with groups like ACORN. Yeah, great idea, but the votes were cast and this is our guy, farther left than any to come before him. The uninformed voted against Bush (Even though McCain was the senator running) for the purpose of change and change is exactly what we are going to see specific to higher taxes, bigger government, less personal freedoms.

Education:

Mr. Obama does not support school choice for American families, but he will send his children to private school. Way to lead by example Mr. President-Elect! What is this, the president-elect won’t send his children to public school, while the constituency he claims to represent has no other choice unless they make enough money to afford the type of school Mr. Obama would choose for his children?

Same-Sex Marriage:

Mr. Obama opposes a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage. Barack Obama voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2006 which would have defined marriage as between a man and a woman and prevented judicial extension of marriage-like rights to same-sex or other unmarried couples.


These are only a few areas of concern that my uniformed family members are willing to ignore and then by default they vote to agree to take a chance on this so called change that is offered by quickly offering this comment, “He (Obama) isn’t even in office yet. How will we know what he will do? At least he isn’t Bush!” You know what he will do in his new job by looking at his record (short as it is) from previous jobs held. He has never once voted to stop a tax increase. He has never voted once to lower taxes. Yet that is the platform he ran on and uninformed voters elected him. He supported infanticide twice (the murder of newborns), yet uninformed voters elected him. He wants to federally mandate community service for our children under the supervision of activist groups like ACORN and uninformed voters elected him. He supports the redistribution of wealth, which is a failed socialist principle by giving welfare to 46% of Americans that have no tax liability directly from the effort of those Americans carrying the tax burden for this country and yet uninformed voters elected him! The American electorate supports by majority a constitutional amendment defining marriage between a man and a woman, but Mr. Obama does not, yet the uninformed elected him. He supports the American electorate sending its children to a failing public school system, while he lavishes private schooling on his children, but the uninformed still elected him. He has a host of questionable associations with everything from domestic terrorists, to a black-theology racist minister, a radical Muslim Theologian, to Chicago criminals and yet the uninformed elected him!

It is clear that the American electorate is either stupid or has decided on a path of self-destruction. For those who made a uniformed vote, shame on all of you. For those who new what America was going to get, I can only hope you are all first to suffer under the foot of the federal government and that you all reap what you so richly deserve, servitude!
