Matthew 6:24

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

I realize that these are hard times. I find it startling that only 7 years after 9/11, that we as Americans, are even contemplating electing someone with the name of Barack Hussein Obama. There are so many things that can be said either way. I can understand those against the war in Iraq, more than I can those citing money issues as the reason to vote for Obama. I am not saying that John McCain would be my first pick for president. I am saying that in a world that seems intent on blaming America for most of the global problems, we need a leader that will stand by us, in front of us.

I am so not sure Obama will do that. The press make it seem that his election would be a sign of penitence to the Muslim world, our way of saying sorry. I do not think the election of Obama would be perceived that way by the extremists. They would see it as a sign of cowardice, trying to back down from a fight. We didn't start the fight. We may have misstepped along the way, but make no mistake. This was not a fight that America started. I would feel more secure with a man like John McCain representing us.

This month's Reader Digest has an article about how the whole world would prefer Obama as our president. WHAT??? I want to scream. How dare they attempt to parlay their benighted opinions would affect our choices! Almost every country in the article has come to the United States with their hand out at one time or another. Several of them, several times. I am a little infuriated that Reader's Digest would publish this CRAP in the month before the election.

Obama is the snake oil salesman of this election, prescribing cures for everything. All the while, those he prescribes to are nothing more than socially inept hypochondriacs. No. I would not have chosen John McCain for the post of president, but between John McCain and Barack Obama, there isn't a choice. It is simply John McCain. The press may want to gloss over Obama's shortcomings and Muslim heritage with glittery word confetti, but I shall not. Barack Hussein Obama is not fit to stand next to John McCain, let alone run against Mr. McCain in a presidential election.
