I received this from a friend this morning.........We don't always agree, but we do on this one.
Well, it has happened. Barack Obama will be “our” next president. Let me rephrase that. He’ll be someone’s next president. He’s not mine.
I can’t follow a “leader” who doesn’t have any real leadership experience. I can’t follow someone who doesn’t clearly see the path for himself, let alone a whole nation. I can’t follow someone who will abandon his “church” because it fits some political agenda. I can’t follow a leader who desecrates the memory of countless individuals who have given their blood, sweat, tears and their very lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy in this country. The man won’t honor the flag. The man won’t honor our national anthem. What will he honor? Who will he honor, as “our” president?
I’m glad that so many people saw fit to actually get out and cast their vote. I’m saddened to see that many of these votes were cast because of the color of a man’s skin. There were those who, mockingly, but accurately, pointed out that many people had no idea about “their” candidate’s position on the very real issues in “our” country today, or for that matter, who his running mate was! All these voters saw was the color of Mr. Obama’s skin. And, that alone, was good enough for them. After all, if a black man is president he most certainly will take care of “us” before he takes care of “them”. My questions is, define “us” and “them”.
I’m very worried this morning. I’m worried about how long it will be before this country that I love will be thrown into an all out civil war. I’m worried about the country my children and grandchildren will have to grow and live in. I’m afraid that we are seeing the beginning of the end of the once great nation of the United States of America.
I do live in a state that had the foresight to put a plan into place for just such an eventuality. Texas can legally and without too much trouble secede from the union. We saw fit to live under our own flag before. I believe that now is the time to do it again. I’ve seen Gov. Perry stand up and pay the proper respect to the flag and the national anthem. All good Texans will have to agree here.
I’m not saying that we should take up arms and take hostile action against the U.S.A. I’m saying that Texas should secede, take our oil reserves, refineries, crops, taxes and political support, and simply … leave. Let the “bleeding heart liberals” have the bed that they’ve made for themselves. For me and my family, we’ll take our horses, guns and freedoms and ride quietly into the Texas sunset.
