Narcissism Spells Obama

I want to be a famous Broadway star.

Does it matter that I can’t sing very well?

‘ shouldn’t, should it?

Not anymore, anyway…

after all, America knowingly elected an 'intern' to run our nation and, as he’s destroying our nation bit by bit…

a lot of people still think ‘he’s just wonderful.’

So, with that in mind, I [really] think it’ll be a cinch to manipulate people into thinking I’m a lot more talented than I am because…

Reality is really only about perception, isn’t it?

Mmm… looking at our country, that’s pretty darn apparent…

except there’s just a teeny, tiny difference between my bogus fame and Obama’s presidency…

my experience, or lack of, wouldn’t really hurt millions of people, however…

Obama’s has and will.

Penning this post, I wonder if anyone really understands what the “American Dream” really is, or…

worse yet, if it has died.

Second by second, our government is growing while America has been turned upside down. Those in DC haven’t a clue what patriotism is nor do I believe they care.

But…

they [our government] can’t destroy the spirit of those of us who truly love this nation because it us who are the true Americans.

Not too long ago, I happened upon an article written by Chuck Baldwin entitled, “Can You Imagine This Country.” In it he writes:

We hear much today about the American dream. By "the American Dream," most people mean buying a big house, driving an expensive automobile, and making a lot of money. However, this was not the dream envisioned by the Founding Fathers. Remember that, for the most part, America's founders gave up their material wealth and substance for something they considered of far greater worth. Unfortunately, this hedonistic generation knows little of the kind of sacrificial spirit personified in the lives of America's patriarchs.


In the minds of the founders, liberty--with all of its intrinsic risks--was more desirable than material prosperity, if that prosperity was accompanied with despotism or collectivism. So strong was their desire that they were willing to give up the latter in order to procure the former for themselves and their posterity.



How dare Americans today refer to material gain as "the American dream." It is not! It is the freedom to honestly pursue one's goals that should be celebrated. Material gain is only a fruit of freedom, not its root.

Perhaps Obama wants to be recorded in history as not only the first black American President but also the greatest.

For me, unfortunately, only one word is synonymous with this man: narcissism.

Shame On You, Mr. President

It doesn't end with this administration, does it? With all the lies and bad decisions within this "new" administration, my head is spinning and wondering: what next?

Here's a "what next" for all of our veterans: Obama is considering making veterans use private insurance to pay for treatment of combat and service-related injuries. Is this man [our president] serious? The following is posted on the DrudgeReport:

WASHINGTON—The Obama administration is considering making veterans use private insurance to pay for treatment of combat and service-related injuries. The plan would be an about-face on what veterans believe is a long-standing pledge to pay for health care costs that result from their military service.

But in a White House meeting Monday, veterans groups apparently failed to persuade President Obama to take the plan off the table.

“Veterans of all generations agree that this proposal is bad for the country and bad for veterans,” said Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. “If the president and the OMB [Office of Management and Budget] want to cut costs, they can start at AIG, not the VA."

Shame on you, Mr. President! How dare you insult those who have dedicated their lives to protect us... to protect you and your family? I think everyone in Washington should retire and/or quit with dignity. Go home, guys and let us lead our USA... you're not what our America needs!

2009: A Year of Renewal and Change

For many of us, the beginning of a New Year means a list of resolutions that focus on change and renewal. This year especially, most are worried and tired with the uncertainty of what tomorrow brings. As a mother of a young child, I, too, worry about the future and what our children shall be inheriting.

With an abundance of foreclosures, lay-offs and business shut downs many of us are wagging our tails simply to live paycheck to paycheck. As yet another family is given a pink slip, we are lost at what the next step for survival is to be. But today, the first day of the New Year, I ask all Christians to stop and meditate on our Lord Jesus who is our only true answer for peace and freedom.

Most of us are running, working and gathering without blessing. America, on the whole, has compromised her values and is rapidly spiraling downward with most clinging on empty promises for hope and change.

Today I beseech all of us who profess to be followers of our Lord to recommit to the living Jesus and comprehend that, without Him, we have no future. In order to save ourselves as well as our America, we must sincerely surrender our lives into the hands of Jesus in order for Him to lead us and protect us from every adversity and evil.

As true followers of the King, we must not limit ourselves nor limit God! He sees His children as precious and unique. He rejoices over us and wants the best for us in all things. He is determined to stand up for each and every one of us and intervene in our lives but we cannot compromise our beliefs for the short-term solutions offered by the world.

Perhaps today, as a new year begins, we can take some time to recall all the ways God has blessed us in the past and then tell Him that you want to receive His gifts this year as well.

No matter what we face this year, we must trust that only God can heal our broken America and give us His peace. We must believe that His face is always shining on all us. As challenges arise in our lives, when we humbly turn to Him, we will know His strength through His presence. God has an amazing year in store for us if we sincerely repent as a Nation and allow Him back into our lives! Let nothing block his flow of blessings to our land and in our lives.
