I Fear For America (Part I)

This past week we saw an historic election where the first African American, Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), was elected to the Office of the President of the United States of America. He brings the slogan, "Change for America" and "Change the World" and "Change We Can Believe In." Well, we are going to be getting change, but is it the change we want?

We have elected a man that didn't wear a United States Flag lapel on his suit until after asked about it by a reporter. He stopped wearing the lapel because he protested the Iraqi War. Yeah, that is patriotism and a statement. Doesn't that sound familiar? Yeah, Senator John Kerry (D-MA), did that during the Vietnam War where he threw his medals over the fence at the White House as a protest to the war. They have something in common! Congratulations!!! We got another person that throws patriotism out the window, or over the fence, or however we want to call it. It is also said of Obama that he doesn't want to put his hand on the Bible to be sworn in as President as the rest of the 43 before him have along with not putting his hand over his heart for the Pledge of Allegiance. Yeah, we have a "real, proud" American coming into office, don't we?

We also voted for a man where his wife, Michelle Obama, said she is finally proud of her country and proud to be an American. Yeah, go First Lady Elect!

We have voted for a man that wants to not allow oil and gas drilling here in America, wanting to stop 360,000 acres of land in Utah for those resources. Sounds like we are still going to be dependent of foreign oil. Didn't we want to move away from foreign oil? Wasn't that part of the "change" we were promised? Well, how are we going to stop being dependent on foreign oil if we can't get our own oil and gas going up here in America? Hmmm...

Stay tuned for more... This is just going to keep getting better and better...
