Sometimes I think our personal views and ideas get in the way of our professional obligations and duties.
While I believe that everyone is entitled to practice the faith of their choice as long as it harms no one else… I don’t think that any religion should be supported by the government.
I have a huge concern over any politician… and I hate to say that I now have to include Barack Obama in that disappointing group… wanting to use government money to support religious charities and organizations. We are asking for more internal problems then our country already has… and I have to ask, do we really need anymore problems?
If we are looking for ways to improve our country and where to we should allocate government funds… let’s focus on making our country self sufficient and make sure that our people have every opportunity to take the first few steps to achieving the American dream.
Let’s make sure that our children have excellent schools that are equipped with quality teachers and programs of excellence and this includes sports, music and art.
Lets start drilling here in America and produce more of our own oil so that families don’t have to chose between fueling their car, heating their home or feeding their children.
Our government should be supporting programs that will help anyone that walks through the doors… it shouldn’t be tied to who or what you worship and how you do it.
I understand that our money is labeled “In God We Trust,” that is fine… I understand that when pledge allegiance to the United States that we say “one nation under God…” I don’t have a problem with that. But our government dollars can be better spent in so many other ways.
If you are going to fund religious based organizations then I suggest you set up a fund, 5% of the money the government has and split it evenly amongst every religious organization and charity there is in the US. Not just the organizations that are tied to your religious beliefs.
Don’t let your obligation to the country be confused with what you feel your obligations to your religion and faith are. Remember that there is suppose to be a separation of church and state… that it part of what is suppose to make America such a wonderful place to live.
I have another plea to Barack Obama… I understand the need to bridge the gap between democrats and republicans and the need to bring as many voters your way as possible… but don’t become like every other politician that gets up there and says or promises what ever it will take to gain more voters. The people that have supported you so far supported you because of what you stood for… something new… something positive… someone that was going to make change a reality. Stick to who you are… what it is you really stand for… what it is you have said.

Palin and McCain were great in their speeches.
Finally America is seeing Obama for the fraud he is.
Oh hektor my friend... you are such a disillusioned fool.
I encourage you to read the new post, which is actually a speech that was given by an educated man... maybe it will enlighten your thick head. :)
seems all the so called educated men are the reason this country is failing
I do not feel bad for being white, actually Im proud of my heritage! My family has never owned slaves even though I cant think of any race of people that hasnt been a slave at some point in history.
My white entitlement in this country I feel I am the slave, althought I have a good job and I went to a good school, it was me that had the ambition to do it I wasnt born with Rockefeller as my last name. I pay taxes so others can have a roof over their heads even though they are 3rd and 4th generation of people to live off of the backs of other people. Illegals come here and demand health insurance and a drivers liscense although my health insurance cost me 800 dollars a month.
So I dont really understand how this nut bar gets off speaking out about whites, we are the majority of the middle class we pay more then any other working person in this country as a whole, we are the whole backbone of this country and yet this person thinks we are bad...get real everyone has problems just blacks on Morey or springer want it to be in everyones face, they are the ones that idolize the prison mentallity where they actually look up to thugs, and the majority of minorities still want something for nothing why else would they be saying on TV we cant live on our welfare check as they stand there puffing on a virginia slim with a bee hive hair cut from a salon and driving an avalanche, surely an educated person see's this or are they just being political and saying what they think should be said for a gain of some type?
While I agree with most of what you are saying, you can not possibly overlook the amount of middle and lower class white people that stand there and complain about the same things as you are saying black people are complaining about.
Our wellfare system has made it very easy for people, of all colors, to get hooked on the system and want more from the government and refuse to do anything to better thier lives. Do not make the mistake that so many finger pointers have made and think this lack of desire to better themselves and wanting to suck money from the government is race based, it is our society as a whole.
I do not believe that any person should feel bad for the color of thier skin. It is having pride in who you are that gives the individual drive to make thier life better.
I was not born rich either, I was born to two teens who the standing joke was who would grow up first, me or them. I spent my life taking care of my parents and my siblings... it was not until the age of 33 I was able to finally tell my family that they are responsible for themselves and focus on myself, my own two children and my wonderful husband. We have had our ups and downs, hit the bumps in the road and financially sunk lower then anyone could possibly go, we lost everything. We did not go the government for help, my husband and I rebuilt ourselves up, supported our children so that they never knew how bad it was, and we never blamed anyone outside of ourselves. Hopefully we have instilled in our children that same drive and determination.
By the way, I moved my blog to http://wisdomofjen.wordpress.com, seeing as how blogger here decided to take over my blog and make it an administrative blog without asking me or telling me why. As that they do not have anyway to contact them directly, or respond to any questions I have asked, I moved. Please feel free to visit me there and make comments.
I think that you have made some of your best points in this comment Hektor, try to stay in touch.
