Letters from the future (pt-1)
Hey Matt, have you read this new letter from Focus on the Family? It’s a fictionalized letter from a Christian in the year 2012. Normally when one thinks of 2012 they remember all the talk of the end of the world, with the way this letter is written one might think that the world did indeed end, or at least for one portion of the population of the US.
You see, right now there’s a race going on, a race in which many evangelicals are becoming disheartened with the political party that has held their sway for decades. This sway is certainly scaring those in charge of both the party, and those with whom the party has place “in charge” of the evangelicals. With little over a week left until the election, both the party and the evangelical leaders are fearful losing this election.
These evangelical “leaders” decided that the best way to win an election was to continue the fear mongering that the party they are aligned with has begun. This letter is a “fictionalized” account of what may come should the Muslim Obama win the election.
What do you think, Matt?
batton down the hatches!
Starting today, Monday the 19th, there will be a change of pace in US politics. Probably not a big one, but certainly one that we are not use to here.
The United Nations will be sending an independent inspector to decide if there is racism within the US system. Why now? Because Obama is mathematically the Presumptive Democratic Nominee, and whenever a person of color attains a national leadership office, the UN inspects that nation.
So what will the inspector find? Well, thank God he won’t be traveling to West Virginia, or else we’d certainly fail the test.
But outside of that hickish lovely state, what will the inspector find? Well… he’ll probably find nothing. But lets face it there is racism, and it’s on both sides. For every white supremacist voter who refuses to give Obama the time of day, there is likely a black voter who is voting for Obama solely because he is black. I’ll probably get some flack for that statement, but come on, it’s true.
So what do we do? Well… you can’t really change a bigots mind unless their mind is open to it, and fighting them does nothing but give them more press coverage, so, you should vote for your candidate and be willing to discuss your voting decision with the open minded. So, get out there a vote (Obama) in November.
