Thoughts

I have been writing this post in my head for over a week, turning it over and over in my mind and just need to get it all out now.

I follow several liberal blogs. I think it’s important to know what people are thinking who have different viewpoints. I don’t think a good counter argument can be made against anything that does not thoughtfully contemplate the other viewpoint.

In following these mostly local blogs and sites I am horrified at what has become acceptable speech and points of view. When in American History has is been acceptable to openly embrace socialism, communism and a contempt for the nuclear family.

General observations about Liberal Cincinnati
1. Liberals only want people who live in city limits to call themselves Cincinnatians.
2. If you live outside of city limits you must be racist.
3. Anyone who is in college has a brilliant mind.
4. Anyone making over $40,000 a year is selfish and corrupt.
5. No one is as educated on a subject as the writer of the article.
6. Wikipedia is an acceptable reference source.
7. When in a debate name calling, (like teabaggers”) mocking, threats and getting off topic are considered a win.
8. Threats of violence are a useful tactic.
9. A big “heart” is more impressive than hard work.
10. A person is of no value if they came from a two parent family.

When engaging in debate I have learned:
1. Realize that whatever you say - you will be called a liar or stupit or both.
2. You will be “cyber stalked”.
3. The more common sense and fact that is used the more disgusting the language will become.
4. The phrase where were you the last 8 years will come up at least once in every debate.

To have “credibility” from a Liberal viewpoint you must be or do one or more of the following:
1. Come from a broken home.
2. Be on government assistance.
3. Live in section 8 housing.
4. Live in Cincinnati limits.
5. Be gay.
6. Be of some minority.
7. Despise humanity.
8. Smoke pot.

Apparently I have no credibility.

To be quite frank, it is infuriating to even read some of the posts. The absolute hatred and bile spilled towards anything conservative is appalling.

I am sick of being accused of racism and elitism. I do not support the president that does not make me a racist. I work hard for my money and don’t want it to go to things that I do not support, that does not make me an elitist.

Control your government, or it will control you!

Here is a fantastic article written by Henry Lamb. He is an inspiring writer.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMABy Lou Pritchett

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
