The Smarm Stops Here

On January 17^th, President Barack Hussein Obama gave a speech in Baltimore to a group of cold, albeit Obama crazed people. He said something that caught my attention as I was casually listening, and I give you the exact quote.

“We began this train trip in Philadelphia earlier today. And it is fitting that we did so – because it was there that our American journey began. It was there that a group of farmers and lawyers, merchants and soldiers, gathered to declare their independence and lay claim to a destiny that they were being denied. It was a risky thing, meeting as they did in that summer of 1776. There was no guarantee that their fragile experiment would find success.”

Later in his speech he referred to the “American Revolution” that was fought and remains today an ongoing struggle in the minds and hearts of the American people.

I would venture to say first that the only revolution that is being fought today or has ever been fought in this country is the revolting of evil against righteousness. The war we fought to gain our freedom was a war for independence. We were not revolting against anything; we were simply claiming what God had already promised to us as a people. The men and women who came to America knew that God was on their side and that He had a plan for them.

The forming of our country, its Constitution and its ideals was not an accident and certainly not an experiment; it was the manifestation of what God had in store for us. To quote the great Ronald Reagan:

“You may think this a little mystical, and I’ve said it many times before, but I believe there was a Divine Plan to place this great continent here between the two oceans to be found by peoples from every corner of the earth. I believe we were preordained to carry the torch of freedom for the world.”

I concur.

Over the next four years I want our country to succeed. If our President embraces the principles of personal responsibility, limited government and an intent followed by action to win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan then yes, I want our President to succeed also. So far all we have seen from President Barack Obama is question dodging, welfare foisting, whining and a voting record on abortion that gives him an A+++ with Planned Parenthood.
