Getting Behind
Obama
I have to chuckle a little typing the title to this
article. The name “Obama” is still not recognized by any computer
software spell-check program that I know of. I still have to right
click on
the
word and allow the spelling of it. Funny, my last name is recognized
and McCain’s is too, but not Obama’s. Some might say that this is
neither-here-nor-there. But are they sure?
In Obama’s acceptance speech, he spoke of having to still
win over those who did not vote for him. And according
to McCain, I am now to believe that Obama is a “good
man”. And people all around are expecting me to “get behind
Obama.”
While listening to Republicans (I am an Independent) turn
on their party and curse the ground the party walks on, blaming the
party for this, that and the other thing, I just marvel at the
stupidity of the Democrats. I mean it is not every day that we get
to see “Democracy” in action! But, while my keen eye is in clear
focus of both parties’ unique consistencies, I cannot help but think
about just what it would take to “get behind
Obama.”
Just what would it
take?
Lying would no longer be immoral, but rather just the
subject of an old silly commandment in a radical book. When
questioned about past events in my life, I would now be able to
exercise my right to divert and deflect. Embracing a choice to end a
life inside my womb would cause me to cheer; and walking side by
side with men dressed as women would give me a sense of inclusion
and oneness with the planet, right after I call for the firing of
all coal workers, the silencing of born again Christians, and the
imprisonment of all those who speak against
Allah!
I would embrace ignorance and further the uneducated in
their climb up the economic latter of success, blaming the rich for
the fall of capitalism. Socialism would be my new buzz word, while I
chant, “Yes we can! Yes we can!” As my friend Miss Angie said she is
going to do, I would buy a new purse to fit in it, my share of
Oprah’s money.
Learning to hate “Whitey” may take a little while, but I
am sure such would come in time. I would hang with domestic
terrorists, angry blacks and groups of poverty stricken people that
would make me feel good about my life and
myself.
I would embrace the philosophy that world peace can and
must be achieved, and I would agree that all who would not play nice
with everyone doing anything are the real enemies.
When my daughters have opportunity to use the fact that
they are not white, heterosexual males in order to further their
careers, I would tell them to jump on that!
Qualifications for the presidency would be superficial,
as would be the need to be qualified. The Constitution would be
nothing more to me than an artifact to be viewed in a Washington
Museum. All evidence of America being a Christian nation would need
to be destroyed, in my opinion. I would call for the freedom to
desecrate the United States flag, for “gays” to marry and
for the freedom to kill myself when I am old. I would vote
to enact hate speech laws and to re-enact the fairness
doctrine.
I would embrace Islamics and homosexuals, while slamming
Evangelicals and traditional values. I would view illegal
immigration as just a way for foreigners to get their share of
Oprah’s money, and I would see those that oppose of such as stingy
and in need of compassion.
War would be nothing more to me than the Republican Party
trying to rule the world for Jesus and using Oprah’s money to do so.
However, I would see a future invasion of Pakistan and the need for
more troops in Afghanistan as
different.
I would have no part of any other
schooling, besides that of public schools. I would believe
that all parents should answer to the state and that schools should
have the right to teach social morals to all children, morals that
embrace the fullness of the world around
us.
It would be my opinion that unions run the businesses and
laws should dictate whom employers have to hire and cannot fire.
The answer to the national debt would be simple to me;
the government should make the rich pay more in taxes and the
treasury can just print more
money.
The Bible Scripture that asks the
question, “For what shall it profit a man, if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” would no longer mean the concern of a
soul going to hell, but rather the seriousness of one losing a part
of one’s self, part of one’s own soul, as The Divine Miss Oprah felt
would happen to her if Obama did not win this
election.
I would ask the question; "What’s so wrong with
Socialism, Sharia Law and alternative
life-styles?"
And when Obama addresses the nation, I would wear the red
and black colors of the warrior shield on the Kenyan flag; and
I would envision a light coming down from heaven and a voice saying
to me, “This is my son, of whom I am well pleased.” And then, I
would wave my American flag and say, “God bless
America!”
