Hello again, Angry African:
You say the world still looks up to America. And for that reason this election is important. You are right.
And for that reason Obama is not the person to provide the “direction, “guidance” and “leadership” you say is needed. Obama will take us in precisely the wrong direction.
There is a simple 8-stage scale of the typical lifespan of a democracy. Google it. A democracy lasts approximately 200 years. We’re at the apathy leading to dependence stage, most likely. The dependence stage leads back into bondage. And is the final stage.
Obama, with his plans for government intrusion into our lives, would seal our fate. Somewhere I read that a democracy dies when the people realize they can vote themselves “goodies.” Isn’t that just what he’s saying people want? And what he offers?
If you notice, spiritual faith is established in the earliest stage. Obama would give us government as our god. We need to get ourselves back in touch with a faith in God rather than in anything man can offer us.
We would then be that Shining City on the Hill Ronald Reagan spoke of so wonderfully. And we would then be worthy of the leadership, guidance and direction so sorely needed for a lost and wounded world.
