I Need to Pray Harder

I need to pray harder for my country and my president, President Barak Obama. We seem to be slipping away.

My country and its media now think it acceptable to heckle an outgoing president, President Bush, at his successor's inauguration. "Na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye". How crass and lacking in civility. Once a society loses civility, it is easy to continue the downward spiral.

How can our society create a 5 hour epic salute to Che Guevara and have the movie adored by critics? The Hollywood elite have given up any duty to America in their misplaced sense of self-importance. They feel no need to respect our military men but instead ridicule them as stupid, vicious and contemptible. Our celebrities have created more propaganda for our outright enemies than they have created honest movies about our military. Do the names Paul Smith, Michael Monsoor mean anything to you. Both Congressional Medal of Honor winners. In previous eras their stories would be known. In our time they are anonymous people lest the elites in this country be required to tell their heroic stories.

How can the media have 35 times the coverage of the Obama inauguration than the last Bush inauguration and still claim they are non-partisan? All the media coverage of Obama is adoring and propagandistic while dragging Bush through the mud. The media is pathetic.

How can the first phone call of an incoming president be to the head of the Palestinian Authority? Could he possibly make a call to allies that have stood by us in our times of need? Maybe Australia, Great Britian, the former East European countries that have proven themselves members of modern society?

How can we have a prayer after the oath of office for President Obama that ridicules Asians and whites? To as "yellows to mellow" is ignorant and devisive. If I were Asian I would be angry. Because they excel they should be admonished?

How can the portion of the population that has taken such enjoyment in running down President Bush now clamor for civility and partnership?

I pray for President Obama, that he will make ethical, sound and wise decisions. I pray that his opposition will be more reasoned and sane than President Bush's while not compromising their principles.
