"Unite behind Obama? Never!"

So says David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, and Biblical and historical scholar who knows American history inside-out, someone who sees the damage the current president is doing to our country.

Thanks to Concrete Bob at United Conservatives of Virginia, here are remarks by David Barton about the current state of affairs in America:

Respect the Office? Yes. Respect the Man in the Office? No, I am sorry to say.

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.

Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama!

I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT that is it.

I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that He is a one-term President!

Why am I doing this?

It is because I do not share Obama's vision or Value system for America; I do not share his Abortion beliefs; I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth; I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August); I do not share his view that America is Arrogant; I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation; I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%; I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than American Citizens who need help; I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage; I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land; I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public); I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America; I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East, and certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.

Bottom line, my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is Right!

For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs!

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country! They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant!

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years; they have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country!

They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ from our Society! They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code; they have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!

Unite behind Obama?

Never!

I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil! PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!

Majority rules in America, and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and "his goals for America."

I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country!! Any more compromise is more defeat!

I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-God crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America!

"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it." (Thomas Jefferson)

The difference now is that more and more people are stepping up and speaking out ... and they agree with David Barton.

The 2009 Summer of Unrest in America continues....

Photo ID required to attend townhall meeting in Houston

~2009 Summer of Unrest in America continues~

Photo ID is required to attend a townhall meeting to speak with your elected representative? Would that keep hired union thugs out?

From Investor's Business Daily we learn:

Hypocrisy: Rep. Gene Green has voted against bills that require people to present a photo ID before they vote. But don't show up at one of his public gatherings without a driver's license. You won't get in.

On his Web site, Green, a Democrat who represents working-class Houstonians, says that "due to a coordinated effort to disrupt our town hall meetings, we will be restricting further attendance to residents of the 29th congressional district and verifying residency by requiring photo identification."

Green's position isn't wholly unreasonable, particularly when crowds are too big for the venues in which meetings are held. In that case, constituents should be given priority. But by requiring attendees to produce a photo ID, he has exposed himself as inconsistent at best and hypocritical at worst.

Thanks to Tom Blumer, from whose Newsbusters.org blog we learned about Green's plan, we know that in 2005 and 2006 the congressman opposed legislation requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls.

Now, what's more important to the current and future health of our republic? Trying to hold clean elections or excluding "outsiders" from public meetings?

The shenanigans of the 2009 Summer of Unrest in America continue as lawmakers refuse to schedule townhall meetings, or pack them with hired Democrat demonstrators, and show arrogance toward their constituents as was the case with Sheila Jackson Lee who took a cell phone call even as a constituent was talking during a townhall meeting.

The arrogance is a big part of the frustration building in voters who feel helpless in the face of huge tax increases and government programs being forced on them. As IBD said of elected reps, "All of them should have the courage to come out of hiding and get the verbal flogging they deserve."

California townhall turns out 3,000 ... huge anti-Obama protest

A picture is worth a thousand words ... and Donald Douglas has video and photos at his American Power blog illustrating the huge turnout at Adam Schiff's townhall meeting Tuesday night in California. Donald writes:

Last night's Adam Schiff town hall was the biggest anti-Obama protest I've attended this year.Here's the scene when I arrived a few minutes after 7:00pm. Representative Adam Schiff had just begun speaking. An estimated 3,000 people were in attendance.

The event was orignally scheduled to be held inside the Alhambra Public Library. Organizers changed the venue to the lawn at City Hall, across from Alhambra High School on 1st Street. I walked around to the other side of the demonstration to snap this shot below. This was as close as I could get. ObamaPlants had set up shop in folding chairs up front.

Donald has posted photos and video of this extraordinary turnout.

Boots on the ground nationwide are filling the gap of information left by the overwhelming silence of the mainstream media. There are hundreds of Donald Douglases out there documenting and participating in what is turning out to be the 2009 Summer of Unrest in America.
