If you haven’t noticed, they have been selling us out for years.
I don’t know exactly what would have happened had Romney won. If he had, I would be in the streets and on talk radio fighting him on the many areas in which we disagree.
Since the days of working on the Goldwater campaign as a teenager, I have recognized the most important job of the President. It is to be the commander in chief. As much as I would fight him on domestic policy, I believe he would have actually been a commander in chief and not pulled this nation from the world stage. Other than Ron Paul, pretty much all the candidates in the GOP primaries of 2012 would have defended the country. Obama is unique in the history of the nation as posing a threat to our very survival. I was certainly not alone in being able to recognize such.
I recognize and admire voting out of conscience. But own the result.
Well I can’t argue with most of your points regarding Obama, but let’s face it...the press was only interested in pushing domestic agenda issues excepting “embarrassment.”
And I do commend you for your statement on voting conscience (though I was a nose-holder), but I really don’t think anyone could have reasonably predicted the level of complicity of this Congress. I truly believe the Republican brand may have suffered irreparable damage.
The Prayer below was written by Washington at Newburgh, New York, at the close of the Revolutionary War on June 14, 1783.
It was sent to the thirteen governors of the newly freed states in a "Circular Letter Addressed to the Governors of all the States on the Disbanding of the Army."
I have thus freely declared what I wished to make known, before I surrendered up my public trust to those who committed it to me. The task is now accomplished. I now bid adieu to your Excellency, as the chief magistrate of your State, at the same time I bid a last farewell to the cares of office and all the employments of public life.
It remains, then, to be my final and only request that your Excellency will communicate these sentiments to your legislature at their next meeting, and that they may be considered the legacy of one, who has ardently wished, on all occasions, to be useful to his country, and who, even in the shade of retirement, will not fail to implore the divine benediction on it.
I now make it my earnest prayer that God would have you, and the State over which you preside, in his holy protection; that he would incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government, to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow-citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for brethren who have served in the field; and finally that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation.
