Shame on you, FRC

The Family Research Council has done it again! I am a Christian who likes to listen to Christian Radio for music, sermons, Bible studies and talk shows. However, when I hear such things as what the FRC babbled recently, I have to change the channel before I change my faith to Buddhist! They called President Obama the first gay president! Now I don't believe there is anything wrong with being gay...president or otherwise, but it was meant as a slam, divisive rhetoric, and an inflamitory rallying cry!

With the Conservative Republican groups (like the TEA party movement), stirring up America on issues which the Republican congress, just a few years ago, took as their cause select, and idiots like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity preaching hate, predjudice and vitriol every day, how can America survive! Our nation is built on compromise, reason, negotiations and unity (E Pluribus Unum). These people divide us and make us feel that they have done the research for us so we don't have to think.

The polarization that we are seeing has been developing since 9/11 at least. The Democrats are not guiltless, but the Republicans certainly shoulder the largest share of the blame. They took as their ammunition to unseat the Democratic majority and president any and everything they could find to work on a wedge to uproot calmness, civility and good sense. We can't run America without taxes, and yet the Republican leadership has sung a song of tax cuts until our national debt has made us a beggar to Communist China! At the end of the Clinton Adm, we not only had a surplus in the national debt, but the economy was soaring! Yes, we had a war to fight (don't get me started) and wars are expensive. However, if you go back in the history of all this you find that the planning, intel, strategy, and all the rest involved were all piss poor and not worthy of this great nation. The Republicans (who created a monster) kept the rhetoric going on what a good thing we were doing and any criticism is treasonous and kills the troup morale.

I am fed up with those who tear down America and this president. He has not even been in office for half his term and already gain sayers are plotting his political demise. Is this predjudice against Blacks? It might well be asked. Perhaps we need a Hyde Park to debate and slander our leaders, rather than spread the evil which exists in the hearts of some of our citizens by means of the media.

Please, Be Calm, and Carry On!
