Beware....very long post ahead!
I think a lot of people can agree that last night was quite the shocking and disappointing evening. I did a lot of thinking though and decided that if I want the best life for my family, the best thing I can do is be supportive of our new president and hope that he will make good decisions that will lead our counrty into success.
Now, after reading his acceptance speach, I have completely lost my respect for this man. In John McCain's speech, it summed up exactly what kind of person he was. A great person that truly does want what is best for this country, Obama not so much. He made it a point to criticize and belittle John McCain. Seriously, his entire speech was Anti- John McCain. What can of man is that? All Obama cares about is himself and becoming president. Shouldn't he have been focused on the things he will do, not the things he won't do.
For all you people out there that had so much faith and hope in Obama, what do you think about the fact that he has made promises to all of us that things will get better. That he is going to tax the upper class in hopes that it will bring on a better life for the rest of us. That us middle class and lower class will finally get the break we deserve but wait...there's a catch. Last night in Obama's speech, he said that now we are all going to have to sacrifice. Wait...I thought that he was going to put a higher tax on the upper class and big business so that all we have sacrificed over this last year and beyond, people losing their homes, their jobs, cars, ect...we would finally have a break. What more do we have to sacrifice Mr. Obama? So many of us are already without so much. I think everyone of us out there knows someone personally that has lost something in this financial crisis, if not ourselves.
The thing I don't understand the very most about him though is that fact that he can support abortion. Obama says, and this is a direct quote from his acceptance speech, "I will build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century: terrorism and nuclear proliferation, poverty and genocide, climate change and disease." Note the word genocide. Did you know that over a million abortions are performed a year? Isn't that genocide?
How can we trust the judgement of a man who has no moral issues with killing innocent babies, but letting murderous criminals live. Letting our tax dollars go and pay so that they can live in a cell, free food, free living, free education!
He talks about the value of family. How can you value family when it is so easy for you to destroy the thing that makes a family?
Abortion is NEVER okay. I don't care if you have been rapped or not. You can hate the rappist, hate the situation, but don't hate the innocent child. I know personally, many many families that would adopt a product of rape child without a second thought and it would make no difference to them how the baby was conceived. Don't think I am an insensitive person for saying these things. I could not imagine the pain and anger a rape victim must go through, but killing this baby is not going to make what happened go away. If anything, it will turn a bad situation worse. Why not let something good come out of such an ugly scenario and give the baby to a loving, willing family. Give this child a chance at life!
And for those ladies out there that get pregnant and just don't want to deal, news flash, you made this decision to have sex. The number one purpose of sex is to procreate. It doesn't matter if you used protection and it failed, it wasn't an accident because once again, the sole purpose of sex is to procreate!
I have also said this before, back to the housing market. How is raising the capital gains tax going to help anyone what so ever? The few people out there that still have the time and ability to sale their house, now won't be able to because they won't be able to afford it.
Obama talks about us all being equal. All being entitled to the same rights. I agree, but wasn't Obama the man that went to Rev. Wright for over twenty years? The man that says flat out how much he hates whites. Last time I checked, don't white people deserve to have rights and be equal too? This is coming from a girl who is 50 percent Puerto Rican and is proud of her Latina heritage. And tell me this, how are we all equal if just because you make more money, because you have worked your butt off, your extra money should go to the white trash of this world so they can buy more booze, cigarettes and have more abortions.
Obviously right now I am incredibly bitter. Sore loser, probably, but more so, disappointed. I really feel like if people honestly did there research, we would have heard a different acceptance speech from a different man. People need to turn off their MTV and go and do their own research and develop their own opinion.
Obama talks about change, well, quite frankly, I'd rather things stay the same than have them go completely down hill the way it will when Obama takes office. He is a radical and a socialist. His health care plan is completely ridiculous. Ever wonder why all Brits have such horrid teeth? Because they are on the same health plan that Obama wants us to turn to.
I leave this little speech of mine with a scripture from the new testament. I think everything in this scripture describes Obama pretty well. "This know also that in the last days, perilous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of their own selves. Covetous, bosters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful unholy. With out natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good."
Please God, bless America!

I really like books by Daniel Silva. I didn't know that this was a series and accidentally read the last one first but it was still really good. They are about espionage. So, if your are looking for a good spy book, here is one. Warning, they swear in it! Not a ton but there still is some.
I didn't really know what this book was when I started it. It's a true story about the auther, Douglas Preston and his friend Mario Spezi who start doing research into a case. It's about a serial killer who murders couples in Florence, Italy. To this day, they have never found the killer. It's also a pretty good book. It's a little graphic though and they also swear in it.
This is the first book in Daniel Silva's "Gabrielle Allon" spy series. I really liked this one a lot! Once again, some swearing.
I haven't actually finished this book yet, but so far it's super cute. It has a Harry Potter"esque" sort of tone. It's about a young girl named Meggie who thinks that her father is just a book binder when he is kidnapped and she finds out there is a lot more to her father than she knows, including the reason her father will not read out loud to her!
This is the kind of sequel to The Giver. I liked it a lot. It's pretty short and easy reading. I wouldn't say I loved it but it was overall really good.
My little brother told me I had to read the Artemis Fowl books. I'm actually on the second one. Once again, I wouldn't say I LOVE them but they are good and great for passing the time.
This book is NOT for the weak in testimony. It started out SOO good I couldn't put it down. All the way up until the last little bit when Dan Brown totally disappointed me. Let's face it, the man hates organized religion and God. So, yes, it was generally an awesome book with an intense story line, but don't be fooled, nothing is what it seems to be.
Loved this book and I can't wait to see the movie. It has so many good lessons in it. I really really recommend reading it. It's just wonderful. It's not too long either.
A Christmas Carol, also a Christmas classic. I have grown up watching the movie Scrooge every Christmas for as long as I can remember but I haven't ever actually read the book. First off, if you haven't seen the movie "Scrooge" I HIGHLY recommend it. It's a musical version of the classic story "A Christmas Carol" and so far the best version I have seen of all the making of it. The book is just as great as the movie. I love it and totally recommend reading it, especially as Christmas draws nearer!
By the way, this is Chace Crawford from Gossip Girl. If you haven't watched it, I totally recommend it! It's freakin awesome. I totally love it. My little sister Erica and her best friend Desiree totally set aside Monday nights so we can watch it! Oh, and I don't think these pictures actually do him justice. You will just have to watch Gossip Girl to understand what I am talking about!
Norsey's suppose to be a bumble bee!
