Letter: Hatred for Obama dims America's future





Thursday, November 05, 2009

Raymond Sobel's excellent Oct. 26 letter (“Facts can't compete with irrational opinion”) was brilliantly constructed to bring attention to growing destructive forces in America, and written clearly to accommodate the simple-minded. Here is the rub though: The simples, partisans and haters will not consider the facts, as was pointed out in the research article that Sobel presented.

For years I have been hearing/seeing these armies of nation-destroying nuts multiplying at a fast rate, contributing to many of America's downward spirals. Only a few are exposing and opposing this evil movement, so I see no bright future for America.

The hate for President Barack Obama by these groups is unbelievable. What is there about this man to hate? If one can't like him, who could one like? He is friendly, considerate, humble and more. He is trying to erase the divide, so much so that he is losing objectivity and not showing leadership. Obama's concessions to Republicans (Party of No) is very detrimental to America. He seems obsessed with bipartisanship to the point that it is more important than what must be done for our country. I couldn't hate him for that though; it just isn't leadership.

Talking about hate, I saw a letter written by a so-called preacher to an acquaintance and this man of God was chastising my acquaintance for bringing attention to Fox's lies. This preacher called Obama the “almighty president” in a very detrimental way. Another example of how hate shines through while hiding behind the Bible.

Could there be a large underground organization that funds these start-up religions? How else would these neo-con Bible carriers live in comfort with a wife and five or six children while they build their flock to spread evil?

THE REASON WHY SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE PRESIDENT OBAMA IS BECAUSE HE IS BLACK
AND, THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.




Many will not like him because he's half black, but let's remember if he was white he wouldn't be prez right now.

Poor Dewey

Get over yourself Dewey. Doesn't matter who is in the Office. White, black, green, purple. If they were as inept as he has been and as misguided as he is, everyone would still be ticked off. You are mistaking "hate" for disgust.

I actually don't care if he does or doesn't, but this type of crap obviuosly is meant to whip up fervor against Obama, not for religious, but political reasons.

I should have been mores specific - in the White House. A lady who has designed an ornament for the White House trees for years has declined this year because they want no religious ornaments. Maybe we should all send the pres a religious CHRISTMAS card.

mr. funkhouser

so I take it you are looking in the mirror and seeing yourself!

anyone who has a differing opinion with you or your messiah obama is part of a "flock to spread the evil"

you will be a happier person when you can accept there are differing views and maybe even open that mind of yours, listen, hear what others say and maybe learn something!

look forward to your next sign!

Yes, no CHRISTMAS trees. The Obamas instead are having "Winter Holiday" trees, taking CHRIST out. I guess that is to make his Muslim friends happy. Check it out on hoax/slayer.

I have also been a Republican all my life, and will not rest until my party is lilly white, with all the liberal RINO's tossed out. As for the poor folks, I got mine, you get yours. I rue the day when this country socialized medical coverage with MediCare, I think ALL the profits should go into the small pool of hands of big insurance companies, and that everyone was born with a pre-existing condition. Long live Jesse Helms!

And just a bit of info - did you Obama supporters know that the White House will not have Christmas trees this year? They are taking the very reason for this holiday out of our White House. Sorry, but that would be enough for me to question the agenda of this man.

Does it not bother you Obama lovers that he is trying to court the Muslim nations? Remind me, who was responsible for 9/11/01? YOu people need to wake up. Obama is no leader, he stands back and lets others do his job, he is threatening a news network because they do not agree with him, and the list goes on. And I did not get this from Fox, but from Obama himself.

I do not hate Obama. What I hate is what he and his administration is doing to our country. You can continue to talk about Bush and the Repubs all you want, but the bottom line is that Obama has not done anything he said he would do and Bush nor Repubs have anything to do with that.

Don't blame the Republicans....they can't help it. They lived in cognitive dissonance for so long, having to support policies of the previous president, which all but destroyed our economy, as well as an entire country which we invaded for reasons based on lies. I can't imagine what it would have taken to support that, now they are releasing all that pent up anger on Obama. It won't work, the country is wise to the Republicans.

Obama has been in office for not 1/8th the time that Bush was in office and unfortunately, while I voted for Bush,
all Bush did is add more to the national debt, get us into two asinine wars and nearly sink our economy
If Obama does as bad, then I will listen but I doubt he will I have seen Bush destroy what I thought was a small government party- He and the republicans are losers- do not take your spleen out on Obama he inherited this mess.

I seem to remember Dewey expressing his disapproval of Obama not that long ago in one of his letters here. It's strange that he would be taking up for him again.

It's the economy stupid not the color. White, black, pink or purple the jobs aren't there, the proposed insurance bills will kill business, and the payback of the stimulus money will bankrupt us. Obama didn't make this mess but he accepted responsiblity when he ran so now it's on his watch. And so far it's been disappointing to say the least.

anon: i'll agree with that to a point. however, my motivation lies with his ideologies, not his skin color. i don't give a rat's A$$ if he's green. his policies and those of the far left (i.e. pelosi, reid and the like minded) will DESTROY this nation.

For YEARS leftists threw everything but the kitchen sink at Bush, now they can't imagine for the life of them why anyone would dislike Obama? This is not the first time I've heard this argurment. "Like him because he's the president, and he's nice.." NEVER.

IT IS NOT A MATTER OF LIKE OR DISLIKE OF OBAMA. FACE FACTS.

True Hatred

Dewey, I recognize that you expew hatred in your letter just as the factions you mention. How is this different? You might want to consider that tolerance can run both ways. Look inside your own heart for your reflection.

talk about hatred

11/05/2009 07:41:17 AM

Nothing compares with the vicious hatred coming from leftists such as Olbermann, Garofalo, Maher, Madow, etc. These people are great examples of the intolerance of the left for anyone who disagrees with them or Obama.
