An Open Letter to the Enemies of our President

To the enemies of our President:

We love our president. We prefer not to receive any email regarding anything unsubstantiated, any rumors, any third party gossip. any aspersions against his character particularly without his or someone else's real time opportunity to specifically refute same. Anyone can make a video or sling libel and slander. Just remember how YOU feel when friends or family members are trashing you or your character and you have no recourse to stop it or defend yourself. "Do unto others ..."

Barack Obama IS an American citizen. He is NOT a Muslim. (Even if he were, the Constitution specifically FORBIDS requiring a particular religious belief for any elected official.) The point is moot - doesn't matter, HE IS A CHRISTIAN. And to my knowledge, he has never slandered or vilified YOU or your beliefs.

He is NOT a socialist, a Marxist, a Leninist, a Maoist, a communist, a terrorist, a Nazi, a racist - as alleged by both Glenn and Rush and too many other irresponsible people who think lightly of the hatred they are setting afire. He is NOT part of a "regime" a "cabal" or a "junta." He is our PRESIDENT and he has appointed a CABINET.

As for the latest rumor ... being former CIA connected to Columbian drug cartels for some undefined yet nefarious purpose, I find this ludicrous. As in WHEN? When did he sign? Who recruited him and where was he recruited? He doesn't speak Spanish so the idea he would have been intricately involved in anything Columbian-Drug-Lord related undercover seems naive. Plus, he doesn't look too Latin in my opinion. Where are the FACTS? Why hasn't the accuser filed a Freedom of Information Act request?

George Bush SR. was the HEAD of the CIA before becoming president and conservatives revered his service in this government spy org as a sign of his patriotism. Even when he was later implicated in Iran-Contra drugs-for-guns-for hostages swaps.

I keep seeing these falsely accusatory videos about Obama labelled "watch this today - it will soon be suppressed." Guess what, after weeks and sometimes months, all those videos are still on the internet.

There is a dangerous level of violence being fanned across this country by UNPROVEN, BASELESS charges against our duly elected and sworn PRESIDENT. There are no Death Panels in Obama Care. Grannie isn't going to be "shoved off to an early death" because of Obama Care. Hospice care has NOT been eliminated or rolled back under Obama Care. Folks who say these things are lying. We insist - disagree if you will but PLEASE stick to the facts. PROVE what you SAY by citing chapter and verse. Where is the Death Panel mentioned? We have read the over 2,000 pages of this bill and have found NO DEATH PANELS. Have YOU read the bill? If not, why not? Shouldn't you KNOW what is in it instead of relying on others to make you afraid of what is in it? You are intelligent enough to make an informed decision for yourself. SO DO IT!!!!

When Dick Cheney was the veep, he stated flatly that anyone who impugned the President for ANY REASON during a time of war was fomenting treason. Obama is our LEGALLY ELECTED President. We are still fighting the wars engaged by George W. So, does this make Cheney a traitor by his own words? He has condemned himself and has no need of it from us.

How can any Christian or American of good conscience continue to fan the flames of misrepresentation and outright lying? The bible has ideas about bearing false witness. And when it comes to inciting violence and hatred purely for their own spiteful sakes, those that will not mend their ways will "surely inherit the wind."
Because what goes around does come around, and around and around.
