What in the world is this country coming to? I truly don't get it. It makes me ill as I watch the news, and look at news online. There is SO much disgusting behavior that the liberals are pulling. They don't have the records to argue with, so they do the low blows. These "sweet, kind, tolerant" people do things like this:
Disgusting graphic "celebrity fantasy" about S.E. Cupp and this: Beating an effigy of Nikki Haley .
But, as disgusting, vulgar and revolting that is, what makes me worry about the direction of our country is THIS one: 16 year old blogger gets DEATH THREATS because she simply said that she believed that the Bible says marriage is between one man and one woman. Let me just say here and now ~ I believe like Madeleine McAulay at Faith Hope and Politics ~ I too believe that marriage was created by God and it is something sacred and honorable between man and woman.
But SERIOUSLY?!?!?! A 16 year old girl is receiving death threats from fellow Americans because she voiced her opinion?!?! There is something FUNDAMENTALLY wrong here. I pray that I could have the same courage that she exhibits. And the GRACE which she exhibits it. She {and the others like her} are what truly give me hope for the future of my country. Oh that we adults will stand up so that the young ones aren't doing it by themselves. We need to take our cues from her {and others like her} to just fight for our country. Let's not be the kind that let's them take the heat for voicing while we sit on our laurels behind them. Let's not let them take the bullets for us. Let's stand if not in front of them, let's stand with these brave young souls willing to receive death threats.
THAT is what this election is about. Preserving this country and the freedoms in this country to allow our children to have the right to stand up and say what some of us are too lazy/scared/uncaring enough to say.
This election is NOT about sitting out throwing a "protest" fit because your guy isn't the nominee, so you just aren't going to vote. No before we can change the direction of this country, we have to STOP the downward spiral. Stopping it goes by the name of Romney. No, he isn't my choice. But he will be the one that I vote for come November. Because we need to stop the direction we are heading. PERIOD.
So, who's with me?! Will you be voting this November. Don't be part of the 100 million eligible voters who just choose NOT to vote. Make plans NOW to cast that ballot. We have to preserve and defend our country for those 16 year old bloggers who are receiving death threats. For our children that they may see the greatness that our country has the possibility of being once again. And for ourselves.
