If you scared go to church

In the days, weeks, and months after 9/11, our country was together like no other time in my lifetime. Regardless of how you felt about our policies, foreign or domestic, most of us felt like somebody had to pay. I am very critical of our country and its policies past and present, but I felt about 9/11 like I feel about Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Killing "civilians" , and calling it an act of war, is a dishonorable thing to do especially in the name of religion. I think it contradicts the fundamentals of its purpose.

Barack Obama is showing us how far away we are from were we were then. His most recent comments are truthful, just like his speech in response to the comments of his former pastor Jeremiah Wright. People are voting on things that they should not be. People want things to change but they let politicians, the media, fear, insecurities, and self serving beliefs punch the ticket for them at the polls. Then they talk about how little politicians do.

The truth hurts. We all know something true about ourselves that we don't want to admit. We all know things that are fact yet we dismiss them as theory, speculation, or pure fiction.

So for this election if you want to continue to hear what is easier on the ears then you should not vote for Obama. But if you're not scared of the truth and of the changes that we all know we need to make, then vote for Barack Obama.
