I think ther...I'm completely with you, Amanda. I think there is a big difference between standing up for what you believe in and judging others for their beliefs, which is what the "like/dislike" debate seems to center around. Wishing for someone to die, whether in seriousness or in jest, only puts the idea of hate in our hearts.<br /><br />I know that I was irritated with all the democrats bashing President Bush for eight years, and while I don't like many (read: any) of Obama's policies, I'd rather go with a completely non-hypocritical position. After all, he won by a fair majority of the population. And those who don't like it should get more of their like-minded friends to vote next time! The Republicans (and Democrats for that matter) are always looking for people to work on their campaigns.Laura and Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784418155734493758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025482884405462729.post-79913296148637112812010-04-22T11:52:53.118-05:002010-04-22T11:52:53.118-05:00Amanda these have been going around for years....j...Amanda these have been going around for years....just with the names changed....they haven't been sent out for just Obama....they have been sent out for other political figures..and I'm sure they will be sent out for future political figures and not just political figures but others in leadership position...I personally do not see anything wrong with it...for one reason, I have sit silently watching friends put down my political views, on gays, abortion Christianity, and my God and Savior, and etc. then we have a president who doesn't see anything wrong with it....yes pray for him, and other leaderships, but I pray that God removes him, before he completely destroys what the Presidential Office used to mean, what it was founded on.<br />I believe that most of what is posted is only in fun, and frustration for where our country is headed...especially if we don't start standing up for our Christian beliefs and what God wants us to stand up for. I'm sure Obama isn't sitting around worrying about all the little things that are said on a daily basis...as I said early..these have been around many times, and not just from the conservative side. just my 2 cents...for what its worth.kt1227https://www.blogger.com/profile/06776475390350775326noreply@blogger.com
