Content of Character

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” MLK

Four years ago today I boarded a half full flight to New York City to fulfill a dream I had. In those short hours spread out in coach,  I jotted down the first entry to this blog on that momentous day. It has since tracked my progress and measured my growth by actions and deed's in accordance with God's and often times my will. Sprinkled with some failures and trimmed with my own triumphs, I can see what God has changed in me and still how far I have to go.

Four years ago today, President Barak Obama took the high office as our Commander in Chief and President of the United States. I wrote about my hopes for him and what fruit he might bear. And through his term, on these virtual pages, I have candidly and factually documented his works for the American people and his self serving agenda.

Today, the 47 percent (that's right) of approving sheep will coral themselves into our nation's capital and in front of their boob tubes to once again glorify the most liberal (not to be confused with progressive) leader we have ever encountered and forget the blinding fact that we are more divided as equals than ever.  While they wave their flags of hope and gaze blank eyed at their Messiah, the fact he has added six trillion dollars to our national debt as we wallow in (his words) the worst recession since the great depression isn't even a consideration.
Poverty and unemployment have risen exponentially... He has disregarded the Constitution and deemed it a mere annoyance, in a selfish decision to issue 23 executive orders in the pursuit of tighter gun control. This latest assault attacks our individual rights and represents blatant defiance of our of checks and balances.
Furthermore, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US is taking home less from our earned paycheck. And in an unfounded, unheard of non-action, He hasn't even proposed a budget in his entire presidency.
Can we all BAHHH like sheep together?

And here's the real rub for those who think it is prolific poetic justice that this far left, half black president is sworn in on Dr. Martin Luther King Day. 
MLK was conservative and is weeping at where we are as a people.

 The majority of his message in his charismatic civil rights movement was that of the institution of church and religion. His core beliefs, like overwhelming power and necessity of faith-based association and self-government based on truth and moral law, are profoundly conservative. The absolute opposite of this president!!
For Martin Luther King, individual freedom depended upon civic responsibility and content of character. Not giving privileges or handouts to special interest groups or minority races. 
Do you know what I think is slavery, living off the government and not your own will. 
Have we really come so far?

King aimed to unite a divided America strictly based on  the goals of our Founding Fathers, not to change fundamentally unjust public policies to favor groups (the non-wealthy or the non-white). 
King led with love, not racial hatred. Obama incites racial division based on haves and have nots.
"His Dream" echoes that of the Founders: "all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." 

This president wants to take points away from those who ran harder and faster.  

Now, how has our situation improved?
