Is the Commander-in-Chief also the Pastor-in-Chief?

You have got to give Ann Barnhardt some credit.  She gives you food for thought.  I am thinking about things I don't normally think about.  Like how the government has taken over the things that churches used to do-- such as taking care of the poor, the sick, and the elderly.  Now, the President wants to scare people into voting for him because they have no one else to turn to for help.  But wait, we used to do things differently in the old days.  We actually depended on ourselves.  Shriek! goes the Democrats.  Being left on your own!  The horrors!

You see, this is what the Democrats have trained us all into believing.  That they, and they alone are needed in times of trouble like this.  But really, isn't government the same thing as your own community?  So, why run to Washington, when you've got your own people in your own cities and towns that can help you?  I would bet that the vast majority of the people who vote for Obama would not think of this as a possibility.  Or there may be another reason.  They prefer the anonymity of the Federal government over the knowledge of one's own community.  You can hide out better from the Feds than from people who know you.  If you can help yourself, but won't, the Feds won't care.  But your neighbors would.

It really is a better system because it polices itself better.  For what polices a system where people have no incentive to do better when it is in their capacity to do better?  Incentive is the word.  Unless you have an incentive, you won't do something.  Nothing will motivate you to do something, unless it is out of sheer boredom.  It is better to have more motivation than that.  Unless, of course, we really don't want any better, or have lost hope that there can be any better.  Shame on the Democrats for allowing that to happen if it comes to pass.

There's something that I noticed lately.  Signs at the supermarket saying that they won't accept EBT cards.  You know, those cards that work like food stamps.  It appears that there's been too much abuse of the system, so now there's a tendency to crack down on it.  It's the old incentive again.  If people don't have the incentive, they won't behave better.  If they have to go through the checkout with the type of stuff that really doesn't belong on a food stamp, and face a cashier, they may be shamed into behaving better.  Now, if Obama wins, that incentive may go away too.  We will have lost yet another battle.

These are further reasons to oppose Obama.  He and the Democrats are causing people to give up.  Is that why you should vote for Obama?  So you can be a slob and nobody will say anything because it is useless and pointless because nothing can be done?  Or if someone tried to do something, the government will come down on the favor of the slobs and force everybody else who is being responsible to cater to them?

Now, if you don't have a job, and your pastor asks you what have you done to get a job, and you say--- "nothing"--- you say you'd rather not have that pastor ask you such embarrassing questions.  You'd rather have that Pastor-in-Chief in Washington who doesn't give a damn if you never work another day.  Because that strengthens him and his party, while it weakens your own will do it in order to help yourself.

Hopefully, this post is offered so that it may get some people to think a little more carefully about what they're doing this November.  I wish I could feel confident about that, though.  The Democrats may have done their jobs well.  They just may have corrupted enough people into liking this new way.
