Some hostile, far left liberals cannot stand conservative opinions about Barack Obama.
I published the article “Barack Obama’s Elitist view of America’s Common People.” I expressed my opinion about Obama’s recent comment: “common people cling to their guns and religion when they are frustrated.” I also expressed my belief that he is an elitist. A couple people commented on the article; they had to have been hostile, far left Liberals because their comments were vile, and included expletives. My answer to these people is as follows
So if I have an opinion about something that’s different than yours, that makes me a “dumbass?” This kind of thinking should allow me to say the same about you, since your opinion is different than mine…or, is there a double standard here?The fact that guns and religion have been used to carry out many atrocities throughout time doesn’t make them evil, as you seem to argue. Problems stemming from the evil use of guns and religion can be attributed to those who would use them to gain and hold power.
While you argue the historical harm, in which guns and religion played a role, I could argue the historical opposites, where people could not defend themselves because they were not allowed to have weapons, and were punished because they believed in something of faith. Our country, the Unites States of America, was formed because we did not want to be controlled. We wanted to be free and have a right to be religious (or not to be religious); we did not want to be unarmed and vulnerable, while those with power were armed. We wanted our right to defend ourselves and our family, and be able to defend our freedom whenever it was threatened. (There are those who do not realize that freedom can be snatched from us in a hurry.)Not only are guns used as a means of defense, we also use them for recreation, competition and in sports, the same as knives and such. They are only harmful when they are in the hands of those who would harm others
Because our country is a democracy (”by the people; for the people”), we delegate our individual power to those who we believe more closely represent our own beliefs and values…that is the reason for voting. Obama does not represent my beliefs and values, and from what I have seen and know about him, I believe he is an elitist. As a responsible voting American citizen, I need to do all I can, legally, to prevent him from becoming our next president. Isn’t this what you want to do…oppose candidates you do not want in office?

It’s obvious that Jane has no credibility. Hostile and rude people with no respect for other’s opinions discredit themselves and do not deserve a response, however, I do have a couple comments on her comment. The evil of the 9/11 was not the planes or the religion, just as guns and religion are not the evil. The evil is the terrorists who use these things. I disagree that America is not a republic. Dictionaries generally define a REPUBLIC as, “A state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them.” They also generally define a DEMOCRACY as, “government by the people; A form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.” The terms are generally synonymous. Look it up. All of Jane’s other comments show your lack of knowledge and do not warrant
The last sentence of my comment above should read, “All of Jane’s other comments show her lack of knowledge and do not warrant a response.”
