I was just looking at a blog I follow, and saw a video that literally almost brought tears to my eyes. I want you to go look at it on her blog, I don't want to take credit for finding it. Here's the link. Go ahead, check it out... I'll wait....
Back? Did it make you as sick to your stomach as it did me? What about this video:
Does that look like something you'd want your child participating in? Yeah, not so much.
People are trying to find just about anything to replace God, aren't they? I mean, the absolute worship of President Obama is mind-numbing.
I've got to leave for practice, so I may try to finish this later, I just wanted to let people know about some of this.

Where have I heard this before...?
I can't even believe this.
The YouTube page has the lyrics for both songs under "More Info".
While I think the entire thing is disgusting, the thing that stood out to me the most was this verse of the first song:
"He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama"
I had to rewind my TV a couple of times to make sure I heard that right. I couldn't believe it. You know where I've heard that before? How's this sound:
"Jesus Loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They're all precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world"
Really? Are you kidding me?
Okay, it's been pretty apparent for awhile that President Obama seems to think he's the Holy One, but there are teachers having our kids sing songs like these? Seriously? It literally makes me want to scream, cry, or both. My daughter is only four months old, but I'm already terrified about what is going on in the public schools, and I just graduated a little over four years ago!
Just so I have this straight, schools aren't allowing Christmas carols to be taught anymore, people are complaining about the pledge, and who knows what else; but songs of praise about President Obama, one of which is to the tune of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", are alright? Please, tell me, how in the world does that make sense? The fact that the line that I posted above is, intentionally or not, extremely similar to a song about Jesus makes me more than angry. There is a lot of placing President Obama as equal to, or greater than, God that is frightening. Has anyone heard of "You shall have no other gods before Me"? First commandment in the list, to me that would seem important... Not that any of them are not, or less, important.
I'm just wanting to know when we're going to wake up? I'm sure this isn't the only school that is promoting this kind of thing. I'd have maybe thought that it was, until the other day when I saw the video, "The Story of Stuff", that they're showing in schools. Parents, please, if you have any concern about what they're teaching your children, get involved, and put a stop to this garbage. What would have been said if there was a song about Bush being taught to children? I think I'm going to be sick if I keep thinking about it.
I was going to post today on the the anti-Israel style of speech that our President gave yesterday, though I honestly haven't heard the speech in it's entirety. When I saw this video, my mind changed. Which, since I haven't heard the entire thing, it's probably better that I didn't comment on it. Oh well, if you read this far, I'm sorry it was so long. I appreciate you reading it!

We're all racist?
Well, I've been out of town for the past few days, so I've been out of the loop on what's going on. Sure, I heard a little bit of news as we left, and as we returned, but not too much.
The one thing that I have heard the most about is former president Jimmy Carter's statement, "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American."
That's the kind of thing that I'm sick of hearing. Yes, there are racists out there. Everyone will admit that. However, I think it's absurd that people are throwing this race card all over the place. A majority of America voted him into office, but now that a majority of Americans don't like his policies, they're racist? The pieces just don't fit. The worst part though, is how the MSM is helping push this thought:
The fact that they didn't show that the person with this weapon on his arm was African-American blows my mind.
The more I see every day of this insanity is really making me feel like my head is going to explode. The man in the video of NBC says that there is an anger about a "black person being president." I honestly haven't heard one person that is angry because he is black. The media can't provide one. They might try. Heck, they might find some lunatic that truly is racist, and place him/her as the "spokesman" of the "tea-party movement". They can't, however, back the claims of those like Jimmy Carter.
It's all fear. Fear of being considered a racist. Heck, I don't want to be called racist. I'm not. Most Americans aren't. Though, if you disagree with the policies of the president and this administration, you're suddenly a racist.
Don't listen to it. Stand up for what you believe in. Names are going to be thrown around, as we saw with the things that the people going to the town halls were called. We know we're not racist. The color of a person's skin is irrelevant. This is about the dramatic changes our country is going through, and we don't like it. Don't fear those on the far left that are willing to try to find everything they can to scare you into submission. Tell them it won't work. You know what's right. Let them know.

My First Post - I. Am. An. American.
Hey Everyone. I'm Kris Savage, I'm 22, and have lived in Independence, Mo for most of my life. I have a beautiful wife, Layna, and wonderful daughter, Chloe.
Normally, I'm not very active in politics. Normally I'm not very outspoken, usually I just listen, and create my own thoughts in my mind. However, lately I've felt the need to express what I believe to be the truth. I feel that if I don't start expressing what is going on in my mind, my head will explode. So I've created this blog. My first post, I'm going to copy and paste from a note that I typed last night on Facebook. I want people to read this, and respond. I just ask that you refrain from using any type of profanity in your comments. It is unnecessary, and I will delete any that contain it. I'm also not saying that I'm always right. This is to start a conversation.
Anyway, here's the note I posted on my Facebook last night:
Hey everyone, if you don't want to hear me ramble for awhile, then stop now. Just a fair warning. Maybe I should create a disclaimer. Eh... nah.
Eight years ago today was the biggest slaughter of American lives in history. I'm sure all of you remember where you were, and how you felt when it happened. I do. I will never forget it either. So surreal. An attack, on America, the greatest nation in the world. It couldn't be real. It had to be someone's sick joke. Unfortunately it wasn't.
How about this though: Do you remember what it was like the day after? How about the week after? The month? I do. The country was united. United against an evil that none of us could understand. I remember that there were far fewer robberies, and murders, and such. I remember a country standing for freedom. A country whose state-boundaries disappeared. We weren't 50 states, we were a nation. One nation, under God, indivisible, indestructible, with liberty and justice for all.
What's happened to that? Now we have a major line, right down the middle of our country. I don't care if you're liberal, conservative, or whatever. Why are we letting the government put into more projects, more bills, more plans, more control into our lives? This country declared it's independence from a country whose government had too much control. Americans have worked hard since the founding of this great country to keep their lives their own; to try to live the American dream of using their own blood, sweat, and tears to succeed. Our grandparents, and great-grandparents, and so on, would never have dreamed to have the government spend taxpayer money to make their lives easier. They would be ashamed of us for expecting as much. They didn't need health care, or bailouts, or any of the things that are being shoved down our throats today. They made it because of a desire to do better for their children, and grandchildren.
Yes, people will fail. It's a sad part of life. However, you can't expect to always have someone get you out of a mess you get yourself in. Whatever happened to the term "American Ingenuity"? Are we now going to say, "Good ole' government ingenuity?"
This note isn't about your opinions on things such as abortion, gay marriage, the war, George Bush, Barack Obama, or whatever. This is wondering why you're not worried about your freedom.
We have the greatest constitution in the world. Why are we ignoring it? Why are we allowing 32 czars to be around the president, none of which have been approved by the senate, all of which answer only to the president, all of which are getting paid with taxpayer money, some of who have very radical ideas, that are nowhere near in line with the American people. None of them have to answer to the people whose money is paying their salary.
What has happened? Where is our country headed, because I don't know about you, but I don't like it.
9/11/09. Eight years since the last time this country really came together as one. It's time we did that again.
There is a march on Washington happening tomorrow. Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people are expected to show up. Not just republicans, but democrats and independents as well. Joining together to stand up to the people in Washington who are so out of touch with what the people of this great country really want. They'll probably be called "tea-baggers", "Nazis", "un-American", or many other despicable names by those trying to push themselves into more power. Well, if I could, I would be there. You can call me whatever name you want to, but it's not going to bother me. I am an American.
I. Am. An. American.
