Why I won’t vote for Obama: Responding to critics
First of all, the blog I posted yesterday apparently touched a nerve with some. I thought I would take a moment to respond to the negative comments that were made and clear up some misinterpretations that were inferred from my writing.
1. Nowhere in my blog did I mention Sarah Palin - or my view of her. Some commenters feel the need to throw her into any political discussion.
2. Nowhere in my blog did I state that I believe Obama is the Anti-Christ. Perhaps you should re-read my comment to understand the satirical, tongue-in-cheek slant it was presented in to offer up food for thought. Whether I believe he is the Anti-Christ or not would be a personal belief - and not something I would share here.
3. The world at large DID NOT love JFK. In fact, most of the world outside the US hated him: Think Latin America, Russia, China, Eastern Europe and pretty much all other countries and territories where Communism had interest. I think the hatred of JFK was evidenced by the fact that he was assassinated.
4. I never said once that I was not going to vote - only that I would not vote for Obama.
5. I have visited and read (and even enjoyed some) blogs of all of those who took the time and effort to read and comment (negatively and in some cases insultingly) on my blog. I appreciate their honesty and their passion for their subjects (I especially appreciated and enjoyed the What Would Batman Do blog). I appreciate your rights of free speech and would never deign to insult you or belittle you in any comment I make on your blog. I might disagree with your opinion and beliefs, but I would be civil and respectful about it, but I guess that’s just me!
So thank you for visiting, have a wonderful day and a great weekend.
