Obama's chance

How many times have you heard leaders of both parties say, "Give Obama a chance." But what is it, exactly, they want him to have a chance at? They say they want him to succeed, but at what?

The Democratic Party has been working for the last couple of decades to destroy the family structure, remove God from the public scene, legalize same-sex marriages, disarm citizens, raise taxes on the rich and destroy opposition with the Freedom of Information Act -- and much more that is contrary to our founding. Are these the things we should give President Obama a chance to succeed at?

Obama and most of those he has appointed to his Cabinet and other position are left-wing liberals who have made it clear what kind of America they want. Unfortunately, with our news, entertainment and academic media radically left and an electorate that is civically and politically illiterate, they will have a great chance and will undoubtedly succeed in many areas. I hope and pray that after Obama's administration has ended we still have an America that is restorable.

The Obama administration will appoint hundreds of judges, possibly a couple to the Supreme Court, who will legislate from the bench instead of interpreting laws.

Liberalism is easy. It's the path of social least resistance and produces instant gratification but does nothing to strengthen or produce long-term gains for our country and its citizens. Liberalism as an ideology is nothing more than a political placebo. Wake up, America.
