These words should send a chill up the spine of all patriots who read them. When these words first came to my mind, I became nauseated. We live in a world today that I would have never envisioned possible, at least not in my lifetime. The United States has always been THE country in firm opposition to such beliefs. Don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating limiting religion "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"...But it seems there are some, including our esteemed President Barack Obama, who would not only "establish" Islam, but push us toward it at an increasingly alarming rate. President Obama continued what Rush Limbaugh calls "Obama's Apology Tour" today at Cairo University in Egypt. He quoted from the Bible, the Torah, and the Koran. What I don't understand is what he hopes to accomplish with his "Apology Tour"..."Tolerant" Muslims are apparently already on the peace bandwagon, so there is no need to convince them otherwise. Changing the minds of hardened Muslim Extremists, who are loyal to Osama bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other Muslim leaders advocating Jihad against the United States are not going to stop hating us, simply because the President of the hated nation asks them. So, all are left scratching their heads wondering if there is a method to this madness. The President continued his apologies, regarding the former administration, and kept referring to the "rich heritage" that Islam provides us with. Earlier in the week in a French interview, President Obama said that "if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world". Furthermore, according to Telegraph.co.uk, the Deputy National Security Adviser stated that Obama had "experienced Islam on three continents...growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father -- obviously Muslim Americans [are] a key part of Illinois and Chicago"...He has also gone out of his way on this tour to refer to himself by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama. This begs the question WHY NOW?...During the 2008 Presidential campaign, then Senator Obama went to great lengths to distance himself from any correlation between himself and the Islamic faith. One is left then to assume that this is nothing more than as Islamic pandering tour.
Osama bin Laden and Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have already verbally lambasted the President and encouraged their followers to not be fooled by President Obama's flattering words...He also seems to have further alienated some Israelis by repeatedly suggesting the Israelis pull out of occupied areas and that there be an established and recognized Palestinian state. He also stated earlier in the the week that Iran, a known supporter of terrorists, had a "right" to pursue nuclear ambitions as long as the ambitions were for "legitimate" uses...Good luck with that ambitious cause Mr. President...It seems that all President Obama has realistically succeeded in doing is further stirring up a hornet's nest that had already been brought to a boiling point with the announcement that Iran had finally enriched enough Plutonium to complete a nuclear weapon...Let's hope that it will die down again and that President Obama's trip will be short enough to keep him from causing irreparable damage...

I___________promise to uphold and defend the Constitution...
These words begin one of the most famous and sacred oaths to ever be uttered by any American...From FEMA employees to the armed services to the SCOTUS to the POTUS, these words carry with them the inherent responsibility to not only defend the Constitution with votes or words, but in some cases it means to defend it from your very self. That same self that wants to rush in and shoot convicted rapists and child molesters instead of letting them serve their sentence, that in many cases is far to lenient...That same self that sees perceived "wrongs" and wants to correct them, even if it means doing something against the letter of the law. The ability to make those decisions that "uphold" the Constitution instead of "righting a wrong" (perceived) is what makes a great leader. Our Founding Fathers created a document that has been the ruling document of a nation longer than any other in documented history. Flawed in some areas it may be, but nonetheless it is the greatest ruling document the world has ever known. Those who today would seek to change or "interpret" this document into something that is was not meant to be are nothing short, in my opinion, of traitors. Power-hungry, arrogant, elitists who think that they are somehow going to "improve" this document are misguided, at best. Those who were members of that first Continental Congress were men of tremendous integrity and honor who sacrificed to give the people of this nation the freedom that so many were yearning for...The time has come, yet again, for someone or some group of people to rise up and defend this great document and give us back this freedom...
Our Founding Fathers never intended for the judicial branch of our government to "take" as much power as they have delegated themselves. The checks and balances of our nation have become skewed. We must somehow return to the "original intent" of our forefathers. Those men of old knew there was a power greater than themselves who gave them this freedom. The last phrase of the aforementioned oath even invokes the Creators help. Yet none of those elected officials dare mention a dependency on that faith for fear that they would lose all credibility as an intelligent being. The hallowed halls of our Supreme Court even acknowledge this higher power, but this power better be left at the door when consulting the "great minds" for decisions.
Today our President nominated federal Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor to be the next Supreme Court Justice of the United States. The press, as well as others, immediately praised the President and wondered if the GOP would put up a fight against the "Hispanic female" with a "great life story"...Her past decisions and whether or not she would protect the "original intent" were never mentioned. President Obama praised resigning Justice Souter as a "fair-minded and independent judge" and said he would nominate a replacement who both respects the Constitution and brings "empathy" and "understanding" to the bench. Obama did say he wanted a justice who "respects the Constitution"...This is the only one of these qualities that means anything to me, when nominating a justice...Obama has also stated that he wanted a justice who would be "power for the powerless"...While this is a nice quality, it has nothing to do with upholding the constitution...
May our elected officials who are "endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights" make the right decision with this nomination...God help us to get back to the Founding Fathers "original intent"...Then, and only then, will freedom truly be ours again...
