This letter deserves circulation. There are millions who
feel the same way. Interesting and perhaps indisputable points. For some
reason, liberals really detest this letter, and they see hate in the words rather
than facts and opinions. Keep it moving till the election. Send to everyone and
hope that all will at least read some of it.
Dear Mr. Obama:
It is August 30, 2008. My name is Mark Gregg. I am a 50
something, conservative white male. I have followed your campaign closely,
including the speeches you and others made at the democratic national convention.
I am respectfully providing you with seven simple reasons why I could never
vote for you. I believe that many people share my opinion. I do think that there
needs to be an awakening to the fact that you are not a (the) messiah that
the media and liberal Hollywood entertainers are trying to portray you as.
1. I hear your mantra of change, change, and change. Yet,
you picked a long term, liberal, Washington insider (Joe Biden) to be your
running mate. This is NOT change. It is a move that hypocritically refutes the
very thing you supposedly stand for. Your campaign then slammed John McCain for
picking Sarah Palin, because she is NOT a Washington insider. She is a
maverick who cleaned-up Alaska's quagmire of political scandals. Which way is it,
Barack? Is it okay for you to pick a 30-year Washington insider under the mantra
of 'change,' but not okay for John McCain to pick a smart, aggressive,
reformer?
2. You have the single most liberal voting record in the
senate. This indicates to me and others like me that you may very well be an
angry black man seeking to punish our country for sins of a different
generation. I am not racist. I have some biases just like you and every other human
alive. Unlike the democratic party who claims to be for the minority (but their
record heavily refutes this), I will give any person who truly needs help,
help. I married a 'minority' girl 35 years ago (she is Hispanic) and have seen the
evils of prejudice first hand. However, I have also seen my wife, children
and others in her family throw off the veil of self-imposed prejudicial bondage
and move ahead. They love our country and do not view themselves any different
than I view myself as a citizen of this country. Your lovely wife so
disappointed people like me during this campaign when she stated it was the first time
she had ever been proud of this country. She apparently never noticed the
massive aid we give dozens of other countries. She apparently never noticed the
sacrifice of literally millions of veterans who helped make this country a free
nation and helped liberate other nations from brutal dictators such as Adolf
Hitler. She apparently does not remember that she attended an Ivy League
university with scholarship money that ultimately (at least some of it) was paid
for by our taxes. This troubles me more than you know. She is an angry black
woman who appears to not like her country very much. I don't want her
representing me to the rest of the world.
3. You claim Christianity but apparently haven't realized
that the Bible teaches that he, who does not work, does not eat. The Bible
does not say or even suggest that he, who CANNOT work, should not eat. Yet, your
liberal policies reward people who are capable of working but choose not to
do so. This bothers me. I know that if you are elected our taxes will spiral
upwards. You should heed the words of Winston Churchill: 'We contend that for a
nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket
and trying to lift himself up by the handle.' If I like anything about you,
it is your campaign promise to balance the federal budget. Unfortunately, we
have heard this many times from different politicians and we realize that when
you energize the liberals, Nancy Pelosi, Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, etc., etc.,
and the many other democrats like them, a balanced budge t will never, ever
happen on your watch.
4. During your question and answer session with Rick
Warren of Saddleback Church your answer concerning the question of where does life
begin, stunned me: 'Above your pay grade?' Does this mean when something bad
happens as President of this nation that you are going to look at your salary
to determine if you can respond? Is that what all the 'present' votes in
Chicago stood for 'above your pay grade' and why you would not take a stand on the
issues at hand? I am sorry, but this was the most serious gaffe I have seen
you make. Frankly, it shows me that you are pandering in the most obvious
manner. You will choose your words not from your heart, but from an agenda that I
believe you hide from the American people.
5. If anything stands out about you it is probably your
appeasement mentality. In this era of rampant, radical Islamic extremism and
with the latest stunt pulled by the reenergized Russian government, I am not
sure appeasement is healthy. Do you remember Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain
in the 1930's prior to WW II? I again revert to the words of Winston
Churchill: 'An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.'
6. You and your party tacitly believe that a 13 or 14
year old girl must have the parents' approval to have the school nurse provide
them with a Tylenol when they have a headache at school. Yet, this same girl can
become pregnant and the school can skirt her off to a clinic and abort the
child in her body without the parents knowing or being notified. This scares the
hell out of me. You have two little girls. Would you be upset if this
happened to them and you were not informed? Then why do you stand for this? It makes
no sense to me.
7. My seventh and final point is your supporters. I have
watched the Hollywood entertainers that support you, systematically embrace
Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Iranian Dictator Ahmadenijad and others like them. I
see the continuous smut and garbage produced by Hollywood that damns America
constantly, and the very people who promote you most vigorously. It is not a
positive point to me and others like me to see these overpaid, bizarre, poor
examples of human existence fawn over you and push you and your liberal agenda as
hard as they do. The way that I see it; when the devil is for you, we should
question whether or not we should be against you.
In closing, I just want you to know that you scare me. I
cannot vote for you. It is not because of your skin color. It is because these
items and many others like them. Do not claim that my dislike for you is race
based. It is because I do n ot feel you have the best interests of this
nation and its people at heart.
Respectfully, Mark A. Gregg
