Warning: This is how I really feel.
The government shut down sort of. This made me mad. Not kind of mad, but as mad as a hornet whose nest had been disturbed. I wasn't mad at the Republicans that the media was trying so hard to convince me were the ones responsible. I was mad at the President and the Senate democrats who would not negotiate. Leaders Negotiate! It is better to get most of what you want if people will benefit and the country will benefit. These people flat refuse to negotiate, that seems wrong. Shutting down open air memorials and National parks is wrong. You can't convince me it costs less to put barriers and park rangers in place. For what purpose, to keep out some older veterans out of their memorial, they fought for it, it is theirs. So I will say what made some people mad. I hate you President Obama, I truly, truly, hate you. Someday my God , will take care of you. You hate this country, you hate people who disagree with you, you hate people like me who see you for the lying snake that you are. I hate people who will not stand up for the benefit of this country they care about protecting you and what you want more then they care about serving their fellow man. My rights as a Christian are being eroded every day for the rights of Muslims extremists, who would not blink if I was exterminated in the street. Muslim Extremists hate me, that is fine, I will not shut up. I am not polite all the time. See I believe that Christian Conservatives like me have been sweet and polite for to long and that is why the country is here it is at. The minority has the power. I was quiet too, didn't want to offend people, well I am done being a good, quiet person, I am angry! Somebody has to be strong enough to say, enough is enough. I am sure that God gave me my strong opinions for a reason. Paul said things that in his day made people mad. I may be childish, but these black and white words don't harm anybody and they are mine. In my opinion, I do this to get my frustration out. Read it or not I simply don't care. There will be people who disagree with me tell me I am a bad Christian, maybe so but I am a Christian, God will forgive me, I am his child with the big loud mouth. I am absolutely sure he will put me to use one day. My true, loyal friends, who read my blog they will understand. They love me for who I am. For you who get it, I love you. For you who this shutdown hurt, I am sorry, you have my full support.

Hi Melissa. I totally get how you feel and understand your frustrations. The one thing that bothers me though is that you are so full of "hate" as you state above. First, let me say -- I do not approve of President Obama. I think he is a very deceitful, dishonest person. I didn't vote for him and I change the channel when he is on TV. But I cannot say I hate him -- because like it or not, he is still God's child and we are not to hate anyone. We can hate their behavior, but to hate the person is wrong. God even told us "love your enemies, pray for them". You are forgetting that he is a lost soul and needs our prayers, So many are lost and we are called to pray for them. God has also raised him up as a leader - He is sovereign and the Bible says that He is the one who raises up leaders. For what purpose I don't know, maybe even to show us how lost the world is without God. We even need to pray for the Muslim extremists -- they are lost too and don't know the peace and love of our God, how sad for them. How sad that they are so delusional that they think what they are doing is going to get them to heaven. They are full of hate - do we want to be like them? Hate never brought anyone to Jesus and never will. I think there has to be a balance -- yes, we can stand up for what we believe to be right, but are we pushing people away from Jesus with how we are acting? Like Jeff Hummell said, do we want to win the argument - or win people to Christ? I don't think you are a bad Christian - we all have our faults and are works in progress. And like I said - I understand your frustrations -- I share them. But we as believers need to be the example of love and forgiveness. I will be praying for you about this. I remember one time when I was really, really angry with someone -- and I started praying for them. God showed me how He saw them and that He loved them. It helped me let go of my anger and hate towards them. I do love you and care about you or else I wouldn't be writing this. I hope you can let go of some of this and just trust that God has this all under control. We can rest in Him even when we don't understand what is going on around us. :)

Melissa You know I love you...But I so agree with Ev. You have missed the point of it all. it isn't about the government, or Obama, work or no work. It's about Jesus and love. We need to pray. not hate or point fingers. Nothing is new under the sun. This has all happened before and will again. We need to keep our eyes on Jesus. Not circumstances....
