Does Obama Scare You?

(Updated)

I am revising an old quote instead of FDR’s original, “The only thing we have to fear is fear it’self – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified, terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” I am changing it to:

The only thing we have to fear is is death, not only our death but the death of a great Republic.

A death orchestrated and controlled by a messianic anti-American President and a sycophantic Congress. A voting public that is bedazzled by false rhetoric and dumbed down by a liberal education system and a biased media. A populace the majority of which has been spoiled since birth to take rather than give.

Lou Prichett, a former VP of Proctor & Gamble wrote an open letter to the NYT, but as is normally the case the gray lady chose not to publish such an intelligent dissenting view. This is that letter:

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t understand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America ‘ crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against certain banks and corporations

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Reillys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Lou Pritchett

I have assembled a few quotes for you to ponder:

Fear is, I believe, a most effective tool in destroying the soul of an individual – and the soul of a people. (Anwar el-Sadat)

He who takes a stand is often wrong, but he who fails to take a stand is always wrong.

The brave don’t live forever, but the cautious don’t live at all. (Timothy Luce)

The best way out is always through. (Robert Frost)

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. (Ambrose Redmoon)
