Default Dear Friends

Dear Friends,

I wanted to write and tell you about an experience that I had in
Maryland on Highway Route 40 today. I had been to visit my parents in
Delaware and was driving home to Arlington. Often I avoid the heavy
traffic on I-95 and take Route 40 to Baltimore. I was stopped at a
traffic light, about to turn right to jog over to join 95 and take the
tunnel under the harbor, when a dark sedan pulled up alongside me,
beeped, and the driver motioned for me to roll down my window. It was
not an isolated place and in broad daylight with lots of other cars
around. I thought the person wanted to ask directions or something so I
put down the window. The driver was a normal-looking young white man,
maybe 35 or so, with short sandy hair. He leaned forward from his open
window and said to me “Did you vote for Obama?”

I should say here that I have two bumper stickers on my back
fender. One says “Peace is Patriotic.” The other is a round circle that
says Obama-Biden. I answered "I sure did." Then he got loud and excited
in a sneering sort of way and asked something like, "Are you happy now
with the way things are going?" I thought “uh-oh” but I answered again,
"I sure am." Then the guy went off his rocker and started verbally
accosting me saying something like, "I hope to God someone shoots you
dead, you liberal Pig..." Sophie started barking and I said "Oh that’s
nice" as I rolled up my window. He lurched forward, cutting me off in
the lane and beeping his horn and I made my right turn, glad to get away
from him.

I had time to think about this during the rest of the drive home.
I could not find anger in my heart toward this person, but rather a deep
sadness took over me. Is this what our country is coming to? I’ll bet
this person thinks he is a Christian. I thought about how oppression,
violence and intolerance have characterized human history, and it makes
me sad that we have made so little progress. I feel that our Country is
in deep trouble, threatened by people who claim they want to “Take our
Country Back” – from whom? Take it back where? What Constitution are
they reading? What Bible are they reading?

I am thinking of Nazi Germany before World War II when ordinary
German citizens felt vaguely uncomfortable about what was going on but
did not speak up because it did not impact them directly, and then
afterward because they were afraid. It is a wake-up call to
Progressives, Liberals, Moderates, and Independents who do believe in
the values that this country was founded upon, among them freedom from
persecution because of your beliefs and because of your religion. If we
want our streets to be safe to drive on, we need to find a way to defuse
these people without being wimps and just giving in. We cannot let these
people take over our Government!

Please, if you are not paying attention to your local elections
this fall, now is the time to get involved. If you voted for Obama and
are now disappointed because he is not Left enough, think what it will
be like when they try to undo what he has managed to accomplish. If you
voted for Obama and are now disappointed because he is too Liberal for
you, do you really want to go back to the Wild West days when people
wore guns in holsters on their hip? Do you approve of people trying to
threaten and intimidate others just because they voted for a Black man
for President? Did you all really think that we could turn around 8
years of war and decline in just 18 months? Do you really want to hand
over the reins of government to the people who drove us into the ditch
and who have stubbornly refused to be part of any solution to pull us
out? These people would rather see Obama fail, and the middle class
suffer, and the country pulled apart by strife and conflict than do
anything to make things better. This is not putting country first. Don’t
let this kind of cynicism succeed!

Please folks, don’t sit this one out. If we fail to participate,
and the other side wins for lack of enthusiasm on our part, then truly
Fear will triumph over Hope. We just can’t let that happen! Don’t let
the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Thanks for reading, and feel free to pass this on.

Still a Hope Monger,
Maureen

Polarization is increasing as Americans working at good paying jobs or
at all spiral downward.
It didn't start with Obama. it didn't start just at the White House.
Our Republic our very liberty and our American Dream is being taken away
from us by the Globalists.
They are seeking parity or depress Americans income to the same common
denominator level of the third world that did not and cannot produce
without the continuing raid on Americans' prosperity.
To the Traitors that champion the control of world and destroying what
was America please leave.
Between the Global Federalist Merchants and Bankers or the Global
Economic and Governing Elites, Socialists/Communists, and the Islamic
Terrorists we are fed up.
If your ox isn't gored yet or you are doing the goring how does it feel
to watch your efforts turn all of America into a Detroit so you can
enjoy your fortressed estates etc. If this treason continues, for long
we will resemble Rio as far as the divide. Most Americans will be glad
to take whatever the Global Banking and Merchant Feudal Lords throw to
them.
When will our Elected Officials get a clue and represent Americans? All
the wealth and power promised by the Globalists won't do them much good
when they are universally despised and ostracized.

sadness took over me. Is this what our country is coming to? I�ll bet
this person thinks he is a Christian. I thought about how oppression,
violence and intolerance have characterized human history, and it makes
me sad that we have made so little progress. I feel that our Country is
in deep trouble, threatened by people who claim they want to �Take our
Country Back� � from whom? Take it back where? What Constitution are
they reading? What Bible are they reading?

I am thinking of Nazi Germany before World War II when ordinary German
citizens felt vaguely uncomfortable about what was going on but did not
speak up because it did not impact them directly, and then afterward
because they were afraid. It is a wake-up call to Progressives,
Liberals, Moderates, and Independents who do believe in the values that
this country was founded upon, among them freedom from persecution
because of your beliefs and because of your religion. If we want our
streets to be safe to drive on, we need to find a way to defuse these
people without being wimps and just giving in. We cannot let these
people take over our Government!

Please, if you are not paying attention to your local elections this
fall, now is the time to get involved. If you voted for Obama and are
now disappointed because he is not Left enough, think what it will be
like when they try to undo what he has managed to accomplish. If you
voted for Obama and are now disappointed because he is too Liberal for
you, do you really want to go back to the Wild West days when people
wore guns in holsters on their hip? Do you approve of people trying to
threaten and intimidate others just because they voted for a Black man
for President? Did you all really think that we could turn around 8
years of war and decline in just 18 months? Do you really want to hand
over the reins of government to the people who drove us into the ditch
and who have stubbornly refused to be part of any solution to pull us
out? These people would rather see Obama fail, and the middle class
suffer, and the country pulled apart by strife and conflict than do
anything to make things better. This is not putting country first. Don�t
let this kind of cynicism succeed!

Please folks, don�t sit this one out. If we fail to participate, and the
other side wins for lack of enthusiasm on our part, then truly Fear will
triumph over Hope. We just can�t let that happen! Don�t let the perfect
be the enemy of the good.

Thanks for reading, and feel free to pass this on.

Still a Hope Monger,
Maureen

Polarization is increasing as Americans working at good paying jobs or at
all spiral downward.
It didn't start with Obama. it didn't start just at the White House.
Our Republic our very liberty and our American Dream is being taken away
from us by the Globalists.
They are seeking parity or depress Americans income to the same common
denominator level of the third world that did not and cannot produce
without the continuing raid on Americans' prosperity.
To the Traitors that champion the control of world and destroying what was
America please leave.
Between the Global Federalist Merchants and Bankers or the Global
Economic and Governing Elites, Socialists/Communists, and the Islamic
Terrorists we are fed up.
If your ox isn't gored yet or you are doing the goring how does it feel to
watch your efforts turn all of America into a Detroit so you can enjoy
your fortressed estates etc. If this treason continues, for long we will
resemble Rio as far as the divide. Most Americans will be glad to take
whatever the Global Banking and Merchant Feudal Lords throw to them.
When will our Elected Officials get a clue and represent Americans? All
the wealth and power promised by the Globalists won't do them much good
when they are universally despised and ostracized.


Sounds like isolationism to me, which previously directly led to WW2.

Dear Friends,

I wanted to write and tell you about an experience that I had in
Maryland on Highway Route 40 today. I had been to visit my parents in
Delaware and was driving home to Arlington. Often I avoid the heavy
traffic on I-95 and take Route 40 to Baltimore. I was stopped at a
traffic light, about to turn right to jog over to join 95 and take the
tunnel under the harbor, when a dark sedan pulled up alongside me,
beeped, and the driver motioned for me to roll down my window. It was
not an isolated place and in broad daylight with lots of other cars
around. I thought the person wanted to ask directions or something so I
put down the window. The driver was a normal-looking young white man,
maybe 35 or so, with short sandy hair. He leaned forward from his open
window and said to me ᅵDid you vote for Obama?ᅵ

I should say here that I have two bumper stickers on my back fender. One
says ᅵPeace is Patriotic.ᅵ The other is a round circle that says
Obama-Biden. I answered "I sure did." Then he got loud and excited in a
sneering sort of way and asked something like, "Are you happy now with
the way things are going?" I thought ᅵuh-ohᅵ but I answered
again, "I
sure am." Then the guy went off his rocker and started verbally
accosting me saying something like, "I hope to God someone shoots you
dead, you liberal Pig..." Sophie started barking and I said "Oh thatᅵs
nice" as I rolled up my window. He lurched forward, cutting me off in
the lane and beeping his horn and I made my right turn, glad to get away
from him.

Isolationism is a bogus term much misuse like the term racist is to
silence opposition.
Self preservation of our home, the Republic and our neighbors American
Citizens and building a future American Dream for our Children is the
correct terminology.
In case you haven't figured it out the rest of the world does not give a
damn about American and our Republic and our future. They want our
wealth. And the Globalists are taking it and giving them a share.
I don't give one whit about the rest of the world until America is sound
again. Then maybe I care.
Where do you want to start? Think about it. Think about America and
Americans. The rest of the world isn't going to come to lift Americans
up. They are sucking us dry. I don't want our society, neighborhoods,
and future reduce to parity with sub Saharan Africa or any other part of
the third world.
