TANGLED

I really want to like our Prez. I went through 4 dreadful years with Jimmy Carter at the helm. Eight, yep, eight more of Clinton. I personally saw the lack of respect for him and the US in several different countries back then.

And I'm afraid it's worse than the combined Carter/ Clinton years. I struggle because I know that we are supposed to support and accept whom God has placed in charge. While followers of Jesus and children of God are called saints, I'm afraid that I'm merely a pre-pubiescent in some of my thoughts and feelings which I'll share.

For instance, in the Quran, Buraq is the name of the Prophet Mohammed's supernatural horse. Now Buraq and Barack are mighty close if not identical. Even the Quran has several different spellings. Now before you start thinking me Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity, I'd prefer you think me more like Bill O'Reilly, I'll go no farther than to point out the similarity. I'll also reveal my source, since that seems to be so essential to the NBC people and CNN. My source for Buraq is none other than noted liberal author John Updike in his novel The Terrorist.

It could merely be coincidental or just the bad choice by a parent. Like one of Updike's characters from that novel who had the name Tylenol. Actually, I'm much more concerned with his policies than his name.

This entry was the result of his UN speech where he was leveling the US with other countries. I happen to know that we live in the best country. I don't want equality with the rest of the world. I want what our country has always represented and fought hard to earn--superiority.

Got that Buraq? (Oh, now I've done it: I'm not even a pre-pube.)
