An Open Letter to Barack Obama

By Sam

Mr. Obama,

Recently you made the arrogant and absurd claim that small town Americans are “bitter,” and that they “cling to guns or religion… as a way to explain their frustrations.” All you succeeded in proving is that you don’t understand God, and you don’t understand freedom. So allow me to enlighten you, Mr. Obama.

Regardless of what you’ve picked up from the theologically confused Reverend Wright, God isn’t just for when you’re frustrated or pissed off. He is for… everything. You see, when you truly have a relationship with God, He is always with you. When you are happy, He is there. Praise Him, give Him the glory He deserves! When you are sad, He is there. Cry out to Him, ask for the comfort only He can give. When you have sinned, He is there. Fall to your knees and beg for His forgiveness. When you are lost, He is there. Look for His guidance. When you succeed, He is there. Do not forget that He is God and you are not.

As for our guns, we keep them close not because we are frustrated, but because we love liberty. We know that disarmed peoples soon become the slaves of their governments. I don’t claim to know your intentions, Mr. Obama. Maybe you’re a tyrant in waiting, seeking to charm the masses into giving you unlimited power. Or maybe you’re just an utopian, incompetent fool. Either way, we don’t trust any government with absolute power, especially not one run by you. And any government that succeeds in disarming its citizens has gained absolute power. That will only happen over our dead bodies, Mr. Obama.
