During the campaign Barack Obama called people in Pennsylvania bitter people clinging to their guns and religion. The fact is not all religious gun clingers live in Pennsylvania and our country would not be what it is without us.
Our nation was born because people did want to be persecuted because of their religion. These people became tired of living in tyrany so they rebelled against the King of England. It was religious gun clingers who fought for our freedom and gave birth to this nation. Each one of the founding fathers were believers in God and had a strong relgious conviction. Using the Judeo-Christian belief system to frame our government and our rights as citizens.
Every war our country has been in was to defend peoples rights to live in freedom. Each one was fought by religious gun clingers who, without their sense of patriotism and doing what s right based on these values, could not have defended the freedom we have today.
The minorities in this country have the right to protest what they think is wrong. They have the rights they have just like the rest of us and live without the fear of persecution because of gun clinging religious people. No were in the world could they do what they do here being a minority. Most places the minorities are persecuted. Here we protect them and treat them as equals. The gays fighting for their right to marry would not have that right if it wasn't for religious gun clingers fighting for the rights of all. But yet the gays protest against them and even damage their property or attack them physically becasue of their religious beliefs. Barack Obama would have never had the right to say what he said in Pennsylvania and even have the ability to become the first black president of the United States if it wasn't for the religious gun clingers.
Now in all the examples I have listed above one would think I was just talking about military people. But while we owe a great deal to those fine patriots who have served their country in this fashion, religious gun clingers are not just military or veterans. Religious gun clingers are the people who make core of this country. They are the construction worker, the auto worker, the farmer, the average American who has the moral compass, the resolve and mindset to do and know what is right. They are not the rich elite or so called intellectuals like Obama or Bill Ayers, but just the "Joe the Plumber" type. Religious gun clingers know were their rights came from. They know each freedom we have is a gift from God. Not from some politician or judge who govern and pass judgment based on their own ideals and opinions. But rather from a strong undeniable force that has created us all equal in His eyes. So when Obama says we are bitter, he is out of touch. We are not bitter, we just want what is right for us and our country. Not what he thinks is right or fair. Because we are strong in our convictions and do not waiver. He also may do well to know that if need be, all of us religious gun clingers will stand up and use them if need be to defend our country and the way of life that our constitution grants us. Not the life he or the rest of government thinks we should lead. So in essence being religious and clinging to our guns is not a bad thing. Actually it puts me in good company. Thats why I am proud to be a religious gun clinger and will stand strong to defend my freedoms will you?
