Shell Shocked

I've been living and working in a fog since Black Sunday. I haven't even wanted to write a post because I couldn't find a way to describe my feelings.

This morning I stumbled across an article in American Thinker by Robin of Berkeley that puts into words how I feel and pretty much describes why I'm feeling this way:

"That's what it is:  stunned, shell shocked, traumatized."

Many years ago, it now seems like a life-time, I was married to a man who beat me. Whenever things did not go his way; I became his personal punching bag. After a severe beating I would walk around for days feeling stunned, abandoned, alone, confused, and traumatized. I feel that way now.

Robin of Berkeley was mugged. She also draws a comparison to being mugged to the passage of Obamacare:

When I see what Obama is doing to this country, how he is treating its citizens, I'm reminded of the man who mugged me.  I think that both are constitutionally incapable of seeing our humanity.  And each day that Obama is in office, he communicates this same deadly message to the masses -- that opponents are not human.

This would explain the burgeoning of hate and even violence towards those who deign to disagree.   And why Tea Party members and conservatives are being targeted, as well as entire countries like Israel. 

And this would illuminate why Obama is unfazed while the economy crashes.  And why he cavalierly demonizes Israel, putting millions of Israelis at risk.  And it explains why Obama mocks conservatives who are legitimately worried about this administration's violating fundamental rights.  

After years of abuse; I escaped my abuser. I pray heart and soul that we as a nation can escape our abuser in 2012. If he follows the pattern of most abusive individuals, we are in for much worse than we've endured so far.

A Message To President Obama

A Battle is Not a War

Last night Obama's horrible healthcare reform bill passed.

Today we are wounded to the core. We are sore and weary. We are in tears over that which was lost. We are angry and frustrated.

Yes we lost a battle, a big battle. We had fought long and hard, but remember my friends; a battle is not a war.

George Washington lost battle after battle until he crossed the Potomac. Many times it seemed certain that the war for freedom would be lost. He didn't give up, even when his troops deserted and the Continental Congress failed to provide him with supplies. He stayed the course with grim determination. Against all odds, finally, he won our freedom.

We have accomplished much during this last year. We have broken the super majority in the Senate by electing Scott Brown. We caused the healthcare bill deadlines to be moved back again and again. We are a force to reckon with.

Now is the time to regroup, heal our wounds, and march again. There are more battles ahead. We may lose a few, but we will win some too. We, like Washington, will not give up. We will fight onward until we win the biggest prize.

We will win this war and take our country back.

Stupak: the Sanctity of Life is Important to Us, Which is Why We Will Slash Care for Old People and Further Enslave Children to Massive Deficits

This is a good article about the Stupak sell-out on health care. He is up for election. Support his opponent with your voice and checkbook.

Stupak: the Sanctity of Life is Important to Us, Which is Why We Will Slash Care for Old People and Further Enslave Children to Massive Deficits

Today’s the Day

 

Today is the day we have been dreading. Sometime this afternoon or tonight the House will vote on Obama's health care reform bill. We can keep calling and protesting, and we should. But we should also be on our knees praying.

We should be letting the Creator who stood with George Washington and the brave revolutionary soldiers hear our voices. We should call out to Him for aid in once again saving our country and way of life. He is the only one who can lay His hand on the hearts of our legislators and overcome the corruption and group-think of Pelosi and Associates.

I'll be praying a lot today. Won't you join me?

Washington Protest Today

My heartfelt prayers and wishes go out to all the patriots who made it to Washington today to let their voices be heard against the government takeover of our health care system.

While I couldn't go, I am with you all in spirit.
