Fake Conservative

LIAR!! I'm a big fat liar. And I didn't even know it. 'Til I asked myself a question and gave myself a really good look in the mirror. You heard this if you watch Glenn Beck or Hannity. You heard about the hand outs given to low income families. How they were all lined up and excited about getting $ from Obama. It went something like this:

Reporter: So, why are you here?
Some Lady: To get some money.
Reporter: From where?
Some Lady: From Obama.
Reporter: And where did he get it?
Some lady: I don't know. From his stash. From the Obama stash. That's why
we voted for him!!

I was extremely irritated at that. I was so ticked off, that someone would show up some place taking the $ I worked hard for. That Obama would take it from me and give it to a loser who didn't work for it. A lazy good-for-nothin' bum!! I was ranting and raving on the inside.

Oopsie!! Then I was like. "Kim!! You little hypocrite!! You liar!! Look at yourself."
When Obama got into office I was like, "Ok, well. Maybe I can work this to my benefit and just take what he hands out. Maybe we can refinance the house and get a good deal. Maybe he'll give us $." HA!! HYPOCRITE!!

After all, we bought our house as a major fixer upper in Southern California for $245,000. Maybe he can help out with this. We did what was right. We didn't buy what we couldn't afford. Every year we fix something else on our house. Last year we painted and stained. Year before that we replaced decks. This year we may have to do some plumbing and get our laundry situation fixed. So, I myself was looking for a hand out. We work hard and don't have much. So?

I look back on why my thinking was in that direction. Why I thought it was ok to be taking whatever Obama hands out. Now, I know that I SAID I was a Conservative, but I really wasn't. My mind needed to have a great big turn around!!

A lot of things have changed for me this year: I have a returning soldier husband, kids growing up, and especially repenting and changing my mind on what being a conservative actually means. I was very wishy-washy in my thinking. Spiritually, I was such a dork. Still am, I guess. My mind was all over the place. I was of the wall. I was definitely a liberal. A progressive, liberal, numb-skull. I wasn't benefiting anyone but me and what made me feel good. I went after the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and especially, the pride of life. My kids suffered for my ridiculous thinking and neglect. Well, NO MORE!! I'm done with it all. I'm much more sober in my thinking and, others benefit for it.

I believe the Tea Party movements go deeper than protests, too. They go deep into the soul. Many of us have reevaluated our lives, our thoughts and minds, and have actually become more conservative, because we have CHANGED OUR MINDS. We think it's stupid to take hands outs. We can do it ourselves. We do not need any $ form "Obama's stash" to help us out. We can get off our butts (which seem to be spreading the more we sit), and work hard to love our children and show them the ways that are good and right. It's good for our kids to see us work.

I'm the momma. The leader. It's me. I teach them what the LORD has to say about EVERYTHING!! That is the role of parents. Our God-given role. It's not the school's responsibility to raise up our children in the way they should go. It's mine. MINE!! All mine.

We scrape the bottom of the barrel, so I can stay home and be the parent at home. We don't have a fancy car. We absolutely don't have a fancy house. I don't have fancy clothes. By the way, I need some jeans, so I'll be hitting the thrift store for those ... two pay checks from now. We have other bills to pay first. I make left overs out of left overs. We live on hot dogs, ground beef, and maybe a chicken. I plant a garden. I learn how to bake bread, sew clothes, and mend tares. My kids have really cool jeans. Those patches are really neat!!

So, if, like me, you're a liar, then maybe you ought to repent, change your mind, and be free of Obama's stash. We don't need any of his stuff. We can make it on our own. My grandmother did. Grandpa died when my mom, the oldest of 3 was just 4 years old. She got by just fine. So, let me pick myself up, and you too, and let's not accept hand outs. Lets do it ourselves and be true Conservative capitalists. Your kids my have the coolest clothes in town, too, because they have some really cool tattered patches on their jeans. Or the best bed spread made from old clothes, or the best mom who stays home and reads them books, and teaches them the Words of the LORD.

I don't need anyone but God, my husband, and my church to get done the things I need to get done. And I don't need a government hand out. Maybe I need a HAND once in a while, but not a HAND-OUT. Lincoln says, "It's wrong for me to do for someone what the CAN and SHOULD do for themselves." I say that, and I'll say that 'til I die. Since Obama loves Lincoln so much, maybe Obama should start saying and believing the same thing.

God bless Obama. God bless America! Now stand up and do what's right. Get off your spreading butts and build something, make something, invent something, practice something, paint something, and most of all, love someone!!

AMEN and AMEN!!
