I rarely write political posts because as a life coach I don’t really think it’s my job to do so. I used to be very political in my youth, but I grew disillusioned with politicians who I saw as becoming increasingly hypocritical and self-serving.
Since moving to the US my waning interest has been almost extinguished by the constant negative campaigning of candidates in every election I have witnessed from local issues through to the chase for the Whitehouse that is now underway. I did watch some of the reporting on the recent voting in Iowa and was interested to see Barack Obama do so well.
Then today I got an e-mail about Barack Obama and it sickened me to the stomach. Apparently, not only is he black, something I certainly hadn’t noticed and something he’s kept very quiet about if you ask me, but he has a Muslim background too!!! OMG no! Can it really be true?
If it is true, then this is the thin end of the wedge people. Before you know it women will be demanding the vote, do-gooders pushing for the abolition of slavery and criminals will expect habeas corpus. I even see a day when the US will allow people from other countries to settle in this great country, people like me! Yikes, how did that happen? See I told you! It’s already started.
Obviously the campaign to kill off the evil Obama’s run is underway and not before time too because I bet he eats cute puppy dogs and wears womens underwear too you know. I can just tell by looking at the horns on his head, that 666 tattooed on his forehead and the way he keeps dropping down to pray to Mecca every 15 minutes. Ok, I haven’t actually seen any of those things but I haven’t seen common sense either, but I hear it exists somewhere or other.
We don’t need a country that offers hope to minorities we need to keep it for ourselves and if that means battening down the hatches, closing the borders and running round like headless chickens panicking about attack from within then so be it, that’s good enough for me.
In the meantime, I think I’ll tell my Muslim brother-in-law that he’s not welcome here and hope nobody notices my silly accent and penchant for watching cricket and saying cor blimey guv’nor.
