There is no cure for those who will not see

There is all this fear that "Obama is going to invade Texas."  What would he do with it if he invades? I think the people who suggested that Obama's real posture towards Texas is that he would give it back to Mexico if they would take it.

There is all this fear that Christian ministers will HAVE TO marry gay couples. Who is the one who started that rumor?  Ministers in all the denominations I know have never had to marry anybody.  The ministers ask for pre-marital counseling and frequently they tell the couple that the couple should not get married.  All these governors who are signing laws that exempt ministers from doing gay marriages are showboating for their political base.

There is a fear that Obama is coming for your guns and your Bible.  There has never been any suggesting, except for Karl Rove, that all guns should be removed from the country. We just want better limit on who can have them, how many you can have, and how many bullets they can shoot at one time.  No one needs assault weapons as a hunting rifle nor home invasion protection, And why should Obama or anybody come and take away your Bible. The Gideons will give anybody one free.

The great sadness for me is that all of these fears are being flamed because some group or some person sees a way to benefit from the fears.  The media that continues to report these things and the talking heads that encourage these fears do so for their own profit.
