Stand up for the Lord’s standards

My motto for a long while is “Too blessed to complain,” but when I read Robert Cribb's Aug. 7 letter (“Obama at war with Christians in military”), I'm breaking my silence. ... If Cribbs' report is correct (and I'm very certain it is), President Barack Obama has put “the straw on the back of the camel,” to literally destroy America. His poor judgment of four years certainly took the desire of many to draw a government check and not work for it. Now he puts no effort into the remedies he created, and last of all, to launch a military war against Christians.
The Constitution is continually being put down or forsaken. How about his relationship and his people to God? It's time Republicans get some starch in their spine and be not afraid to stand up for the Lord's standards and at the same time ministers, pastors, priests awaken sleepy congregations to what is going on.
Don't you, Obama, realize how America was first incorporated in Godly virtue? How can we who have been so blessed in America, come to such an awful state?
I never thought I would see a man come to office who virtually wants to squelch America and its virtues. I'm elderly but utter millions in America if he continues will truly suffer because they didn't defend the very principles our country was built upon - integrity, hard work and discipline.
