Don’t Be A Dittohead

To the Editor:
Recently, I’ve heard disparaging remarks about President Obama – actually, far-out hate remarks. These similar remarks come from family members, friends, acquaintances, co-workers and neighbors. It so happens that those mentioned are all of a political group ad all listen to a certain cable network on a basis. I’m sure you don’t have to rack your brain to determine which group and which station. I must say these people are of narrow information; I refer to them as “Ditto heads.” The strange problem is that all of these claim to he Christians. Are Christians supposed to hate? I don’t think so.
Let’s consider some facts. In 2009, when this man began his presidency, here’s what was left to him: two ongoing wars, an economy in disaster, job losses of 70,000 per month, an opposition party determined to bury him, and active terrorist groups led by Osama bin Laden. Regardless of what this man did or has done or will do, the aforementioned people will continue to hate and defy him. Why? Can I get a reasonable and rational answer to this question? Otherwise I must consider such people to be irrational aid totally unfair, to say the least. You know who you are; therefore, reach back into your Christian background and bring up the part that says, ‘Do unto others.’ The Savior left no room for hate in our lexicon.
So take another look and don’t be a dittohead. Have respect for the office if you can’t respect the man. Our country is divided and, of course, sick also. Webster defines sick as: unwholesome or in poor health. It’s in our nature to blame, but must we hate? I suggest you folks – and you know who you are – go back and look up the word ‘honesty.’ To use your words, God bless.
