With so much going on in the country right now, the debate on Health Care, an act of domestic Terrorism at Fort Hood, Texas, and 10.2% unemployment rate thanks to President Obama’s incompetent economic policies, I feel the need to write about something utterly different in the blogesphere.
J. Randy Forbes came to my attention in the spring when he made an impassioned speech on the House floor in response to President Barack Obama’s assertion that the United States is no longer a Christian nation. I’ve been watching him ever since and I can’t help being impressed with this man.
He’s not only a man of faith, he’s a patriot that oozes Ronald Reagan every time I watch a video of him. In my opinion, J Randy Forbes is everything that Barack Obama is not. Or more plainly, he’s the Anti-Obama that offers a clear choice of Conservatism over Big Government Liberalism.
Nobody heard of Barack Obama prior to 2004 and now he is president. Congressman Forbes may not have the name recognition of a Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney. And I don’t even know if he even seeks the presidency. But, I see great potential in him.
