I woke up this morning thinking about the hate for our president and wondering why this is voiced by the so-called "Christian Right" and how to my way of thinking, everything I know of Christ would lean more to the left.

Much of the hate I see is aimed at our President, whom we should, as Americans respect, even if we didn’t vote for him or don’t  agree with his policies.  When he was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize, we as Americans should have been so proud and yet folks were angered and said he didn't deserve it.  When Osoma Bin Laden was killed, what should have been considered an American victory became outrage and my Facebook newsfeed was filled with angry conservatives claiming that that Obama deserved no credit for this, that it was the Navy Seals who got him.  From President Obama's Inauguration Celebration forward, his Republican majority congress vowed to make him a one term president and have voted against every thing he has proposed, even things they were for during the Republican Administration.  They put their goal of making one man fail above what is good for our nation and have caused their fellow countrymen to suffer for their own party goals.  I'd say that is a whole heap of hate, and this is just the surface.  I've seen pictures of black male mannequins made to resemble our president being both hung in effigy which looks so reminiscent to the KKK lynching’s of the past, and one being beheaded at a Tea Party gathering.  I've seen the "Don't Re-Nig" bumper stickers.  There's the whole "birther" thing, and the rumor that our president is actually a Muslim, even though during his campaign there were complaints about his church leader, Reverend Wright.  It is hateful and shameful the way some people love to hate a good man, and I can't help but think that there is some racism there.  In my opinion, the Tea Party is based purely on hate and has set our country back at least 50 years, yet these same people claim to be all for Christian values.  Maybe some people need to ask themselves “Who Would Jesus Hate?”
