We the people...shouldn't give advice to the new prez?

From Vicki:

After participating in a Veteran's Day Scrabble tournament in North Carolina this past weekend, I realized I hadn't written for the blog in a week! Yesterday was Veteran's Day. I thought about my Uncle C.J., a young 17-year-old, newly-enlisted United States Marine whose first overseas trip was to Guadalcanal at the beginning of WWII. He went up through the ranks, becoming a sergeant and a leader, but he was still my grandmother's little boy, her firstborn, even after he retired 23 years later.

All of somebody's little boys and girls are doing the most important work for the United States of America: they are protecting our precious freedom. They've been doing it for many, many years. God has given them the courage and principles to understand just how special their work is. Thank you to our veterans and our current and retired service personnel for protecting we the people. And another thanks to Senator John McCain for his service to our country. He is a constant reminder of someone who understands our freedoms and doesn't take them for granted. We should pray and give thanks to God for all of them, all the time.

This morning, instead of to the buzz of an alarm, I awoke to a voice coming from my radio: the local talk radio mavin, Hallorin Hilton Hill, had written a letter to the president-elect of the United States and wanted listeners' opinions. He congratulated the president-elect and said many positive things, in addition to reminding him that he has the weight of many, many expectations on his shoulders. It was positive reinforcement with a few suggestions. After hearing it a couple of times, that was my take. He read it on air, then took calls asking if the listeners would send it or shred it.

The letter was respectful and honest, yet this talk show host received calls from listeners who questioned why he felt it was his responsibility to tell the incoming president how to do his job! They didn't listen to the congratulatory part or any substance of the letter; they simply responded to the notion of the letter.

My question: since when has our president, elected by we the people, become so elevated in his position that he is beyond listening to we the people? Wasn't he elected to serve this country to the best of his ability, based on our well-written, time-tested United States Constitution? This is absolutely amazing! Too many people out there (minus about 55 million) believe this president-elect is absolutely beyond reproach in his perfection. And that was part of Hallorin's letter--high expectations. Certainly we need to pray for our president and leaders of our great country, and remind them we're out here.

When/if the day comes when our President of the United States of America fails to remember who elected him, who protects him and the rest of us, and why we are a democratic republic, then God bless and help him. That's when we the people need to quickly pick up our metaphorical torches and pitchforks and take back our union! We should always be on alert for this.

Don't forget: the president has been elected by us, and God gave us an important job as the most free country on this earth. Our founding fathers followed the call of God and wrote a document for a Christian nation. We should always remember and be thankful for this. I've just added a link (left side of the screen) to the United States Constitution. This is a very good web site for reading portions of and the entire Constitution. There's even a child-friendly link.

God Bless America!
