Dear Congressman McIntyre,
My wife and I were surprised to hear your name mentioned as being in our service this past Sunday morning at Grace Baptist. We would like to have gotten to say hello and shake your hand. It was a very special service in a number of ways, was it not? Interestingly, I received your email having to do with your vote on the hate crimes bill just the day before. You appear to be a Democrat who looks at the issues and does not go along with the larger block of colleagues if you feel it's not right for our state and country. We applaud you for that. That's probably why Curtis Wright says you will be difficult to unseat in the next election. On a more personal note, we applauded our pastor Sunday for not pulling any punches as to what he believes the Bible says about how to get to heaven. We trust you have personal faith in our Savior and the assurance of salvation.
Blessings, Len and Judy Marcy

Senator Burr: This is an appeal for a negative vote from you on the "Hate Crimes" legislation. I do hope and pray that you are going to vote NO to this bill. To me it is a bill that is not just bad for America but one that is reprehensible in its intent, which is to undermine the moral foundation of our society. The very Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, could be considered hate literature under this proposed bill because the Bible takes a stand against homosexuality and other expressions of deviant moral behavior. Again, I beg of you, PLEASE VOTE NO when asked for your vote. Thank You,

E-MAIL ON 5/4/09 TO McINTYRE,HAGAN,COBLE,JONES
As a retiree and registered Republican voter in the State of N.C., I wish to express my dismay and disgust at the plan the President is considering which will suspend the annual cost of living increase for retirees receiving Social Security benefits. This plan is tantamount to a slap in the face and I hope that you plan to do all in your power to stop this abuse of power. Any government that can rebuild cities and countries in far away places, bail out and subsidize companies and financial institutions with billions of dollars, and give out millions in pork barrel spending, cannot be thinking straight in depriving elderly U.S. citizens of the income they need to exist. Thank you for whatever you can do.
Sincerely,
Len Marcy

ROD DREMER'S GREAT ARTICLE IN STAR NEWS 4-9-09
Talk about hitting the nail on the head, the editorial by Rod Dreher on page 7A in the Wednesday, April 8, 2009 edition does just that. By saying that, I am also declaring myself to be a traditionalist conservative. I believe in a government of, by and for the people. I believe in freedom of speech and the right to bear arms as guaranteed by our Constitution. I believe our nation to be "under God," meaning that the God of the Bible and the Bible itself are to be honored, respected and valued because we as a people need a moral compass. As to the matter of religion in public life, Mr. Dreher quotes: "Liberalism depends on the modernist conviction that neither religion nor tradition nor inherited loyalties has any binding authority on us. Anything that denies equal freedom is to be condemned as oppressive and marginalized, even outlawed". Today we are seeing the damage of "no binding authority." Women marry women, men marry men. What? God will severely judge that behavior. Read the Bible! Fully formed babies are killed so they won't complicate someone's life? The Bible says, "You shall not kill." There is a place for unregenerate murderers and it's not heaven. Our new president isn't helping any as far as we conservatives can see. Obama is declaring himself to be, by his own words and actions, "all things to all peoples." He intimates that whatever God a person may happen to chose to worship and whatever book he or she might deem "holy" is OK with him. I say Heaven help us.

Mail to NC Congresswoman Kay Hagan- Feb. 9, 2009
Dear Congresswoman Hagan: The issue of the stimulus bill is a matter of concern to both me and my wife. We are trying to approach the issue in a bi-partisan manner though we are Conservative Republicans. There are too many items in the bill which are not going to jump-start the economy. We see an attempt by the Democrats to curry the favor of their constituents in order to build on their new political power base. We don't feel they have the best interests of the tax-payer and average American at heart. We know something has to be done by Congress but please let it be done to benefit the country, not special interests and PORK. Sincerely, Leonard Marcy

A DAY TO REMEMBER
February 6 is the day I wish my daughter, Liz, a happy birthday. HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY LIZ! Liz is a pastor's wife and lives in Upstate New York with her husband, Matthew, and their 3 little ones.
This day is also the day to remember a great American (sorry, I don't mean you Sean, even though you may be a great American). Today many in our nation reflect on the life and times of Ron Reagan, truly a great American. In a way I believe that with the passing of Ron Reagan there was another passing. The passing of the "Old America". The Old America where patriotism was held in high respect, when you got chills up your spine watching a military band pass by. A day when the taps being played at a Memorial Day event brought tears to your eyes. A day when it was the right thing to do give honor to the Word of God, the Bible and God Himself, in government and in public. A day when the words "terrorism, suicide bombings and Muslim extremists" had reference to other places in the world, but not here in America. A day when men (and women) didn't so readily sacrifice their principles and scruples in order to amass wealth, privilege and power. A day when we as Americans defended our freedoms without being apologetic that we were not giving someone who hurt our Country their "rights".
Mr. Reagan, I for one wish you were still our President. In my opinion you truly brought dignity and respect to the office of President and as a result the people respected and loved you. This in contrast to what I call the "New America", which subject I will elucidate on in my nest posting.

Personal Comments as to Tuesday Jan. 20 and Wednesday Jan. 21. The Inauguration & Prayer Service
•Looking towards the Capital and seeing the mass of people was an incredible sight
•I felt the crowd was disrespectful to our outgoing president by barely acknowledging him when he was ushered onto the seating platform.
•Dr. Joseph E. Lowery’s prayer was more of a speech than a prayer.
•Michelle Obama was looking all around during Rick Warren’s prayer.
•Obama did put his hand over his heart during the playing of the national anthem on Tuesday and did the same during the prayer service on Wednesday.
•Michelle Obama, the Bidens and Bill Clinton did not place their hands over their hearts when the anthem was played at the prayer service.
•Michelle Obama looked really bummed out about having to be at the prayer service.

Should be happy about Tuesday, the 20th
This Letter to the Editor was submitted to the Wilmington Star Newspaper Jan. 17, 2009
Tuesday after the oath of office, I will have to say, Obama is my President. Should I be happy about that? Yes. Am I happy about that? No. I hope and pray that our new President is a true American but I truly doubt it. This past Friday night my wife and I watched the New Hanover teams play the Hoggard teams. Before the start of the boys game we were all asked to remove our hats to show our respect to the flag while the anthem was played. We saw no one wearing a hat but we did see many, many spectators and some players and coaches who weren't showing their respect for the flag of our country by not placing their hands over their hearts. We have a video taken of Obama during one of his campaign appearances standing on the stage with3 other people. He was the only one not placing his hand on his heart. E.J. Dionne Jr. said in his column on Saturday that "for the past two years, Barack Obama has made it hard for anyone to pin him down philosophically." I would like to know where he truly stands patriotically. We have as a country largely forgotten that fateful day of Sept. 11, 2001. Among my other concerns, I worry that Barack Hussein Obama is a closet Muslim who does not have the best interests of the American people at heart. In fact, I believe he is attempting to be all things to all people. Some have characterized him as audacious. He has to be to fool the electorate by comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln.

Burris, not Barack
This "Letter to the Editor" was submitted by me to the "Wilmington Star" newspaper on Thursday, Jan. 15, 2009. I'm sure that, like other letters I have submitted, it will not be published, but at least I tried.
"I took the time to check out the biography of Roland Burris, the African American who took Obama's place in the Senate. It's unfortunate that he was used more or less as a "weapon" in finally getting his seat in Congress. But now that he is there the American people may, if they take the time to do so, discover that this African American would have been a credible candidate for the Presidency of this country had he had the backing. Mr. Burris is a 4th generation native of Centralia, Illinois. His background contains no questions as to his true birthplace. He is a Baptist so chances are he didn't use illegal drugs. His church affiliation also would have tended to keep him from attaching himself to people linked to terrorists and angry U.S. hating ministers. His professional credentials and civic accomplishment, of which there are many, do not hint of contact with radical groups outside the country. Lastly, after reading the four to five pages of his biography, the reader comes away with the thought that if the country really wanted change, why not give a man a chance who is African American through and through and who has vast political experience, plus national recognition. Editors, the national media has finally come out and said it, Obama's road trip has now changed from “Change” to “Repair.” The wrong man is going to be sworn into office on Tuesday and all who voted for him have no one to blame but themselves."

Letters to the Editor (been there, done that, didn't get the T-shirt)
Jan. 13, 2009
Part of my desire to create a blog was to find an avenue of expression. My numerous attempts by way of the Wilmington Star newspaper has met with futility. Why? Because I'm sure my politics were like oil and theirs like water. My main focus until a few days ago was to attempt to bring attention to Obama's absence of forthrightness as to his place of birth, i.e. his citizenship. Anyone who has dared leave the mainstream media for their info to take a less traveled road (check out the Blog: w.w.w.americasright.com) will discover that there are thousands of citizens of our country who believe that, indeed, it is within certainty that he is Kenyan-born. Since his place of birth conflicts with the requirements of our Constitution it is no wonder that he and his political advisors took the low road of paying people off to keep the secret. With all the financial backing he had for his campaign the half-million plus dollars he spent to hide his true birth records was a mere drop in the bucket. Well, time has marched on and it seems that all attempts to extract the truth have come to naught. Mr. Berg's legal challenge was fluffed off by the Supreme Court. On opening day of Congress, not one legislator had the personal fortitude to stand up and challenge Obama on the birthplace issue. Had someone presented the challenge, a thorough bi-partisan investigation would have been implemented. The irony is that, according to the Tuesday, Jan. 13 Wilmington Star, Obama taught constitutional law in Chicago before entering politics. A thinking person might ask the question, "When Obama decided to enter politics, did he sacrifice his principles?" But we know that couldn't have happened because he entered politics in the State of Illinois, the State that can boast of being the political cesspool of America. As to the focus of this particular issue, I rest my case.
