In 2 Samuel 23 we read about three of David's top generals and the bloody battles they faced to defeat the enemies of God.
The focus of this OPed is on an army Captain named, Shammah. The Philistines would come down into his valley at harvest time to trample and plunder, under the feet of their of horses, the fresh lentils needed to supply the Children of Israel with food materials for the coming years.
But, the word explains how these bean-bandits charged into Shammam's valley and completely destroyed the lentils. The Word tells us that this had been going on for years without anyone lifting a sword to protect the beans. However, this year would be different from the others, because Shammah, a young warrior for the Israelite army had taken possession of the bean fields, and was bound-and-determined to put an end to this senseless destruction of the beans need for winter months. Armed only with a sword and the supernatural power of His Lord, God Jehovah, the beans would be saved. As we read tin his scripture, we are told that Shammah yelled out at his enemies: "Enough is enough".
By know, many of you are thinking that this OPed should be in a Forum that deals with the Word of God. But, I say; "Nay!" This is a political issue and will be used to explain my concerns about the apologetic, name-calling, finger-pointing of Obama over the past few weeks!
Think about that last statement, my brothers and sisters. Obama, through the DHS, has demonized the Conservative right; elevating us over and above any Hamas and Hezbolah, or radical Muslim sleeper cells living amongst us on Main Street, USA. The DHS has, for all practical purposes labeled us as a group of people who need to be under a "watchful eye. The shift in government policy has made tax paying, hard working American's [you and I] as being much more dangerous than the terror cells living on main street USA, or those sneaking over the Mexican/American border.
This once proud nation is quickly turning into a "big brother state" and if nothing else scares you about the Obama administration, this should....
I say to Obama, Reid and Pelosi, "Enough-is-enough!" We want DC to listen to our concerns, not to brand us as Extreme Conservative/right wingers. You know that this group of Americans truly love and worship God, and above all things, we love this country, and we would die to keep it free from enemies: both foreign and domestic!
Any revolution efforts on our behalf would be implemented in the polling booths when we rise up in mass to vote out-of-office those corrupt politicians who don't get it when it comes to killing babies, stem-cell research, tax and spending that is out of control, and gutting the budget of our military in a concetrated effort to weaken its ability to protect this nation, from both foreign and domestic.
To be honest with you, Mr. President, I am ashamed of you and a host of Senate and Congressional leaders who have worked to put this nation at the doorstep of bankruptcy. I am ashamed of those elected leaders who have chipped away at the moral fabric of America. Way too many elected leaders are morally bankrupt, corrupt, and greedy. The time has come to remove these folks from their cushy high paying jobs with unheard of "perks" and special-interest bribes. What started on April 15th is the beginning of a grassroots campaign to get America back on track. The Tea Party crowd will only continue to grow with each attempt by DC to tighten their financial choke-hold on capitalism. This group is the face, the heart, and the spirit of what America once was, and will once again be.
Keep an eye on the sky, the Conservatives who collectively make this a Christian nation have only just begun to fight. The good that once made America a special place to live in, knows what it takes to keep America on the straight and narrow road of right. We are fed up with a lot of things going on in this country. These are issues that have been going on for more than 20 years now, and we are fed up! We have officially declared, with each Tea Party, that "Enough is enough!" It is time to leave our beans alone!

- Just two weeks ago, the POTUSA proclaimed that Americans were arrogant, dismissive, and at times derisive. As an American who loves this country, I am abhorred that he would use such verb-age to describe me, as well as other hard working Americans;
- Last week the POTUSA proclaimed that America was not a Christian nation, just a nation made up of people with ideals;
- Than, this week, He has the nerve to approve an "Eye's Only" report by the DHS proclaiming that Americans who are against gay marriage, stem-cell research, abortion, the illegal Mexicans streaming [by the thousands] over our boarder, and own guns, can be considered to be "Extremist Right Radicals.
