Dear Moby:

While I was listening to your show this morning on my usual drive into work, I was sitting still at the traffic light during the time that the Small Town Soapbox was aired. I looked around at the many cars that were next to, in front of, and behind me. I began to wonder. Are these people Republicans or Democrats? I could not really tell. Sure one person did have an Obama bumper sticker on her car. I would assume that she as a Democrat. How would I really know? This could be her mother’s car or just a friend’s car that she was borrowing.

My conclusion was that these people were just “people”. Not with a label on them. They all were probably God fearing hard working Americans on their way to their job just as myself. Are they just as concerned about this nation’s economy as I? Do they work hard every day and take care of their homes and families as I do? Does it really matter what color what color their skin is or whether or not they are conservative or liberal. Not really in the whole scheme of things.

We as Americans need to band together to better this nation. Stop blaming one party or the other for things. Sure we need to fix some other problems that we have at hand, but attacking each other because of the opinion that they hold is not the way. It really made me sad. Then, I looked up directly above me and saw one of those changing billboards. The following appeared:

“if my people who are called by my Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

Then it occurred to me. We have been shown a way. Let’s get off our high horses and humble ourselves to lead our nation to the great nation that it is. God Bless America and the people we are. Yeah Baby Jennifer Sibley

Dear Jennifer,
I’ve frequently said that if everyone cared for the needy near them, there would be no needy among us. An individual’s ethic, drive, passion, and commitment to succeed create who we are. It’s our individual choice, and our right. It’s what freedom is.

We are responsible for ourselves and our family. Beyond that is charity, and we should give as we feel led to support with the fruits of our labor. Taking from those that understand that concept and behave accordingly, to give to those that do not, is not what brought us here.

God bless the Christian based, independent nation of free citizens that America has always been, and the devil with those that seem to not understand the ideal of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and would change that America.

Yeah baby,
Moby
