The symbol of a red star has become synonymous with communism. It’s pretty much iconic. It’s also a fitting symbol for Obama’s navigation of the ship of state. He’s steering us (that is, the ship of state) NOT toward the North Star, but toward the big red commie star in the sky. He’s drawn to it as sure as the Magi were drawn toward the star of Bethlehem. It is who he is.

Obama may have Big-Rock-Candy-Mountain dreams about a socialist utopia, but reality is a bitter cup of coffee for the somnolent commie. That big red star is red because it’s been steeped in blood. History clearly shows that. The big red star is a death sponge, soaking up the blood of millions of innocents. Move over Star War’s Death Star, you ain’t got nothing on the big red star of communism.

Some of those innocent victims of communism never even got to enjoy THE fundamental right . . . that is the right to life itself, nicely operationalized in the act of being born. Red China is notorious for the atrocities of their one child policy. Russia too is known for its shocking abortion rate. And, Obama is the most pro-abortion president in the history of legalized abortion in the United States. I guess when you have stars in your eyes (red ones, that is!), it goes with the territory.

And finally, that brings me to red envelopes. I got an email over the weekend encouraging me to participate in “Red Envelope Day,” which has been designated as today, March 31, 2009 (but, what the hay, it could certainly be extended beyond that . . . why not Red Envelope week?).

What then is Red Envelope Day? It’s a protest similar to the tea parties going on around the nation concerning taxation and spending, except this is about the right to life. The idea is the brainchild of Brian Potter (here is the website for Red Envelope Day). In this initiative, we are being encouraged to send Barack Obama a red colored envelope. It’s to be empty inside. On the side of the envelope opposite the address information and stamp, we are encouraged to pen this simple message:

“This red envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion.
It is empty because the life that was taken is now unable to be a part of our world.”

Red envelopes may be purchased at a party store or printing/copying stores.

The organizers of Red Envelope Day have lofty goals. They are hoping to deluge the White House with 50 million red envelopes . . . approximately one for the estimated number of abortions since Roe V. Wade. Sending one or two envelopes is but a drop in the bucket, but it’s a cheap and dignified way to send Dear Leader a message . . . and who knows, a hailstorm of red envelopes may just knock Captain Obama off his full-steam ahead course toward the big red star in the commie sky . . . even if only temporarily.

If you decide to participate, please send your envelope/s to:

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington , D.C. 20500
