Many people seem to be enamored by Obama because of his ethnicity and not his beliefs
News from Bangladesh ^ | June 27 2008 | Paul Kokoski

Obama speak of equality and human rights but supports the murdering of innocent children through abortion and embryonic stem cell research as if such people were a sub-class of human beings . This is not consistent with the U.S. Declaration of Independence which clearly states "... all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." This refers to the human fetus as does the similar decree by the United Nations.

Without the right to life no other human right makes sense. Hence, contrary to A.H. Jaffor Ullah, it is not only acceptable but imperative that one judge Obama according to his position on abortion. which is so extreme so as to include infanticide. Also contrary to A.H. Jaffor Ullah the majority of Americans oppose abortion. America was founded on Christian principles and no one has a right to exclude morality from the law as A.H. Jaffor Ullah thinks. When morality disappears you get anarchy.

Human life begins at conception. This was established 120 years ago by Wilhelm His, the father of human embryology. Major theologians also agree that it is at the instant of conception that a person acquires his or her soul. Procured abortion, therefore, is the deliberate killing of a human being in the initial phase of his or her existence, extending from conception to birth. While the slogan that abortion is a woman's right to control her own body may sound reasonable to many, it is a medical fact that the human fetus is not a part of the mother’s body. It is a separate, distinct and unique human person with its own heart beat, brain waves and DNA.

When pro-abortionists today speak of "unwanted pregnancies" it immediately calls to mind the horrible references to Adolph Hitler and his "unwanted Jews". The only difference being that the law today makes little racial, gender or religious distinction between who, among the weak and innocent, it allows to be systematically exterminated.

It is estimated, for example, that 1.3 million people are murdered each year in the U.S. through abortion. This is much more than those who die in war. If it is unfair to compare pro-abortion lawmakers and politicians like Obama to people like Hitler it is only because Hitler was responsible for the death of less people.

People may deceive themselves that legalized abortion across the world has not changed much in our private lives and in our society. But there are no "small murders". When man loses respect for life, he inevitably ends by losing his own identity. We all must welcome every new life into the world, regardless of the circumstances, as if it were our own. Our lives and the lives of our unborn children are inseparable.

Obama is now promoting himself as an advocate of "family values" yet he also claims to fully support homosexuality which thwarts the natural generation of life and which is the anti-thesis of the family. According to an open letter on his campaign website Obama said: "As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws." This will inevitably marginalize organized religion and those with religious beliefs. We already see this happening in Britain where new government laws on homosexual rights are forcing Catholics to sever their ties with adoption agencies. In Canada it is increasingly becoming impossible to oppose homosexuality in any form without being branded a purveyor of hate.

The family is not a client of the State. Rather, the State and society depend upon the family (which precedes the State) and its work to bring up morally sound citizens. Nor is the family an aggregation of individual preferences but an organic unity whereby mother and father are not replaceable or interchangeable but complimentary.

Philosopher Jacques Maritain wrote that democracy - what many consider the best form of government - emerged in human history as a temporal expression of evangelical inspiration and as such - in a historical rather than a dogmatic sense - is closely linked to Christianity.

Today, however, democracy is incorrectly perceived by many like Obama as an ethically neutral political regime that is able to embrace values that are not only different but actually in opposition. Of course, this "democratic relativism" is rightly aberrant to Christians because it is blind to the objective dimension of goodness and value.

Every political regime - and democracy is no exception - needs to be motivated by absolute values. As a proof - a democracy which formally aims to neutralize the conflictual values present in the social fabric in the conviction that it can give them the only possible legitimate foundation, cannot refer in its turn, on pain of contradiction, to prior founding values.

Ultimately American must ask themselves this November whether they want a moral nation or an Obama-nation.

So then, it appears a high persentage of those who support Obama are... racist.

Obama's ardent followers (including the MSM) are not swayed by logic, reason, or truth, and regardless of his positions, his gaffes, his past, or his associations, he is an idol and they the idolaters. His campaign media-blitz has been designed and engineered to evoke just such mindless hero worship without considering specific positions.


Nothing you can say or do will convince these people otherwise...


Because I am the one they and I have been waiting for...and I am lovin' it.

Those wild-eyed people represent the millions of Americans raised in the government day-care and indoctrination centers we call public schools who did not have, or would not listen to, parents and others who tried to counterweight the propaganda they heard at school...who have been raised on 60 second sound bite time spans and know no better.

You have other tens of millions on the dole who will vote for him regardless of position because he promises to keep pilfering the public largess for them.

Still othes of millions will vote for him simply because he is black, not caring to hear or look at his actual positions.

Other millions will vote for him because they know exactly who he is and what he represents and agree with his anti-American positions.

The first three are all what is termed, useful idiots, a term coined by Lennin for the dupes he got to support him.

Against this it is left to us to educate, arouse, and amass the tens of millions of Americans, of all races and creeds, who understand and hold fast to the foundational principles our constitutional republic rests upon...many of them the bitter, rural Americans clinging to their guns and religion that Obama so arrogantly spoke of.

Finally, understand that this is not the first time in history that rock-star, messianic status has been conferred on a populist, charismatic individual in order to hand them the reigns of power. Although there are many critical differences, still it is important when you consider the danger that this candidate poses to American foreign policy, our economy, our social fabric, and to the war we are fighting against fanatical Islamic Jihad terrorists, to note the following comparison:


A populsitic, charismatic, self-serving individual has a way of mesmerizing foolish people looking for an idol...then and now.

Simply put, Barack Hussein Obama is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worst, horrific disaster in our nation's history.

THE AUDACTIY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

I believe that Obama assuages “white-guilt” about slavery. Obama is half white and speaks well. He's not like Jesee or Rev Al. He's a black politician many whites feel comfortable voting for.

I'm not one of them.

Reason #1 why many people should not be allowed to vote.

Many Obamamaniacs may also be motivated by the desire to see an official “African American” president. Many probably fear they will not otherwise live to see such an historic event. In other words, for these odd Americans, it’s now or never!

They have been educated and molded to be. Obama's campaign is engineered to appeal to them.

They're today's, modern, "useful idiots". The same as what Lennin used in his revolution...er, "change".

"Obama's record on abortion is extreme. He opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion -- a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called 'too close to infanticide.' Obama strongly criticized the Supreme Court decision upholding the partial-birth ban. In the Illinois state Senate, he opposed a bill similar to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion. And now Obama has oddly claimed he would not want his daughters to be 'punished with a baby' because of a crisis pregnancy -- hardly a welcoming attitude toward new life."

This country is not in very good shape right now. We really need to be looking at turning around the failed liberal policies of the last 50 years. Instead, we’re going to elect a moronic, Marxist only because he’s “black” and because we all think we’d be making some sort of goofy “history.” What good is “history” if we don’t have a country anymore. The “black” thing has really gotten out of hand. Especially since the “black” guy they want to make President of the United States is just as much “white” as he is “black.” Like everything else the ‘RATS come up with, Obama is a fraud. A Marxist fraud at that.

The ONE question I would ask an Obama-bot is:
"Would Dr. Martin Luther King vote for him?"

The whole Obama thing is an illusion. The Commies are sneaking a Marxist under the radar by having the morons in the country focus on his "blackness." A standard wolf in sheep's clothing gig. If he is elected, it will also allow the DemocRATS to declare their "Dumbing Down of America" program a huge success.

Please correct me if I've got this wrong, but I understand that his father (the black half) was not present during Barry's childhood.

He was raised by his white mother.

Is that right?
