Why I can’t vote for Obama

25 10 2008

I’m not personally acquainted with Huntley Brown, but I think what he has to say bears repeating.

 

 Why I Can’t Vote For Obama
> By Huntley Brown
>
>
> Dear Friends, A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I
> sent out an email with a few points. With the election just around the
> corner, I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have
> seen some of this before but it’s worth repeating…
>
> First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer support.
> Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments but I need to explain
> why I will not be voting for him.
>
> Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process
> my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He
> leads, I follow. I can’t dictate the terms; He does because He is the
> leader.
>
> I can’t vote black because I am black; I have to vote Christian because
> that’s who I am. Christian first, black second. Neither should anyone from
> the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I
> won’t be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and
> accepted Him as Lord and Savior.
>
> In an election there are many issues to consider, but when a society gets
> abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to
> name a few, wrong economic concerns will soon not matter.
>
> We need to follow Martin Luther King’s words, ‘don’t judge someone by the
> color of their skin but by the content of their character.’ I don’t know
> Obama, so all I can go off is his voting record. His voting record earned
> him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007.
>
> NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (01/31/2008)
>
> To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes
> some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what
> would happen to America if he had four years to work with.
>
> There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100% rating. There is a
> reason the homosexual community supports him. There is a reason Ahmadinejad,
> Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him. There is a reason he said he would
> nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court. There is a reason he voted
> against the infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted NO on the
> constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. There is a reason he voted NO on
> banning partial birth abortion. There is a reason he voted NO on confirming
> Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have
> since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to
> continue.
>
> Let’s take a look at the practice he wanted to continue:
>
> The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures:
>
> A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby’s leg with forceps.
> (Remember, this is a live baby)
> B. The baby’s leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
> C. The abortionist delivers the baby’s entire body, except for the head.
> D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby’s skull. The scissors are
> then opened to enlarge the hole.
> E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child’s
> brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then
> removed.
>
> God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.
>
>
> Think about this: You can’t give a kid an aspirin without parental
> notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental
> notification. This is insane.
>
> There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years.
>
> Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah Wright
> teaching for 20 years. Now he is condemning Wright’s sermons. I wonder why
> now?
>
> Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple
> is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 – 20 ‘Go and make
> disciples of all nations.’ This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to
> think like you, walk like you; talk like you, believe what you believe, etc.
> The question I have is: what did Jeremiah Wright teach him?
>
> Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenets
> that said they have a …
>
> 1. Commitment to the White Community
> 2. Commitment to the White Family
> 3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic
> 4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available
> to the White Community.
> 5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for
> Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions
> 6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the
> White Value System
> 7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.
>
> Would you support a President who went to a church like that?
>
> Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama’s
> former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he
> would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been
> marching outside.
>
> This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years
> and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can’t be about
> race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole
> world.
>
> A church can’t have a value system based on race. The church’s value system
> has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if it’s a white
> church or a black church, it’s still wrong. Anyone from either race that
> attends a church like this would never get my vote.
>
> Obama’s former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian
> James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone
> once wrote: ‘Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified
> totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and
> against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.’
>
> Cone is the man Obama’s mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?
>
> So what does all this mean for the nation?
>
> In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead
> a nation it meant one thing – judgment.
>
> Read 1 Samuel 8, when Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel
> 1:9 ‘Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the
> king who will reign over them will do.’
>
> Then God says:
>
> 1 Samuel 1:18 ‘ When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the
> king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.’ 19) But
> the people refused to listen to Samuel. ‘No!’ they said. ‘We want a king
> over us. 20) Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead
> us and to go out before us and fight our battles.’ 21) When Samuel heard
> all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22) The LORD
> answered, ‘Listen to them and give them a king.’
>
> Here is what we know for sure.
>
> God is not schizophrenic. He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and
> one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself
> cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.
>
> Maybe I am the one not hearing, but I know God does not change and Obama
> contradicts many things I read in scripture, so I doubt it.
>
> For all my friends who are voting for Obama, can you really look God in the
> face and say; ‘Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though
> I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He
> might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure
> he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are
> against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights,
> even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the
> other way because of the economy. ‘
>
> I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama’s positions.
>
> Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.

Make My Day.

11 10 2008

I just now heard on Fox News that Clint Eastwood opined that Sarah Palin “won” the Vice Presidential Debate.  Nuff said.





Political Suicide

27 09 2008

I was depressed last night so I called Lifeline.


Got a freakin’ call center in Pakistan



I told them I was suicidal.



They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.





16 09 2008

 

 

 

     I’ve been laughing hysterically at the rage, hate, attacks, smear tactics and raw disdain coming from the left wing blogs about Sarah Palin.  You don’t know what to do with her, do you?  Try as hard as you can, you still can’t put a dent in her amour.  She’s too tough for you.  She has class.  She’s a “lady.”  Something the “progressives” are not too familiar with. 

     The feminists are about to explode.  I can see them now.  Tears.  Fist clinching. Fingernail marks in their palms.  I bet you couldn’t scrape up 6 ounces of tooth enamel from the entire  board of directors of N.O.W. from them grinding their teeth so far down that they’re now only fangs.

      How dare she?  How dare she be a babe?  Why, she looks like a female anchor on the Fox News Network.  How dare she refuse to not murder her baby when she found out he had Down’s syndrome?  Damn her!  She is a member of the NRA and hunts!!!!  OMG!!!!!  I cannot wait til McCain’s elected and liberals gather on the steps of the Capitol, sing one verse of Kum-Ba-Yah and commit mass suicide.

 





Hilary’s Huge Hindquarters

13 09 2008

I think I’ve figured out why left wing feminists are vehemently opposed to Sarah Palin.  Bitterness, jealousy and embarrassment.  Unlike Hilary, Sarah does not “need” to wear pantsuits.  She can, but it is not necessary.  Her backside is in proportion to her body.  Michele Obama has a big ass, but it’s not necessarily hideous like Hilary’s.  Militant feminism is the social vehicle by which ugly or unattractive women are inducted into the mainstream of society.





The Ant and the Grasshopper

11 09 2008

OLD VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long,
building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and
plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. 

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

———————- ———————

MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and
plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed
while others are  cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the
shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable
home with a table filled with food. America ’s stunned by the sharp
contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor
grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? 

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody
cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green.’

Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where
the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’ Jesse
then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.

Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that
the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call
for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act
retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green
bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is
confiscated by the government.

Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a
defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel
of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of
single-parent welfare recipients.

The ant loses the case.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of
the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens
to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t
maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house,
now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the
once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2008





Common Sense Applied by a Child

17 08 2008

I got this in an e-mail.  Could have really happened. 

 

 

I was talking to a friend of mine’s little girl, and she said she wanted to be
President some day.

Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, “If you were
President, what would be the first thing you would do?”
She replied, “I’d give houses to all the homeless people.”
“Wow – what a worthy goal.” I told her, “But you  don’t have to wait until  you’re  
President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds,
and  sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery  
store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to us e
toward a new house.”
She thought that over for a few seconds (remember, she’s only 6.) And while her Mom
glared at me, she looked me straight in the eye and asked, “Why doesn’t the homeless
guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?”
And I said, “Welcome to the Republican Party.”
Her folks still aren’t talking to me.
 





Scared of Obama? Oh, Hell Yes, I Am!!!!

13 08 2008

I originally posted this article 2 days ago on the 13th of August.  A liberal friend of mine asked me if I had checked the data before posting it.  I had to admit to him that I had not.  I went to “Snopes.com” and put in Obama/McCain/Taxes.  The first entry that appeared is the same that I posted without checking it first.  My apologies to all my liberal friends, enemies and those who have yet to declare an alleigience.  I got caught with my proverbial “britches down.”  An increasingly unattractive mental picture, the older I get.  I am a conservative.  I dare say I will always be a conservative, but, not at the expense of my integrity.  According to Snopes (I have no reason to disbelieve them) the following article is without merit.  Shame on me for “leaping before I looked.” 

 

“INTERESTING DATA JUST RECEIVED ON TAXES

 

 This is something you should be

 
aware of so you don’t get blind-sided.
This is really going to catch a lot
 
of families off guard. It should
make you worry.Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:

 

CAPITAL GAINS TAX  

MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000
 
per home (couples) McCain does not
propose any change in existing
 
home sales income tax.OBAMA

 
28% on profit from ALL home salesHow does this affect you?

 
If you sell your home and make a profit, you
will pay 28% of your gain on taxes.
 
If you are heading toward retirement
and would like to down-size your
 
home or move into a retirement
community, 28% of the money you
 
make from your home will go to taxes. This
proposal will adversely affect the
 
elderly who are counting on the income
from their homes as part of their retirement income. 

DIVIDEND TAX MCCAIN 15% ( no change)

 OBAMA 39.6%

How will this affect you?

 
If you have any money invested in stock
market, IRA, mutual funds,
 
college funds, life insurance, retirement
accounts, or anything that pays
 
or reinvests dividends, you will now
be paying nearly 4 0% of the money
 
earned on taxes if Obama become president.
 
The experts predict that ‘higher
 
tax rates on dividends and capital gains
 
would crash the stock market yet
do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.INCOME TAX

 MCCAIN (no changes)

Single making 30K – tax $4,500
Single making 50K – tax $12,500
Single making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 125K – tax $31,250

OBAMA
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K – tax $8,400
Single making 50K – tax $14,000
Single making 75K – tax $23,250
Married making 60K – tax $16,800
Married making 75K – tax $21,000
Married making 125K – tax $38,750

Under Obama your taxes will

 
more than double!
How does this affect you? No explanation
 
needed. This is pretty
straight forward. 

INHERITANCE TAX MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax

How does this affect you? Many families

 
have lost businesses,
farms and ranches, and homes
 
that have
 
been in their families
for generations because they could not
 
afford the
inheritance tax.
Those willing their assets to loved
 
ones will not only lose them to< BR>these taxes.NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA

 * New government taxes proposed on

 
homes that are more than
2400 square feet
 * New gasoline taxes (as if

 
gas weren’t high enough already)
 * New taxes on natural resources

 
consumption (heating
gas, water, electricity)
 * New taxes on retirement accounts

 
and last but not least….* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine

 
so we can receive the same
level of medical care as other
 
third-world countries!!!
