THE BARBARITY OF CHANGE – OBAMA’S ACCOMPLISHMENT RECORD

The current dynamics of our politics is reflective of the degeneration of ideas. Our society seems to care less that ideas have consequences. The blatant or sometimes subtle result of adhering to evolution that nixes meaning and purpose for individual life clearly trumps altruism every time if we only reflect back long enough to learn from history. Without conscious respect for eternal authority or fear of accountability, we are naturally intentionally self-seeking and destructive.

When Ronald Reagan was running for president, the social debate was about when life begins. The semantics were blob of tissue versus fetus. Although this argumentation remain, it is appalling that one candidate who claims to be a Christian is only clearly marked by two certain things in his political background: his barbaric views on infant care for those who survive botched abortions and his twisted defense of equal rights for women who are objectified as mere inventory for the abortion industry. This culture epic is truly alarming when we realize that we are killing and hurting our own citizenry.

TO SENATOR OBAMA AND HIS SUPPORTERS:

I’d like to remind Senator Obama of just a couple short compassionate Bible quotes -- mind you, from the Old Testament, since he seem to undermine its relevance to his progressive views while claiming to adhere to the faith.

First, Christ’s ancestor himself, King David, affirms the value of a life even before conception -

“Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” (Psalm 139:16, NIV)

The second is from the prophet Moses whose job description is often caricatured as messengers of a cranky God, yes, from MLK’s own hero in leading the civil rights movement who have this to say -

“This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” (Deuteronomy 30:19 & 20, NIV)

The kind of change we need and the hope that is truly audacious can only stem from faith in the Holy One, knowledge of the Creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – whose Son, Jesus Christ, came down to earth to live and die so that everybody, "formed or unformed" may have life and have it to its fullest.

The decisions you have made, the bills you have upheld and the campaign rhetoric you espouse are not in synchrony, Senator; neither does your professed faith. That is why I cannot vote for you. You may have 2 daughters of your own but I cannot trust you to shape legislations for mine. That is why I can only vote for the McCain-Palin ticket, the real Christian, pro-life and pro-women ticket.
