I can't speak for those who "hate" Obama. I am one of those who has some discernment about him though. How about some Godly wisdom applied in deciding if he's a good person to have in charge of the nation?
Do you think it wise to elect someone who's been named by the U.S. Senate as the staunchest supporter of abortions and abortion rights in the history of the Senate? Hillary Clinton is far right wing of this man, and she's psychoticly against Godly policiy. We aren't talking mere non-intervention regulations. We're talking proposals during his senate days to actually insist that even if a baby is accidentally born during a late-term abortion, that it would be strictly forbidden to provide that baby with means of support. Literally requiring that the baby be left in a closet to die because not insisting upon this would "seriously undermine the spirit" behind the abortion decision and the abortion "rights" cause. Obama supporters usually refuse to look up the legitimacy of the positions he's taken on the Senate floor. Instead they look to similar-characters (who endorse him) to summarize and evaluate him on their behalf. Complete disolusionment and blatantly foolish.
Do you think it wise to elect a man who openly welcomes bans on Christians praying in public places? How about his policies to disallow miloitary functions which have been tradition in our country for honoring God and country since World War II because they insist upon giving reverence to God by way of prayer?
Do you think it wise to elect a man who's policies have unequivocally involved the socilaization of manufactoring, the socialization of the banking system, the socilaization of medicine, the socialization of healthcare, and who's sights are on socializing the other sectors of America in the same order by which Hitler was able to socialize Germany to obtain absolute control? I'm not saying the man is Hitler, for those of you who will insist on taking this quote out of context for your own rhetoric. All the while denying he's a socialist, he studied under sociolists, sang the praises of socilaist policies in his first book. His self-proclaimed mentors are self-proclaimed socialists, terrorists, and marxists. Don't take my ord for it - read the book. Unless you simply decide to remain adamantly ignorant and refuse to look into the issue with your own eyes. Heresay? rediculous rhetorical talking points?
Take a look at his policies. He and the other self-proclaimed socialists he's put in his cabinet have rabidly been overruling state sovereignty guaranteed by the constitution that in the same respectwhich he thumbs his nose at God in his policies, he thumbs his nose at the Central document on which all law and freedom in this country is based. nearly half of the states have now filed lawsuits if not actually passing laws which state they reject this new federal mandate and takeover of freedoms as completely illegal and unconstitutional. Why would they do that? The Senators who passed the legislation refer to it as healthcare reform. I've heard the nice things that it will do from the news organizations who endorse these members of congress.
Still not convinced? How smart do you have to be to connect the dots when all of our most steady Anti-Democratic Republic enemies support and endorse fully his socialist policies. Castro thinks it's the greatest thing the U.S. has ever done. Does that mean nothing at all to you? Hugo Chavez thinks he's the greatest president the U.S. has ever had. Does that not give you any indication that you might have been fed some stupid pills?
Okay okay! So stop with the "socialism blah blah blah"... he's better than the last president.
Can you tell me how?
The trouble we have now isn't his fualt! It's the previous administration's fault!
Can you explain to me how taking the previous administration's 4-year total of debt including a war can be outspent 4 times over in this man's first year on obsurd and blatant breaking of the law in bribing votes. Even the left-wing news groups can't sit there and not report it.
When on earth will you get your head out of the sand? So maybe you don't spend that much time looking into this stuff because you're not interested in politics? Fine. How about history? Did you not study and retain anything of value in the history of the different types of government?
I could write for weeks about this stuff, and it isn't because I enjoy it. It's not because I'm filled with hate or jealousy or racial bias. It's because I pay attention, I CARE about truth enough to not take it for granted, and because I care enough about what God says is right to recognize things that boldly stand against it. Look, Obama might be a nice guy. I don't believe he hates America at all. I bet he really feels he's doing the best thing. Problem is, he's driven by foolish principles and rejection of God in every way he has been able. If you take for granted that this bill is even 50% about providing health care for people, then I'm sorry to have to confess, you are ignorant. Having made this claim, if you continue to believe it's a good thing without checking for yourself what's in it (it's available online) then I would have to add to that that you are foolish. If after all of this rant, you defend his positions on policiy which has been consistantly anti-God and anti-constitutional without actually looking into the recorded votes he's made in congress and the programs he has cut, and the programs he's insisted room be made for... then I would add to that you are not a patriotic American.
If you insist still on claiming the man has done God any measure of respect or honor, has in any way given our nation a more righteous position or any more safety, without actually considering the weight of these allegations and checking them out, then I would add you in my mind, and that of any conservative and about every God-LOVING / PURSUING person I've ever known, to a long prayer list of people who, like me, need God's Truth. I pray that He would open your eyes.
I love my country. I will not say that any one else does not. But I will say that regardless of how bad any previous president has been, this president has in this one year, expressly demanded the overriding of the one document that has governed our nation for so long... more than any president in U.S. history. He has spent, in this one year - while we are already in crippling debt - more irresponsibly than any president in U.S. history. You want to take on the world? How about not crippling us financially in such a staggering way that even the vote of a supermajority in ALL houses of government is barely feasable.. not with all the bargaining.. all the political promisses... bribes.. even exemptions from the law from certain states. Even the Senate knows that what they are doing is wrong. Even they are starting to think.. "what the heck are we doing?" If you quote that it simply ensures that all Americans have healthcare, you haven't read it. Don't propagate what other people tell you. READ IT, because the lie that the government has spent SOOOOOOOO much mony on campaining and advertising to you - literally- to just swallow this thing because it's good for you and good for everyone, good for America.. they don't tell you what's in it! If you still think it's all a good thing and haven't at least looked at what's in it and how thr party who supports it even worries about what it will do to our coutry, then you're straight out senseless. Let me know when you're ready to buy a car.. I have one that's PERFECT for you. It's a GREAT deal and you need it.
If you refuse to pray for our leaders, then I question your loyalty to God. We are given that charge. Please pray that God gives us leaders who will humbly submit to his authority and will. Leaders who glorify Christ and enable others to do the same. The things that this man has done in office may not be able to be repaired. That saddens me. I want Christ's kingdom. The best that man can do is still messed up. I don't blame Obama for not trying his best. I blame him for the result.
Finally, if you've actually read everything I wrote, then thank you for being patient, tolerant, and contemplative, even if you disagree. Again, don't hate, but DO DISCERN. LOVE despite foolishness. Pray despite anger over wrecklessness. And PLEASE please ask God for wisdom.
Love in Christ,
