The MANY reasons I cannot vote for the Obama / Biden Ticket
BARACK OBAMA
Senator Obama does not communicate concisely. He is very wordy when he talks about his policies, and most of the time it is spin. It is difficult to really understand WHAT he is saying and WHAT DIRECTION he will really take as President. He has flipped flopped on several issues. He just doesn’t seem capable of being concise on any subject. He doesn’t “Straight Talk” like Senator McCain, as was clearly seen at the Saddleback Church forum. It should be very interesting to watch the debates later this month.
HERE ARE THE MANY REASONS:
Morality and character are very important to me as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I begin my own personal ‘litmus test’ for a candidate to simply ask if they believe innocent beautiful babies are expendable through the vehicle of abortion. This reveals a person’s character to me. The Democrat National Party, Barack’s party, has embraced abortion as a core value. Therefore killing unborn children is a core value for Democrats. If a leader cannot even understand the value of an unborn child and a child’s need for protection, then how can they be fit to rule? We should ask ourselves the eternal question, what would be God’s rule? We should pray the prayer of Abraham Lincoln, to be on God’s side or God’s plan in this life, rather than hoping He is on our side. God have mercy on us and deliver us from this post-modern, narcissistic, self-centered secularized mentality. Are we now so intelligent by telling young women that it is a CHOICE and a good idea to end the life of an unborn child, especially if it would make you unhappy to have a baby; as Senator Obama would have his own daughters believe. ?
Obama’s position on Abortion is radical, click here for his record. He is for partial birth abortion, in other words, he is for the right of a woman and an abortionist to pound scissors into the back of a baby’s head and suck out the brains of the partially birthed child. This procedure is in fact barbaric. This point alone is why I cannot ever vote for someone who embraces this barbaric inhuman procedure. When Barack Obama was asked about how he would handle if one of his daughters got pregnant he told the audience he wouldn’t want them to be unhappy, “I don’t want them punished with a baby” so he advocates for abortion. He would actually encourage his daughter to abort, kill his grandchild, and paralleled the developing of a human baby to a STD, not my words, Barack Obama’s. No wonder the liberal Democrats hate Sarah Palin so much, she smacks up against their love of death under a banner of choice.
Senator Obama’s position on the war in Iraq is defeatism and has been the status quo of the Democrat party of tuck-tail and run. It is ridiculous that the Democrats have tired to use the war in Iraq as political posturing for their party’s gain rather than being Americans first and planning for victory. However, to their chagrin, the surge of troops has worked and we are operating in victory. Even Obama, very begrudgingly, admitted to Bill O’Reilly that the surge has worked to the Democrats surprise.
Unpatriotic: There is no way I want to vote for a “COMMANDER AND CHIEF” who will not salute the flag of the United States of American and who also thinks wearing a lapel pin of the US flag is political.
“I won’t war that pin” Barack Obama said. I say it is the flag of the United States and anyone who loves this country should be proud to wear it especially if you are running to be the president! I come from a family of service: my father, my brother, my brother’s in-law and most of my uncles have all served in the armed forces. This is incredulous and insulting to me that Barack Obama takes this position. Who is he really loyal too? We are in a time of war. This is a fearful thing to me that anyone could come this close to the presidency of the United States and be so disloyal. Barack and his wife were not so proud of this country, until the spot light was shown on their comments.
His executive experience is nil! Can someone please tell me something he has truly run besides a campaign for president? Obama’s Senate record is one of the most liberal if not the most liberal. Okay, so really, what executive experience does this man have?
Taxes – he will tax small businesses to death, employer taxes will = higher living expenses, higher fuel costs, and higher cost of living on every item ending with a Carter recession. His policies are change alright, changing back to the Carter years. I remember those years! Unfortunately, many younger voters have no idea and are very naïve.
Judges – Barack Obama will give us radically liberal law making socialistic judges ruining the US. Obama’s judges will legislate from the bench based upon their ideology rather than the Constitution of the United States. This one point alone should give for a long pause.
Security of our nation – Obama thinks we should negotiate with evil and he is sympathetic to Islamic nations. He thinks the terrorists should be given the same legal rights as citizens of the USA. He has no experience in foreign policy. He has never been in the military and has no idea how to run it.
Energy – no plan only talk. He and the Democrats will not drill for oil. He is now spinning because many independent pressures are bearing down on both candidates. I cannot trust Barack Obama to make good decisions that will lead our country to energy independence.
Morality – embracing homosexuality, pro-abortion, free sex any time any where, and condoms for everyone at every age is the platform of the Democrat Party. This is true for Barack Obama as a Democrat. If elected the Democrats along with a Democrat Commander and Chief would pass hate crimes legislation. This would literally stop ministers from speaking out against homosexuality.
The Obama Associations – Rev. Jeremiah Wright was Barack Obama’s spiritual advisor for the past 20 years of his life. Barack Obama’s church, the church of Rev. Wright honors Louis Farrakhan. It wasn’t until the Sean Hannity with Fox News exposed Obama’s pastor’s radical teachings and other media pressure that Barack finally left this radically racial church. William Ayers was a mentor to Barrack Obama and helped him launch his political career. William Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist.
Isn’t it time to say enough is enough! This candidate for president has too many problems. He is suppose to be marvelously educated as a Harvard Graduate, but he does not know if we have 57 states or 59 with Alaska and Hawaii, and there are millions who want him to be president? No, I could NEVER vote for Barack Obama! By the way, I think most fifth graders know that we have 50 states here in the United States of America.

Sarah Palin – John McCain’s Vice President – Great Choice!
Today history was made; Governor Sarah Palin was selected by John McCain as his Vice-President. I was skeptical at first, but then I listened to this woman speak. WOW! I told my wife, “she’s gotta be a believer in Jesus Christ.” Knowing nothing about her at the time, but hearing her heart, I knew she must love God. This is the kind of news that makes me shout! Today’s event restored hope back to my heart, finally I feel like I can vote in November with joy!
Perhaps John McCain is actually seeing the need to move closer to the right, rather than playing Washington politics. I am still uncomfortable with Senator McCain’s stand on immigration, McCain-Feingold, and marriage defined and defended as a constitutional amendment – one man and one woman. The Senator has always seemed to be too liberal for my liking. However, after the Saddleback open table discussion with Rick Warren, I began to have a new respect for John McCain. He gave clear concise answers on several issues. When he answer the questions about evil and abortion, I was thrilled. McCain wants to destroy evil and Obama will negotiate with evil. The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ was manifest to destroy the works of the devil, not negotiate with evil. On abortion, McCain hit a home run! He got it right, truly life begins at conception. But Senator Obama just gave typical Washington political spin; “above his pay grade,” very sad!
But today with Governor Sarah Palin selected as John McCain’s running mate, I am very hopeful. Mrs. Palin is a woman who is not afraid to really walk out integrity, be ethical, really serve strongly, and stand against the status quo of politics as usual. Governor Palin seems to be genuine, authentic and sincere in all her beliefs and morals; a real main-stream American and not a career Washington politician. No wonder she has a higher than 80% approval rating in her state, she is believable! I think the American people are sick and tired of all the lying in Washington’s politicians. Yes, this is the kind of person I want in the White House! I believe she is a much better pick for President over Obama in the terrible event something was to happen to McCain (God forbid). I thought the Obama camp was foolish today as they attack Mrs. Palin before she even had a chance to give her acceptance speech in Dayton, Ohio. It was laughable, after I listened to talk radio; Sarah Palin actually has more executive experience than Barak Hussein Obama.
Governor Palin is a breath of fresh air from the incredibly beautiful state of Alaska! I am hoping for a great victory for the Republican Party on November 4, 2008! God bless America!
Seven Mind-Sweltering News Items about the Homosexual Political Agenda, and Hate Speech
Social Revamping Leading to Anarchy and Societal Chaos?
Freedom of Speech is NOT for Christians any more…
It seems many Christians and conservatives are not aware of how politically motivated gay activists and those involved in the homosexual agenda are in producing policies, ordinances and law changes across the United States. The efforts are being made under the banner of discrimination, tolerance and hate speech. I thought it might be helpful to have some recent HEADLINE NEWS ITEMS with links for your consideration and prayers. There has never been a time needed more than now to stand up and make a difference.
I encourage you to Google these HEADLINES. It seems these stories are outrageous, but they are true. I also encourage you to read for yourself from other sources. See how “tolerance” is only for gay thought. Read the Gay News Outlets and Blogs and see what they are saying in their own words.
Did you know that if you are outside the idea of embracing liberal homosexual philosophy as a viable and alternative lifestyle the gay thought police will attack you, and the hate crimes ordinances or legislation will come down on you hard? Did you know if you believe differently you will be considered a bigot and hateful? When do you think it will become illegal? It is already becoming illegal! It is now happening in several places in the United States of America! It is also been happening in Canada for a while, where the Bible is now considered a hate speech book.
THIS WEEK IN THE NEWS! (June 3, 2008) The Democratic Party of the USA announces that the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transsexual/transvestitism) PRIDE and CAUSES are now CORE DEMOCRAT VALUES as noted on the National Democratic Web site. “These are our country’s and our Party’s core values.” This means the Democratic Party and their leaders are for the oppression of Christian Speech and values on morality based upon God’s Word under the banner of hate speech and thought.
(WE ARE IN PERILOUS TIMES 2 Tim 3:1-5 and 2 Tim. 4:3) What do you think will happen with a democratic controlled Congress and White House?
NOW FOR NEWS
Freedom of Speech is not tolerated if it is Judeo-Christian speech, values or science that proves otherwise. The college security allowed the disruption and no action was taken against the bullies. There was no disciplinary action or penalties to students from the school administration. Unbelievable? Watch the video and see for yourself. Here are pictures and video from the riot take-over, source: from MASSResistance
See the President of Smith College, Carol Christ’s response and you can see clearly where her values are, as she closes her announcement without an apology but gives an alternative response for a gay movie to be shown the next day at 8:00PM.
2) New Mexico lesbian Vanessa Willock sued Christian photographer Elaine Huguenin because of her faith and values would not allow her to be the lesbians’ photographer at their “gay wedding.” (Willock v. Elane Photography is the suit). This lesbian couple demanded Elaine Huguenin co-owner with her husband of Elane Photography to be the lesbians’ photographer or be sued. The lesbians sued and the New Mexico court upheld the human rights ordinance and found Elane Photography guilty of “sexual orientation” discrimination. Elane Photography was fined $6,637.94. The Alliance Defense Fund is the defense attorneys for Elane Photography. Read the full story and see the PDF of the commission’s order. Or http://www.alliancedefensefund.org/news/pressrelease.aspx?cid=4467
3) Lesbian Couple Sues Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association / Methodist in August 2007 because the lesbians desired to use the church’s PRIVATE property, a pavilion on the beach for their civil union – gay wedding – the church denied their request based upon their Christian Tenants. This case is still pending.
The church counter sued state of New Jersey based upon the First Amendment protection. Read Story and Related Links
4) Colorado has become a Progressive State by passing into law by Governor Ritter-(D) SB2000 which is the Equal Access and Accommodations Bill for Gays. This bill has a provision for GLBT to use the public bathroom of their choice based upon their gendered feeling of the moment. If you are a man dressed as a woman you may now legally use the woman’s bathroom. If you are feeling rather masculine as a women, nothing prevents you from going to the men’s room. IF you are a man in full-battle drag you can march right into the men’s room and pull up your dress and use the urinal. Five year old little Johnny is standing in the men’s bathroom in shock! “Why is a woman in the men’s bathroom daddy?” Little Johnny’s dad is going to have a difficult time explaining this scene. How about this for some Colorado Confusion? You think this is far-fetched, you should think again. If you do not believe the bizarreness you might want to take a look at Americans For Truth website.

In Canada, Christian morality is considered hate speech. This priest was merely stating his Christian beliefs, His Bible beliefs and the teachings of the Pope John II and the Catholic Church. RELATED ARTICLE: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=66437
Here is Stephen’s original letter that was printed in a local Alberta newspaper. “The Homosexual Agenda Wicked” I don’t personally agree with everything Stephen wrote, but I certainly agree with his right to say it. However, I found his closing statement compelling for in just four years things have progressed much worse.
“If you are reading this and think that this is (an) alarmist, then I simply ask you this: how bad do things have to become before you will get involved? It’s time to start taking back what the enemy has taken from you. The safety and future of our children is at stake.” Rev Stephen Boissoin
I do agree with this question and statement. (See Stephen Boissoin’s Blog)
Update to Stephen Boissoin case: June 9, 2008
Government to pastor: Renounce your faith! Now banned from expressing moral opposition to homosexuality
Stephen Boissoin ordered to pay $7000 and apologize, and to continue to remain silent about homosexuality. http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/jun/08060902.html
7) Northern Ireland’s ‘first lady’ under investigation of hate crimes by expressing her Christian views on homosexuality. First Lady, Iris Robinson said that homosexuality was disgusting on a BBC radio show. She said it was in the Bible that homosexuality is an abomination. Now, Iris Robinson, Northern Ireland’s first lady is under investigation for hate crimes and could go to jail and face large financial penalties. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1024965/Northern-Irelands-lady-probed-police-gay-hate-rant-BBC-radio-show.html
An excellent article of on this topic with other outrageous incidents: ‘Hate Crime’ Laws Threaten Religious Freedom By Robert Knight and Lindsey Douthit at CWA site.
Please understand that I am NOT necessarily endorsing the content of any of these links or news agencies. I am merely hoping to inform people about the news and what is going on in the moral failing of the USA and also in the world concerning homosexuality. I am asking for you to research the news for yourself and pray! Again, please remember First Stone Ministries and our staff
Approval, Affirmation, and Sanctioning of Homosexual Marriage in California
Gay affirming policies and politics are leading to the ruin of marriage as once known between one man and one woman. Marriage is on the fast-track of no longer being sacred. According to a recent Gallup poll, 78% to 88% of American youth ages 16 to 25 embrace the idea of homosexuality as a valid, acceptable alternative lifestyle and that gays should be allowed to marry.
Once gay marriage is accepted in a culture then marriage becomes devalued and diluted to nothing and people just stop marrying. This is true in the European countries that have embraced such cultural policies according to Stanly Kurtz’s article “The End of Marriage in Scandinavia”.
(Click here and read another Stanly Kurtz article “Zombie Killers A.K.A., Queering the Social”).
According to this polling data, I would say that the USA is only 10 – 15 years away from a sweeping gay marriage revolution across this country. This is already occurring in Europe. If there is not a spiritual and moral awakening, marriage will become a bothersome formality for a liberal immoral society. Once marriage is defined to mean anything you desire, it becomes warped and goes to several other bizarre forms.
So, why not have marriages to include polygamy, marrying children, or even your favorite pet? “Ridiculous!” You might say, well time will tell. It would have been ridiculous 50 years ago to propose a future of what actually happened this past week in California. Is it ridiculous that the San Francisco Valued Pious Black Robes trashed traditional marriage? Gays are lining up to marry in California! Oh the time consuming quagmire this will put other states into dealing with gay marriages and divorces. There will certainly be plenty of extra courtroom time and dollars spent until the newness wears off and gay affirmation has completely destroyed marriage altogether.
I feel the Church at large has lost its saltiness and influence in this “post-modern any thing that feels good goes” narcissistic generation. Even among heterosexual marriages of evangelicals there is more than a 50% divorce rate. Where is commitment? Where is loyalty and godly character in our society? Haven’t we started the imploding process by embracing all forms of immorality? Where is the Holy Church? Most church-going people laugh and embrace gay characters during their weekly dosage of television entertainment. Acclimation – it really has become “acceptable.” The Church is not allowed to even use a Biblical word to describe homosexuality as detestable without gasps and shrills from other acclimated politically and culturally relevant Christians. Yes, we have become acclimated to accept it as a normal part.
When marriage is made into a mockery, then the question becomes, “why bother?” The overwhelmingly majority of the same noted peer group in the Gallup poll also believes it is perfectly acceptable to have free sex with anyone at anytime, just as long as it is consenting. Will this be the last generation to up hold any form of Judeo-Christian morality? Will there be even more terrorism from radical Islamic Fascists because the USA is indeed become the great Satan of immorality in their minds? The leading country producing the largest amount decadent pornographic material to the rest of the entire earth! The Islamic extremists actually believe their holy book and are out to destroy such infidels. The next 10 to 20 years are going to be very gripping. We owe much of this to well organized political savvy gay activists, the California black robes and to a sleepy Church.
Awake Church!
“This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires. (Romans 13:11-14 NLT)
