>> 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 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, then 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 on 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 Hilary 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 cannot give a child an aspirin without
>>parental notification but that same child can have an abortion without
>>parental notification. This is insane.
>>
>> There is a reason Obama went to Jeremiah Wright's church for 20
>>years.
>>
>> Obama tells us he has good judgment, but he sat under Jeremiah
>>Wright's 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 discover he'd been going to a racist church. The TRUE
>>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 churches
>>value system has to be based on biblical mandates. It does not matter if
>>it's a white church or a black church based on racial values, 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 "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.
>>
>> Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on the nation,
>>
>> 1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation?
>>
>> 2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the
>>nation?
>>
