Obama
Thought you might be interested in what Obama stands for... since the change he enacts may not be the CHANGE YOU WANT or BELIEVE IN!!
Following is from a forwarded e-mail I received regarding Bill Brown. "He is a highly respected retired member of the Billy Graham team. (His wife is the British actress who was in one of the Billy Graham films. She is also an author.) So I take his assessment of Obama very seriously and for that reason accept his challenge to pass this on. I share his concern about the "rock star" image Obama has and watch with growing concern at the celebrity status the media has foisted upon him. I hope this email informs you in a wise way."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are witnessing a political phenomenon with
Barack Obama of rare magnitude. His speeches have
inspired millions and yet most of his followers
have no idea of what he stands for except
platitudes of "Change" or that he says he will be
a "Uniter". The power of speech from a
charismatic person truly can be a powerful thing.
Certainly Billy Graham had charisma and both his
manner of speech and particularly the content
changed millions. On the extreme other hand, the
charisma of Adolph Hitler inspired millions and
the results were catastrophic. Barack Obama
certainly is no Hitler or a Billy Graham, but for
many Americans out there feeling just like a
surfer who might be ecstatic and euphoric while
riding a tidal wave, the real story is what happens when it hits shore.
Just Some of What Defines Barack Obama:
·
He voted against banning partial " birth abortion.
·
He voted no on notifying parents of
minors who get out-of-state abortions.
·
Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government.
·
In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing.
·
Says he will deal with street level
drug dealing as minimum wage affair.
·
Admitted marijuana and cocaine use in high school and in college.
·
His religious convictions are very murky.
·
He is willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il
and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
·
Has said that one of his first goals after being elected would be
to have a conference with all Muslim nations.
·
Opposed the Patriot Act.
·
First bill he signed that was passed was campaign finance reform.
·
Voted No on prohibiting law suits against gun manufacturers.
·
Supports universal health-care.
·
Voted yes on providing habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees.
·
Supports granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
·
Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants.
·
Voted yes on comprehensive immigration reform.
·
Voted yes on allowing illegal aliens to
participate in Social Security.
·
Wants to make the minimum wage a "living wage".
·
Voted with Democratic Party 96 percent of 251 votes.
·
Is a big believer in the separation of church and state.
·
Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security and
instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid.
·
He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax
·
He voted No on repealing the "Death" Tax
·
He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax.
·
Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded.
·
He is ranked as the most liberal
Senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing.
If your political choices are consistent with
Barack Obama's and you think that his positions
will bring America together or make it a better
place, then you will probably enjoy the ride and
not forward this Email. If you are like most
Americans that after examining what he stands
for, are truly not in line with his record, it
would be prudent to get off the wave or better
yet, never get on, before it comes on shore and
undermines the very foundations of this great
Country. We have limited time to save America or
the Supreme Court as we know it. Inaction is action.
If you agree this is important, pass it on. The
mainstream media will not do it for you!
