It’s only the
third day of Barack Obama’s presidency, but he not been shy in his
pronouncements designed as an aggressive plan to radically shift
America away from a capitalistic society and to reform it into a
dependent nation that will not too slowly force Americans to look to
Washington for every aspect of their lives.
On his second full day, Obama stated that he still supports a woman’s right to choose, but adds the addendum that his support for the death of the unborn was not that he supported abortion. Can I ask a question? What does mean, Mr. President? It behooves me to quote the words from the book of James that “a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” President Obama followed up his doubletalk with a plea to find common ground with pro-life Americans. Mr. President, there is no common ground between the forces of life and the now firmly implanted Culture of Death that has already slaughtered more than forty million children, who have rights from God rather you acknowledge them or not.
Again, in the few short hours since his inauguration, President Obama has already let it be known that he intends to allow homosexuals to enter into civil unions. The new President said he would give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples and that, in not so many words, yet quite openly declares on the website, Whitehouse.gov, that he intends measures that will both subtly and not so quietly force the American people to embrace homosexuality as a normal lifestyle and to look upon homosexual couples as in no way outside of the norm. That may have already been accomplished.
President Obama’s newly revealed gay rights agenda, posted on the White House website, is the largest direct attack against the traditional family and the single greatest onslaught of the Culture of Death. The pro-abortion, pro-gay, socialistic group of societal engineers finally has their messiah, and he is a dream come true for the homosexual lobby.
Our new president
has already mastered the fine strokes of illusion by masking every
unconstitutional policy he seeks to enact as patriotic and with only
the good of the nation in mind. In reality, what we shall
witness in the next four years will not be the end of simply a
generation, but in reality, the beginning of what President Obama
himself called it, a New Age. With so many loving words
and pleas for unity, President Obama will systematically dismantle this
nation and render it into super-power mush, and he has already started.
So, it is not an
exaggeration to say that the new President wants to force American
society to accept homosexuality in the workplace and in the military. We already do that. Yet, he will fill the nation with executive orders and disregard Congress and bypass constitutional limits on his power. He
will push hard to pass hate crimes legislation that will make it a
crime to criticize the homosexual lifestyle or to declare your
opposition of homosexual marriage, give marriage benefits to same-sex
couples, and what he cannot achieve in Congress he will write into law
himself, and he started today. It is not much of a
prediction to say that President Obama will repeal the federal Defense
of Marriage Act, signed into law by none other than William Jefferson
Clinton. He is sworn to oppose any form of federal constitutional amendment to limit marriage to between a man and a woman, only. Another
law passed by Bill Clinton, with much chagrin was his final and quite
workable Federal law to allow open homosexuals to serve in the U.S.
military with the exception that they keep their sexual choices to
themselves, which applied to heterosexuals as well.
As a man who
quite obviously loves his adorable children, it seems a betrayal
against all children everywhere for President Obama to allow two gay
men the right to adopt young children. It cannot be a
positive experience for kids who must declare that they have two
daddies or two mommies. Society could accept Lesbians raising or
adopting a child, since babies is what women do and are those who will
certainly know what a mother is, gay or straight. A gay woman is still a woman, and there are not too many women, gay or straight who sexually molest their children. Regardless
of President Barack Obama’s denials during the campaign, he fully
intends to combat Aids with sex education in public schools with sexual
orientation education as early as kindergarten. Participation will be
mandatory and declared to a part of national security and woven into
the social fabric of our nation, the American thing to do.
President Obama
has already spoken with a fork tongue in saying he did not support
abortion but thought it was acceptable as an option for women. He will
paint his campaign to legalize homosexual marriage across the whole
country in soothing, American dreamy themes that will lead the nation
of bleating sheep right over the social precipice and plunge America
headlong into a new dark age.
These are the things I see that President Barack Obama will inflict upon this nation. His resolve to create a new society is not just evident, it is obvious and already extending its presence and digging in claws across the globe. Welcome to America, the Second Republic.

Now,
I was not a fan of Barack Obama during the campaign, nor am I now. Yet,
I can truly tell you that I am a big fan of political expert and
writer, Earl Ofari Hutchinson. There is possibly no one in the current
political circles who has written more profoundly and fairly about the
constant waves of change in American politics than Earl Ofari Hutchinson. One of the best reasons I can give for my appreciation of Mr. Hutchinson is his new book, ‘How Obama Won.’ This excellent book is an interesting, fair, understandable and realistic account of the political race that propelled Barack Obama into the White House as America’s first African American President. It has to be one of the best records
of this historic campaign that has been penned and perhaps into the
future, making it a must read for opponents and supporters of Obama alike.

The Palin Gamble
It
was a foregone conclusion among many observers that if McCain lost two
things would do him in. One of them he couldn't control. That was the
economy, not its collapse, but when it collapsed. In a look at how six
of eight presidents fared since 1948 when the economy went on the rocks
or appeared to go on the rocks, three were beaten and three beat back
their challengers. If the economy went bad toward the end of a
president's term, voters were much more likely to blame and punish not
just the president but also his party.
McCain was not Bush as he pointedly reminded Obama in their last televised debate in October, 2008. But he was the GOP presidential standard bearer, and he had to take the heat for the GOP's real and perceived economic sins. That hurt and hurt bad. McCain's slogans and shouts about country first, along with his subtle and open knocks at Bush and the GOP couldn't change that.
He could do something about his vice-presidential pick and McCain was if anything a good listener. The instant he heard the loud squeals from Republican pro-life hawks that his campaign would be DOA if he dared tried to shove former Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge or maverick Senator Joe Lieberman on the ticket, he back pedaled fast. Both are moderates on abortion. And that made them anathema to the hawks. Earl Ofari Hutchinson
We'll never know whether McCain's brief float of their names as GOP VP possibilities was a trial balloon, a deft feint, or just loose talk. But it did set things up nicely for Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Despite much talk from McCain's camp and the pro and con pundit chatter touting her as being fresh, young, a reformer, anti-GOP establishment and an ingenious pick, or slamming her as a political school girl novice, and a disastrous pick, the fact was that Palin was on the ticket to assuage the pro-life hawks. But more importantly, she was there to fire up the millions of men and women voters who demand that a GOP presidential candidate firmly oppose abortion. That's the price for their vote.
He also gambled that she could bag a big swatch of disgruntled Hillary Democratic women, rev up the Christian fundamentalists, and burnish his claim to be the Washington outsider. The hope was that social conservatives would flood the polls on Election Day. The problem was that Palin, as events amply showed, was a social conservative with a mini-telephone book of negatives who at times turned out to be SNL laughingstock fodder.
What she gave to the ticket she also took away.
Worse she also put an issue back on the table, Obama’s table that is, that McCain had struggled mightily to take off namely his age and health. A big percentage of voters still said they had huge reservations about McCain, because of his age. This fear led back to Palin. There was stark horror among untold numbers of voters at the thought of having her only a heartbeat away from the presidency.
The Palin pick was the biggest single reason why long time rock solid GOP Party regulars and a slew of Reagan and W. Bush and Bush Sr. appointees did the unprecedented. They jumped ship to back Obama.
However, what about the abortion issue? Could Palin have really helped McCain on this? Several major polls since 2003 have shown that while the abortion question attimes slid lower on the public's issue radar scope, it never has slipped entirely off it. Americans have been almost evenly divided between those who call themselves pro-choice and pro-life. In the five presidential elections between 1984 and 2000 the majority of voters who said abortion was a major issue for them, backed the GOP candidate. Pro-life leaning voters were more likely to dash to the polls to back the GOP candidate.
A Gallup Values and Belief survey in May, 2008 measured the effect of pro and anti-abortion sentiment on the presidential race. It found the pro life voter edge translated out to about a 2 to 3 percent bump up for the GOP presidential candidate.
In a runaway election for either the Democratic or GOP presidential candidate that percent wouldn't mean much. In a tight down to the wire election that percentage jump could be huge.
The dilemma for Obama was how to defuse the pro-life hot box. The obvious counter was to fire up pro choice advocates. They also number in the millions, and an aroused, impassioned plea to them and their march to the polls potentially could give Obama the bump up he needed from the pro choice side. NARAL-Pro Choice America and NOW wasted no time in lambasting McCain and Palin. They called his picking her a cynical ploy and smoking gun proof that he was a rigid extremist on abortion. The blasts were timely, hard hitting, and they worked. They fired up pro choice or pro life men and women voters. That was another Obama plus.
In the end, plopping Palin on the GOP presidential ticket was worse than a gamble. It was a sure loser. And that even included on the GOP’s age old signature issue, abortion.
