If we don't have it our nation will be worse off. Obama doesn't seem to have it.<BR/><BR/>Pro Abortion, Pro Gay Rights, Pro Socialism (more than before) isn't good news. I don't want to see headlines like this and I don't think most Christians left or right want them either:<BR/><BR/>• Obama enacts stronger “federal hate crimes legislation” to “reinvigorate enforcement at the Department of Justice’s Criminal Section.”<BR/><BR/>• Obama creates “a fund to help people refinance their mortgages and provide comprehensive supports to innocent homeowners.”<BR/><BR/>• Obama, following through on his pledge to “meet with the leaders of all nations, friend and foe,” signs a non-agression pact with the Hitler of Iran.<BR/><BR/>• Obama doubles foreign aid to $50 billion to cut “poverty around the world in half by 2015.”<BR/><BR/>• Obama removes our troops from Iraq, leaving a power vacuum filled by Iran.<BR/><BR/>• Obama enacts socialized medicine, destroying small businesses with taxes to pay for illegal alien healthcare.<BR/><BR/>• Obama enacts amnesty for illegal aliens.<BR/><BR/>• Obama enacts legislation demanding carbon friendly cars, hammering the final nail in the coffin of the US car industry.<BR/><BR/>• Barack Obama enact laws to reinforce affirmative action by funneling money to “women and minority-owned businesses.”<BR/><BR/>• Obama repeals the Bush tax cuts.<BR/><BR/>• Obama enacts the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to entrench the power of the homosexual lobby.<BR/><BR/>All of these come directly from his promises on his web site. I can't see myself supporting this kind of candidacy.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16540894657933632541noreply@blogger.com
