Obama Seems To Be Foolish!Is He?
Your Life May Depend On The Answer
“Forsake foolishness and live,
And go in the way of understanding.”(Prov 9:6)
“Professing to be wise, they became fools.”(Rom 1:22)
I have been pondering what to think and say about the nomination of Sen. Barack Obama.Sadly, there is far too much about which to be concerned.We should not have a candidate like him – a far left socialist who will give away as much of your money as possible, whilst he takes away your freedoms; who will tax you and your business to the uttermost; who will work to silence all opposing viewpoints on radio or TV; and who will appease our mortal enemies (thereby inviting their disdain and attacks), denuding our defense system; and so much more.
We should not have a candidate like this because he does not seem WISE, but rather FOOLISH (Prov 12:5; Mt 5:22).He and his anti-American, unpatriotic socialistic fellow travelers do not seem concerned about, do not understand, or do not believe the Jihadists’ intentions and, therefore, are espousing programs which will undermine our national defense and expose us to the devastating consequences of such deluded perspectives, worldviews and policies.
It is impossible in one sitting to describe how destroyed our nation, culture and civilization will be if Obama and his fellow travelers control the White House, Congress, the courts, the state houses, the universities, and the media.
Therefore, I have decided to apportion information and commentary about the potential ravaging and turmoil of an Obama presidency into small bites, one or two topics at a time.Here is the first (and probably the most important since it involves life or death):
A COMPLETE LACK OF INTEREST, UNDERSTANDING AND CONCERN ABOUT JIHADISM – THE SO-CALLED “WAR ON TERROR”
Because of George Bush and the media, seven years after 9/11 most Americans no longer realize (or care) that we are at war with an implacable enemy which is dedicated to our subjugation or destruction.[President Bush is complicit in this sorrowful saga by his refusal to identify the real enemy – militant Islam and Jihadism.]
Here are some observations from experts on this topic:
“To my mind, the Jihad that Islamists have declared against us isTHE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE OF OUR TIME… the serious threat they pose to American freedoms.”
“Whether they’re using the hard sell of bloody deaths, or the soft sell of co-opting a nation’s institutions and preying on its well-meant deference to other cultures and its own self-loathing, the Jihadists have a clearly defined goal -- an Islamic world - and they're very committed to effectuating that goal.”
“ As Norman Podhoretz has already explained, this is World War IV.”
“Obama, however, does not understand this. He envisions cozy chit-chats with Ahmadinejad and loving hand-holding with Hamas. There’s every indication that, given his world view, he’ll take Clinton’s ‘Ah feel your pain’ approach one step further, and engage in a self-abasing ‘I -- or, rather, America -- caused your pain.’”
“Congress and the White House must wake up and realize that when Ahmadinejad says ‘all the Islamic countries’ are in unity against the United States, his remarks should not be ignored. Yes, Ahmadinejad is a madman, just as Hitler was before him.”
“And the sooner America’s leaders figure out that our nation is at war with Islam, the faster they will understand that the OPEC grip on high oil prices is just one strategic linchpin in Islam’s war plan against the West.”
“It is Islam, not ‘terror,’ that is at war with the United States and Israel. Terror is Islam’s military strategy. Oil and financial prowess are even more effective strategies being employed by Islam, because it believes that if it attacks the disposable income of every American citizen, the entire nation will be brought to its knees and its will to resist will be destroyed.”
Finally, the following excerpt will leave you shaking your head.Remember, this is a Bush-administration policy:
“Recent government policy memoranda, circulating through the national counter-terrorism and diplomatic community, establishes a new ‘speech code’ for the lexicon in the war on terror”
“These new ‘speech codes’ recommended that analysts and policy makers avoidthe terms jihad or jihadistor mujhadid or ‘al-Qaida movement’ and replace them with ‘extremists’ and by extension other non-specific terms.”
“This policy is a strategic collapse.”
“It is a failure of commission, a collapse of competency and reason. It is a collapse of precision and possibly the most profoundsetback in the war on terror since 9-11”

You neocons are a lousy judge of character. You assume that anyone who does not sahre your paranoia, hatred, and blessing of the bombs we are dropping over there is a peacnik or "Hippie". Well for one, anyone who passonatly calls for war without actually presenting his own body to fight is a disfuntional Chickenhawk. (Teddy Roosevelt said something to that extent)
As a 26 year veteran, I now side with those who have been in combat after having to dive uder a ship looking for bambs for real.
And as who still owns enough firepower to take on a street gang, I am hardly a peacnik. I consider myself a warrior who refuses to draw his sword for your cause. Click here to reply to this post
No more or less evil than neocn christianity with its gospel of bombs & bullets. It's lip service to Gods way while it continues to practice the same depravities as those of the godless left. Click here to reply to this post

But all I hear is: blah, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah. Don't you get tired of a ONE track rhetoric that has no impact in this forum? Your view that the war in Iraq is without merit may be correct, but a stand against terror is justifable and we should erradicate it on their home front. John Click here to reply to this post

Great article, Mr. Valentine. As to the many comments that have been posted, an Obama presidency is truly frightening. McCain is not much better, but you need to realize that presidents will come and go, but Supreme Court justices are around for a very long time. Click here to reply to this post

I think Obama is an abomination, but we should not be misled or sidetracked with false Islamic rhetoric and "war on terror" talk. Both Obama and McCain are puppets to corporate fascism. The real threat to the U.S. is its oversized corrupt government that has turned its back on its constituents. The other threat is cultural Marxism which has been eroding our educational institutions, our government, and our churches for many decades. Islam is not responsible for open borders to illegal immigrants. Islam is not responsible for post modern and emergent Christianity. Islam is certainly not responsible for the American society's moral decay. Islam has not ripped our Constitution to shreds. Our very own government is the biggest threat to our citizens. If the U.S. insists on playing an imperialistic global political and economic game, we will lose. George Cancilla Click here to reply to this post
"False Islamic Rhetoric"?!

No, the Islamic problem is not the ONLY problem in this country but it IS a problem and not just "rhetoric". All regulars here know how you feel about the government. We get it. The devil appreciates any time we down-play his favored religion or devert attention away from how he operates through it. It really helps him out when "Christians" apologize for even questioning it's (Islam) motives and plans for "infadels". Watch as this demonic religion becomes more and more protected and prettied up as a "great religion that's been hijacked by a few extremists". Watch as this "Emergant Christianity" that you mention blends into the Islamic religion. Watch as uncompromising Christians will be judged by Islam tollerant "Christians" that don't don't want to be lumped together with such intollerant fanatics (sold-out believers). Barack H. Obama is a Muslim. His "Christian" pastor is a Muslim. This is not rhetoric. This is fact, problem and a great concern for this uneducated country boy. Read you post and see if you don't sound sympathetic and apologetic to this demonic move called Islam. Please don't take this thing so lightly. Click here to reply to this post

You are so right about the emergent church, rhino republicans, and the democratic party coalescing into a force that marginalizes what is called the "christian right". McCaine has specifically set up his candidacy so that he does not need us. Both him and Obama along with the democratic congress are going to pass the "fairness doctrine" to attempt to remove right wing radio, then it is hate crime legislation, followed by violence from college students that is given a thumbs up. College campuses are already becoming intolerant and violent. We sawe police standing around as lesbians climbed through windows shouting down a student who wasn't speaking what is "permissable". It is going to come fast and furious and your pension fund and 401K won't save you. Only Jesus can do that. Click here to reply to this post

With the polixies of the last seven years, the right has no high ground. You talk of the left spending money but this current administration has increased the debt more than any other admistration before it. We are at war? When was the lst time you "Had a blastin Baghdad?" I love how those who cheer from the sidleines shout "We".
Freedoms? McCain is the same economic traitor Bush is and Obama promises to be.
The only difference is that McCain want to expand your war without ony plan to pay for it. This will lead us to the same fall as the British empire. The right went wrong and deserves whatever it gets.
A war to impose western opostasy upon the Islamic world will bring on the very terrorism you claim it will prevent.
With the abortion, drug abuse, divorce, and other depravityies of the world being the same inside our churches as those of the unsaved, you have nothing to offer the world except for the godless ways of the world. You want "Thise evil Muslim" T stop beheading criminals? Show a better way of dealing with them. Currently, our alternativer is to set them free to rape, rob, and kill again. Bomb the Muslims into exchanging Qurans for condoms. Let the right lose. Click here to reply to this post

If you do not learn the disturbing truth about Barack Hussein Obama it will be because you have made a concious effort to avoid it. This will not be a legitimate excuse if you are one of the 43% of "evangelical Christians" that claim they will vote for this man that is possessed by a spirit of antichrist. His blatant hate of America is well documented and the easiest research I've ever done. He is not just a "pro-choice" liberal, he and his wife are blood-thirsty baby killers that want abortion performed even on birthed babies. I'm convinced that this is their way of acting out their extreme hate of Christ. Their "Christian" background is cultish and nothing more than the never-ending scam for the ignorant 43% of "evangelicals" that don't even know Christ Jesus. As B. Hussein Obama, his own "Christian" pastor has a documented Muslim past and demands that God bring damnation on America-just as our worst enemies do. I hope this is allowed. There is a website (www.theobamafile.com) that has all the detailed documentation you need. If you can't handle the accountability, don't go there. You've been warned...if you read your Bible.

At 51 years of age, you fit the old saying about wars: "The old men start them, the young men fight them, and everybody in the middle gets killed". Once more we ahve an old man shouting to send kids to war and cheering from the sidelines. Read your Bible you say? Can you show me where Christ calls upon his Church to take over governments, build a military industrial complex using money we don't have, and liberating the world into democracy? For that matter, can you opne you Bible and show me anywhere "The will of the people" AKA "Democracy" is EVER spoken of favorably much less called for? Every time "The people" rise up and call for somehting in the Bible, it is always in a negative light.
Where does Paul call upon Roman Senators to pass any laws? Quite to the contray, the real challenge in the CHurch is not to outlaw what God hates and enforce it wuth SWAT Teams wearing Crosses on their Kevlar.
The real challenge is to obey God rather then men. To not do these things when it is not only legal to do it but in some cases legally mandated to do it. Click here to reply to this post

...or was mine (post) just a coin toss to vent some anti...uh...something? I promise, I gave your response several reads and I just wasn't able to find anything relevant to what I said. It could be me, I'm not the deep thinker that I thought I was in my 20's. Did you read my words or deduce that I crave "war" simply because of my "old age"? I'm sorry, I missed the "war" part. When I said "read your Bible" I should have been more clear...I guess. I was hoping most would understand I was asking people to read and see what the word says concerning people that claim to be bought by the Blood of Christ yet support a man that lusts to shed the blood of the most innocent amoung us (babies). I'm sorry, I'm not a great communicator and I didn't try to trick you into reading your Bible to learn how to take over the government for Jesus. Really, how did you get that from what I wrote? I'm sorry, I thought "law" was a God thing and I DID just assume that "Paul" would have been in support of it. Are you saying to obey God is to just lay down and let demonic possessed men arrest my children for praying in public? Would that be a better use of "Kevlar-sporting SWAT teams" (I'm concerned about my mental well-being. I didn't even realize I was thinking about SWAT teams for Jesus)? I read ALOT of talking-points in your response that are the exact same words that are raged at the almost-monthly "peace rallies" in DC by the new "hippies". I'll admit, that one could be my "old age" perception. Maybe Jesus will just snatch us out of here in the nick of time before evil starts in this country. I'm still not sure what offended you in what I said. Click here to reply to this post

Have YOU read your Bible? If you are arrested for praying in public, that should be a cause to rejoice for you are then suffereing for Christ. You love to talk about Obama and thus, claim McCain is Gods own candidate. Sorry, but the GOP are the same baby aborting, adultering, homosexual, drug abusing heathens as thos on the left. They only pay lip servive to Christian values in order to get your vote. The awfull truth is that all of the depravities of the world are no different within the walls of our Churches than those of the heathens. Try and read Pauls Epistles sometime. Divorce, homosexuality, drunkeness, even pedophilia wa rampant in Rome when he wrote thos and yet, where does Paul call for a certian Senator to pass laws to stop these things? What Paul does call for is to have those within the body of Christ to be known as those who do not do these things. Currently, the left knows our Churches as "Those who do them too" And they are right. The Gospel does not stand or fall over who is in the White House. Click here to reply to this post
I mean-absolutely WOW!! Are you not able to find an argument to suit you or justify something you are angry or on a guilt trip about? I'm serious. I never mentioned (or considered) war, McCain, the GOP, divorce, homosexuality, Rome, bombs... Do you have some imaginary enemy that is speaking to you subliminally through my post's? If you are a "warrior" I'm glad your not armed and a few thousand miles from me, your new-found enemy(?). Shoul I desire for my children to be arrested to recognize we're living in prophetic times? I wouldn't be much of a father if I "rejoiced" in seeing my own children suffer. I obviously don't have that kind of faith(?)...pray for me. Again, you use words and phrases that give you away as a "blame America (& Christians) for everything" wann-a-be protester. I can make claim to be a "26 year" ANYTHING, but my fruit tells who I am. I will not apologize for loving my country and attempting to protect her. And I'm not talking about "war and bombs". Just curious, what are you looking for at this Christian forum? You don't seem to like Christians. Please keep coming back though, this is good influence. Click here to reply to this post

Who is the one crying out "Those evil Muslims"?
Who wants to bomb the Middle East into submission?
Who is name calling those who disagree with the neocon position?
It is you who is unable to justify your agruement. Christ does not allow for anyone to say "Us good them evil" For ALL fall short of God's Glory. Click here to reply to this post

51,GA was talking about Obama because there is no reason to talk about McCain. McCain is a non-entity - he doesn't have the following that Obama has. You never answered 51,GA's questions: where does he propagate voting McCain? where does he say, "Let's bomb the MidEast (or whatever)"? Where does he say, "Us good you bad (or whatever)"?
