A Black Columnist on Obama

Subject: A Black Columnist on Obama

Ken Blackwell - Columnist for the New York Sun

It's an amazing time to be alive in America . We're in a year of
firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman
candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a
candidate who is the first front-running freedom fighter over 70.
The next president of America will be a first.

We won't truly be in an election of firsts, however, until we judge
every candidate by where they stand. We won't arrive where we
should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender. Now
that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we
need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his
policies and his politics.

The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee
until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is now
the front runner, and its time America takes a closer and deeper
look at him. Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy.
He's not. He's the next George McGovern. And it's time people
learned the facts.

Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal
senator in the entire U.S. Senate. He is more liberal than Ted
Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have
I seen a presidential front runner whose rhetoric is so far removed
from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he
lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost.
Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.
Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he's not behind in
the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were
in a beauty pageant.. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party,
getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of America .
But let's look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath
this superficial "beauty."

Start with national security, since the president's most important
duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked
about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons;
meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to
destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who
is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the
nuclear option was off the table against terrorists - something no
president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear
weapons in the 1940s. Even Democrats who have worked in national
security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a
foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.

Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care
system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements,
created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more
goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live
a life that no one imagined a generation ago. Yet Mr. Obama
promises to raise taxes on "the rich." How to fix Social Security?
Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs?
Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise
taxes. His solution to everything is to have government take it
over. Big Brother on steroids, funded by your paycheck.

Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to
open a stadium rally by saying, "All praise and glory to God!" but
says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have
"hijacked" - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth
abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will
rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the
abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of
racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual
marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois , he
refused to vote against a statewide ban - ban - on all handguns in
the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francis co
values, not Middle America values.< /FONT>

The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs.
Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if
people don't start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches.
His vision of "bringing America together" means saying that those
who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or
warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda
and abandoning any conflicting beliefs.

But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker
he is and - yes - they're talking about his race. Those should
never be the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr.
Obama's radical agenda sets him far outside the American
mainstream, to the left of Mrs. Clinton.

It's time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of
firsts, let's first make sure we elect the person who is qualified
to be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational
war.

According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is:

The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who
will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a
MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will
flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and
when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??

I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to re-post this as many times as
you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or
media outlet...do it! If you think I am crazy,. I'm sorry but I
refuse to take a chance on the "unknown" candidate.
