Why I Can't Vote For Obama
By Huntley Brown

Dear Friends,

A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an
email with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided
to complete my perspective.

First, I must say whomever wins the election will have my prayer support.

Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments, but I need to explain
why I will not be voting for him.

Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness.

I process my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower)
means He leads, I follow. I can't dictate the terms He does because He is
the leader .

I can't vote blac k because I am black, I have to vote Christian because
that's who I am. Christian first, black second. Neither should anyone from
the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I
won't be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and
accepted Him as Lord and Savior.

In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets
abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, and human cloning
wrong, economic concerns will soon not matter.

We need to follow Martin Luther King's words, don't judge someone by the
color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don't know
Obama so all I can go off is his voting record.

His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US
Senate in 2007.

NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (1/31/2008).

To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal senator take s
some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in two short years. I wonder what
would happen to America if he had four years to work with.

There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100 % rating.
There is a reason the homosexual community supports him.
There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas, etc., love him.
There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme
Court.
There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill.
There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-sex
marriage.
There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion.
There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito.
These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial
birth abortion--the same practice Obama wanted to continue.

Let's take a look at the practice he wanted to continue.

The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedure

A. Guided by u lt rasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps.
(Remember, this is a live baby.)
B. The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
C. The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.
D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are
then opened to enlarge the hole.
E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's
brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then
removed.

God help him.

There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.

Think about this: you can't give a kid an aspirin without parental
notification, but that same kid can have an abortion without parental
notification. This is insane.

There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years. Obama
tells us he has good judgment, but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for
20 years. Now he is condemning Wright's sermons . I wonder why now?

Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple
is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 - 20 'Go and make
disciples of all nations.' This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to
think like you, walk like you, talk like you believe what you believe, etc.
The question I have is, what did Jeremiah Wright teach him?

Would you support a white President who went to a church which has tenets
that said they have a:

1. Commitment to the white community.
2. Commitment to the white family.
3. Adherence to the white work ethic.
4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available
to the white community .
5. Pledge to allocate regularly, a portion of personal resources for
strengthening and supporting white institutions.
6. Pledge allegiance to all white leadership who espouse and embrace the
white value system.
7. Personal commitment to embracemen t o f the white value system.

Would you support a President who went to a church like that?

Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama's
former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he
would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been
marching outside.

This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years
and just discover he went to a racist church.

The church can't be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race.
He came for the whole world.

A church can't have a value system based on race. The church's value system
has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if its a white
church or a black church--it's still wrong. Anyone from either race who
attends a church like this would never get my vote.

Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian
James Cone, author of t he 1 970 book, "A Black Theology of Liberation." Cone
wrote: 'Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally
with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against
white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him."

Cone is the man Obama's mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?

So what does all this mean for the nation?

In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead
a nation it meant one thing -- judgment.

Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king.

First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 'Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly
and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.'

Then God says, 1 Samuel 1:18 ' When that day comes, you will cry out for
relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in
that day.' 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. 'No!' they said.
'We want a king over u s. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with
a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.' 21 When
Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22
The LORD answered, 'Listen to them and give them a king.'

Here is what we know for sure.

God is not schizophrenic.

He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain.
As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so
obviously many people are not hearing from God.

Maybe I am the one not hearing, but I know God does not change and Obama
contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.

For all my friends who are voting for Obama, can you really look God in the
face and say; "Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though
I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He
might have to nominate three or four supreme court justices, a nd I am sure
he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are
against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights,
even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the
other way because of the economy."

I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama's positions. Finally I
have two questions for all my liberal friends.

Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on the nation,

1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation?

2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation?

I'll agree. He actually said something worth saying. Well, nonothing's signature does say that you miss %100 of the shots you never take. It's come to me that nonothing hasn't missed many shots that he could take. Some folks just live to create strife and arguments. Now before nonothing gets offended, I simply stated a simple truth.

So I guess that would make you and I the same? How can I be offended by a kid who comes in here looking for friendship from adults who.s butts he kisses.....I really feel bad for you..It is nice that your well spoken and overly educated..The sad part to me is that you come here to a internet site full of backslapping adults...I am guessing you would claim to be to intellegent to hang with kids your own age?That you would rather come here and chat with the elders,instead of fixing up an old camero or chatting up the young girls at the mall....To each his own but I will give you a little piece of advice...Take it or not,that is your porogative..You will only be 14 years old for one year of your life...you should take this time to be 14....You will find later in life that 14 does only come once in your life,but 41 is no diffenrt then 42,43,44,well i hope you get my point.....There is nothing positive for you here at 14.All it will do is turn you into another gospel preaching know-it all who would rather backslap then stand on your own for what you feel is right...

And you, sir, couldn't aim any higher than having to have a sarcastic attitude and having to bash the other guys on this website. That's why I got tired of posting on here for a while. No one is going to change their views, and I can respect that. I probly won't either. It seems everyone wastes breath trying to tell the truth, tell lies, or bashing. But boy, is it fun! :D Better than talking to girls, even. And Mrs. Greg, I am completely ready to take heat for the immature statements I make.

I think he's dishing out more than he's taking and I haven't heard hm whine about anything. As for sticking up for him....he's right and I'll always stick up for right.

Now you Mrs. Greg are another subject. I haven't quite been able to figure out which end of the cesspool you're drinking from but your definitely drinking.

NoNothing....wish you could see just a bit of my lifestyle. If you like it I might hire you with a fulltime job or is that what you're running from???. :lol: :lol: :lol:
