From the desk of the always to the point Paul Hollrah:
July 20, 2007 – The Obama campaign launched a campaign to capture the conservative Christian vote. The campaign is called the “Joshua Generation Project,” named after Moses’ successor who led the Israelites into Canaan after they had wandered in the Sinai for forty years.
CBN’s David Brody has resurrected the substance of a 2004 You Tube speech by Obama in which he said, “Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
Obama criticized the “Christian Right” for hijacking religion and using it to divide the nation. He said, “Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked. Part of it is because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who’ve been all too eager to exploit what divides us.”
In spite of what Obama might think, America IS a Christian nation. It was founded by Christians, it was populated by Christians, and it has been governed from the beginning by Christian values. The Founding Fathers were concerned that the United States not become a theocracy so they added language to our Constitution prohibiting Congress from establishing an official state religion, but that was in no way a denial of our Christian roots.
If we are a “Muslim nation,” as Obama suggests, then how should Christians react to the notion that, in matters of marriage, the Prophet Muhammad is the model that Muslims follow. Muslims claim that Muhammad took a girl named 'Aisha to be his wife when she was 6, but he didn’t start having sex with her until she was 9. Obama might want to explain to us exactly how we can square that idea with Christian values.
He might also want to reread some of the sermons he heard during the nearly twenty years he sat in the pews of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and then explain to us how his and Rev Wright’s brand of “G_ _ damn America” Christianity brings us together.
June 13, 2008 – Obama rejected John McCain’s proposal for 10 joint town hall meetings, offering instead to have just one on July 4.
The Obama campaign said that their candidate offered to meet McCain in five joint appearances between now and November 4, but only one of those would be a town hall meeting, three would be traditional debates with questions selected and posed by Obama-friendly mainstream media figures, and one would be an in-depth debate on foreign policy.
It’s not surprising that Obama, who recently said he would meet John McCain “anywhere, anytime,” would reject the idea of appearing side-by-side with McCain in ten town hall meetings. In recent weeks we’ve been witness to incidents where Obama was called upon to speak extemporaneously. In several instances he simply dissolved into a sputtering mass of “ahs” and “uhs,” incapable of uttering a simple declaratory sentence.
In one such episode, he came to a complete standstill in the middle of a stage, surrounded on all sides by his fawning supporters, pressed a finger against his earpiece… which had suddenly stopped transmitting the words he was supposed to repeat… and said, “Wait a minute, wait a minute, uh, wait a minute, uh, I can’t hear myself.”
Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines a “puppet” as a “small image in the human form… often with hinged limbs, moved by the hand or by strings… as in a mock drama. One acting as another wills; a fool.” It makes one wonder if we might one day find a picture of Obama next to that definition.
June 25, 2008 – The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision in Kennedy v. Louisiana, struck down a Louisiana law allowing capital punishment for people convicted of raping children under the age of 12, saying it violates the Constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The ruling spares two Louisiana men convicted of raping girls 5 and 8.
In a two-sentence, seven-waffle reaction, Obama said, “I have said repeatedly that I think that the death penalty should be applied in very narrow circumstances for the most egregious of crimes… I think that the rape of a small child, 6 or 8 years old, is a heinous crime, and if a state makes a decision that under narrow, limited, well-defined circumstances the death penalty is at least potentially applicable, that that does not violate our Constitution.”
But where does Obama really stand? In 1999, while serving in the Illinois Senate, Obama was faced with a decision to support a bill that would have allowed juveniles who had gang-raped girls under the age of twelve, or who had murdered 8 and 10-year-olds in random drive-by shootings, to be tried as adults.
In that instance, Obama was running for reelection in an African American district in South Chicago, so he sidestepped the issue and voted “present.”
Clearly, Obama’s position on any issue depends on whether or not votes are at stake in the next election. He has yet to show where, in his fourteen years in public life, he has ever taken a stand on an issue that might have a negative impact on his own personal ambitions. Barack Obama is not only naïve and inexperienced… he is also a coward.
