Sunday meditation: Obama and the punishment of unborn life

The Problem with Obama’s View of Christians is:

That, like all good liberals, he sees everything from a worldly secular viewpoint. How can he say the things he does and have any true personal relationship with Christ. It is not my place to judge his soul but his rhetoric and actions appear off base. He is like the so many leftist preachers who want to put God in a convenient box and bring him out when they need more donations in the form of tithes. He reminds me of the “Name it and Clam It” crowd. He thinks that Christians “Cling” to Christ only  as a last ditch effort to make us feel better about our economic problems. We “Cling” to God like we “Cling” to our security “Gun” blanket. He has no clue what it means to most of us to have a personal relationship with Christ.

How can Obama say what he says about Christians, listen to what his pastor says and believe in the God of the Bible, the God that created the universe, and listen to the God that demands justice at the same time?

Obama’s view of Christians, Christianity, and the Bible is Flawed:

He thinks that Christians use God for convenience. He must believe that God’s word, the Bible, is a book to be used to back up his own points rather than Gods Holy word that tells us how to live. The Bible is God’s word to humans on how to live and how to have a personal relationship with Him. It is no wonder that Obama followed a man like Jeremiah Wright for twenty years and didn’t renounce him; he has no Biblical compass to follow True North. He does not understand that deep personal relationship with Christ and he seems determined to keep telling us how far off he is. Obama keeps opening his mouth and inserting his foot as demonstrated in his recent debate with Hillary.

Obama Should Heed to These Words From Scripture:

Proverbs 17 :28

Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent,

and discerning if he holds his tongue.

Michelle Malkin has this to say about Obama:

I wonder how pro-life Catholic Democrats will react to Barack Obama’s pregnancy-as-punitive and pregnancy-as-inconvenience-on-par-with STDs rhetoric? There’s a careless callousness in Obama’s phrasing yesterday that’s definitely not going to sit well with the staunch Pennsylvania pro-life voting bloc. What do you think? Quote:

Out in western Pennsylvania, the issue of abortion can strike a nerve. Democrats there often describe themselves economic liberals and social conservatives who favor gun rights and oppose abortion rights.

So, it was not unusual to see a woman stand near the end of Barack Obama’s town hall meeting in Johnstown, Penn., and offer a hurried, passionate plea for him to “stop these abortions.”

…The exchange appeared to be prompted by Obama’s earlier comments that he does not favor abstinence-only education, but rather comprehensive sexual education that includes information on abstinence and birth control.

“Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old,” he said. “I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.”

By the way you can read My words at Michelle Malkin’s Blog here.

Barack Obama’s pro-lifer-as-terrorist analogy

By Michelle Malkin • April 17, 2008 01:40 PM

Barack Obama’s performance was so awful last night, I gave short shrift to his cringe-inducing comparison of convicted terrorist Bill Ayers with GOP Sen. Tom Coburn. Let’s go back to the transcript to spell out just how botched this moment was:

MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator, if you get the nomination, you’ll have to — (applause) — (inaudible).

I want to give Senator Clinton a chance to respond, but first a follow-up on this issue, the general theme of patriotism in your relationships. A gentleman named William Ayers, he was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s. They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol and other buildings. He’s never apologized for that. And in fact, on 9/11 he was quoted in The New York Times saying, “I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough.”

An early organizing meeting for your state senate campaign was held at his house, and your campaign has said you are friendly. Can you explain that relationship for the voters, and explain to Democrats why it won’t be a problem?

SEN. OBAMA: George, but this is an example of what I’m talking about.

This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.

And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn’t make much sense, George.

The fact is, is that I’m also friendly with Tom Coburn, one of the most conservative Republicans in the United States Senate, who during his campaign once said that it might be appropriate to apply the death penalty to those who carried out abortions.

Do I need to apologize for Mr. Coburn’s statements? Because I certainly don’t agree with those either.

So this kind of game, in which anybody who I know, regardless of how flimsy the relationship is, is somehow — somehow their ideas could be attributed to me — I think the American people are smarter than that. They’re not going to suggest somehow that that is reflective of my views, because it obviously isn’t.

If this is the kind of “friend” Obama is to principled pro-lifers, who needs enemies?

Then there is this thought from Mark Steyn:

HH: But now Mark Steyn, the Ayers connection is going to be a very interesting aspect [of the campaign]. What did you make of that exchange?

MS: Yeah, for a start, I think it’s hilarious that the lefty commentators are now denouncing George Stephanopoulos as some kind of Karl Rove plant for asking this. And one accepts that Hillary Rodham Clinton has to go through the motions of saying oh, well, you know, certainly the Republicans are going to make a lot of play out of this. No, it isn’t. This is for the Democrats. The fact is, it’s entirely legitimate. Senator Obama is a man of no accomplishments, a man of no accomplishments other than getting elected to the United States Senate, and before that, to the Illinois State Senate. He’s done nothing, he has a wafer-thin legislative record, he wrote an autobiography about nothing. So when you have such a man running for president, all you can tell about him are who he has chosen to spend his life with. He’s chosen to spend his life with this kind of yuppy play terrorist who led the Weather Underground, and the neo-segregationist, racist, ranter like Jeremiah Wright. That’s really all we know about Barack Obama, and it’s entirely legitimate to ask him about it.

From the Chicago Sun Times we can read:

A Pinocchio problem? To fib . . . or is it a faulty memory?

• • To wit: Dem presidential contender Barack Obama’s handlers may be telling the press Obama has NO “recollection” of a 2004 party at influence peddler Tony Rezko’s Wilmette house, but a top Sneed source claims Obama not only gave Rezko’s guest of honor, Iraqi billionaire Nadhmi Auchi, a big welcome . . . but he made a few toasts!

Ah, so much Obama so little time.
