Well if he thinks abortion should be rare, why would he say to go ahead and deny medical treatment for infant from an unsucessful abortion? But that is beside the main point here.Critics of Obama re his religion should read “Dreams of My Fathers”. He is quite open in his discussion of his religion and his personal struggle with matters of faith. He describes in some detail his acceptance of Christ.
Code:I am beginning to worry about my beloved country. It seems that enormous hatred and distrust is being directed at Obama, much of it on the basis of scurrilous lies. I may or not vote for Obama in 2012 if he runs again, but I want him to be a good president, just as I wanted George W. to be good president. I am convinced that Obama is a genuine idealist who voices many of my ideals, too - many Christian ideals - but people like Emanuel and Exelrod trouble me. Can he supercede that Chicago crowd that I distrust? On the abortion issue, which seems to be the litmus test for most CAFers, how can we disagree with Obama when he says that abortion should be as rare and as safe as possible? While I am against abortion, I recall the hutchering that went on when they were illegal. I am acquainted with ine situation where the mother died when she decided that she could not provide for another child. She may have been wrong, but she didn't desrve to die. And as with nearly everything else there may be some exceptions. In that situation where the nun was excommunicated, for example. If it is to save the life of the mother it may be the lesser evil. I am familiar with one situation where a faithful Catholic woman became pregnant and was warned by her doctor that another birth probably would mean her death and that of her baby. She had six young children already. Now, she decided not to have an abortion to 'prove her faith and her trust in God' - her sad husband explained later. Both she and the baby died, leaving six motherless children. Now, some of you may salute her for her courage and all that. Frankly, I'm more concerned about the grieving husband and the six children she has left behind. Personally, I view Obama haters as unAmerican, people who are unwittingly weakening our nation and playing into the hands of our country's enemies.
I don’t hate Obama. I don’t even know him. But he practices and believes in despicable socialist ideas which have never worked anywhere they’ve been tried. He wants to redistribute wealth by forcefully taking it away from those who earned it through honest hard work and give it to someone else of his chosing. How can this not be wrong and despised?
He is the one destroying our country, not the folks who disagree with his policies. Why is it the first time he says anything about freedom of religion it is to support the legal right of Muslims to offend sensible and sensitive people. But let somebody use the word Christmas instead of holiday, put up a manger scene, or heaven forbid, have the 10 commandments in a public place and watch the fur fly.
I don’t hate him. But I hate absolutely everything he and his ilk stand for.
