In his I Have a Dream Speech Dr. King said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." As of Tuesday night November 4, 2008 this dream is still unrealized. In the weeks and days leading up to the election, I tried to listen to as many people as I could concerning why they were voting for Obama. In the overwhelming majority of the responses the answer was because Obama is black!
I thought this election was not about race? Turns out it was. Those who voted for Obama simply because he is an African-American are as guilty of racism as those who voted against him for the same reason. They have become the very thing that Dr. King was trying to avoid. Anyone who knows what Obama actually stands for understands that he is the antithesis of everything the Founders promoted through the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Federalist Papers. The Founders believed in small limited government--Obama thinks government should be as big as you can get it. The Founders believed in a capitalistic society--Obama thinks socialism is the way to go. The Founders believed that citizens had the right to possess their own guns--Obama wants to take your guns away, including ammunition used for hunting. The Founders believed in the concept of Life--Obama will not stand up for the unborn even after an abortion is botched. The Founders believed that war was necessary in order to correct the evils of illegitimate rulers--Obama thinks that he can talk his way out of conflict.
Congratulations America!! The world is rejoicing with you!! By the way, did anyone else besides me wonder why Iran was celebrating Obama's win? Congrats to America! You have elected a man who attends a racist church. You have elected a man who claims to be a Christian but does not accept the truth of John 14:6 nor the biblical truth that homosexuality is a sin.
You have elected a man who's party in 2004 ignored the banking industry's pleading that its banks were in trouble and they painted those who tried to warn them as trying to hold a lynch mob (which led to the $700 billion bailout). You have elected a man who has connections to KNOWN TERRORISTS during a time when we are trying to fight terrorists. You have elected a man who in previous times has sided with the enemies of Israel. You have elected a man who has accused our troops of "raiding villages and killing innocent civillians." You have elected a man who supports the Fairness Doctrine which could make it a crime for a church to preach against homosexuality and abortion. Essentially it would make it difficult to preach the gospel.
So...congrats to all you who voted for the most liberal and inexperienced candidate in the history of America. Obama talks about change well...change is certain to come. It will mean change for our churches and believers. It will mean change in the Constitution as the very bedrock principles of our free market society are put to shreads. It will also result in a change in our nation's morality as we drift even further to the left to an ammoral society. It will result in the change of First Amendment rights. Ultimately it will result in the change of a more socialistic society. Hard working Americans who employ other Americans and provide the backbone for the economy will be taxed more than they can afford which in turn means that many Americans will lose their jobs. Thus the very people Obama campaigned to help will be the ones that ultimately suffer the most.
Change is definately in the air, but I'm not sure the majority of Obama supporters are going to like it when it happens. With all the immorality and post-modern relativism that encompasses our nation today, I can not help but believe that Obama's election is further evidence that the "strong hand of providence" of God that George Washington talked about many years ago concerning the reason behind America's founding, is slowly being removed. When God's protective hand is removed from our nation...that should scare us but it should also cause believers to stand strong, keep your faith, and relish in the fact that regardless of who the president is the Lord is still in control.
