Senator Obama regularly calls us to be united in our “common humanity” and “our shared destiny.” In Berlin, he called on all of us to tear down all sorts of “walls” that divide us. However, despite vague references to “our values,” Obama cannot articulate what it is that unites us or what are our values. In fact, his politics are not the politics of unity, but of division. The unity Obama offers can never be because he views sins as fundamental rights. Spe Salvi (Saved in Hope), the encyclical letter of Pope Benedict XVI, reminds us that “[s]in is . . . the destruction of the unity of the human race.” Yet, Senator Obama wants us to embrace sin as a fundamental right. How can our country ever hope to achieve unity if we embrace sin?
Obama divides mothers and children, supporting a mother’s “right” to kill her child if it is unwanted. He divides husbands and wives, by supporting contraception and mandating insurance coverage for it, depriving the sexual act of its unitive and procreative elements...

Listen to these folks and you will get a taste of Obama’s politics of division and intimidation! These Democrat voters will not be voting for Obama, for sure!

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."[2]

excellent read
But sin IS a fundamental right. It is certainly your right to sin. And it is God’s right to punish you for sinning.
Why would I expect more from the Obamessiah? I don't think Obama really cares about the moral issues, at least as Christians understand moral issues. Obama's gospel is merely Matthew 25:31ff., with Obama as the Obamessiah. The sheep and the goats...the sheep voted for Obama, the goats voted for McCain.
I'm not sure where all this talk about uniting us comes from. Perhaps it's his misguided belief that he can persuade everyone to agree with him. Or, maybe his thugs will put the opposition in line. Or, it's just a lot of rhetoric, with little substance. I think it's the latter, which is why I don't let it bother me too much.
I suspect the destiny Obama wants many of us to share is that of the infants born alive after botched abortions, whom he voted to let die.
“Obama wants to build a false unity, a unity built around him and his social program, not God.”
Truth!
Amen — that subtle distinction escaped my notice. You are right.
