In February 2004, U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls.

I testified in 2001 and 2002 before a committee of which Obama was a member.
Obama articulately worried that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women's rights or abortionists' rights. Obama's clinical discourse, his lack of mercy, shocked me. I was naive back then. Obama voted against the measure, twice. It ultimately failed.
In 2003, as chairman of the next Senate committee to which BAIPA was sent, Obama stopped it from even getting a hearing, shelving it to die much like babies were still being shelved to die in Illinois hospitals and abortion clinics.
(As chair of that same committee, Obama once abruptly ended a hearing early, right before Scott and Janet Willis, the parents of six children killed as a result of Illinois' drivers licenses for bribes scandal, were to testify in favor of Choose Life license plate legislation. I was there for that one, too. The Willises had traveled three hours. Reporters filled the room. Obama stalled. He later killed the bill when no one was around.)
After reading this my first thought was Obama, the anti-christ.
All valid reasons, I suppose. But the more obvious reason is that he probably didn’t exist.
He is a POS.
folks who fall for him are either voting skin, guilt or ignorance
I don’t think Jesus would touch American politics with a 50 foot pole, so this a moot point.
“All valid reasons, I suppose. But the more obvious reason is that he probably didn’t exist.”
What “he” are you talking about?
The Obama Nation (Abomination) that causes desolation?
You mean Jesus wasn’t a big-government socialist?
That's not really the main subject of this article, but Christ taught his disciples to own up to their civic responsibilities. He also mandated that one should pracitice what he preached. And BTW, American politics are hardly more cynical than either Israel's or Rome's, when Christ tread soil.
A: Because Barak Obama directly used the public trust in his office as Illinois State Senator, to protect the practice of infanticide.
Jesus doesn’t have a vote. His Kingdom is not of this world.
And, he’s not an American citizen. But I hear he votes regularly for Conservative candidates in the Knesset.
would jesus even believe in democracy? We are talking about a rabbi who lived 2000 years ago in roman-occupied judea.
It is not clear to me that the background of anyone in that time and place would lend itself to regarding representative government as a good idea. Are the meek to inherit the earth, or are they to be allowed to vote upon the matter?
“And BTW, American politics are hardly more cynical than either Israel’s or Rome’s, when Christ tread soil.”
As you no doubt know, so many comparisons between late republican/imperial politics and modern american politics are easily drawn, perhaps as much as any other period in classical history (though my greek history is not up to snuff)....
Is there anything in US senatorial politics now that wasn’t seen over and over in the roman senate?
That is no big deal. Jesus's Dad had his henchmen kill all the first born of an entire nation just to make a point.
Jesus did whatever he needed to do, to be a responsible citizen, where he lived.
But, that is not what the article is about..........
yes... my gosh we are talking about killing babies
the better question would be: Would even mohammad vote for obama?
Well hello, blasphemy.
This just in: God kills every human who has ever been born. Genesis 3. Film at 10.
Now, go pee on something else, please.
